I saw in you
Something that I know that I never knew
An awe-struck boy grew
Ready to understand you

And I went to the
Place that I know that you disapprove of
And I don't know what
Keeps you behind your eyes
God knows how hard I've tried

Damn can't you go that deep
Do you neglect to see
What distances you from me
The wall I can't break down

You come off so cool
Denying emotion is the unwritten rule
And it's getting so old
Your fear that you might lose control

And I must confess
Figuring you out is a delicate test
Because you leave me to guess
Why you hold your cards so close to your chest

Damn can't you go that deep
Do you neglect to see
What distances you from me
The wall I can't break down
Damn can't you go that deep
You don't buy the hope I keep
Behind all the tears in my eyes
And you know that I don't know

(Chorus)
