I tried my best to get over you
Kept my distance so I wouldn't have to show
That the things which I kept hidden
By my casual smile
Were the things that I needed you to know.
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You could have read the writing on the page
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew it was I was falling for you.
Sometimes I still think that I could get to you
Then I laugh, and think I could swim the seven seas
It seems when I'm set to fly, there's a storm up in the sky
When I'm set to sail, there isn't any breeze.

You could have seen the acting on the stage

But you never knew it was I was falling for you.

It's been some time now that I saw you in a photograph
Looking just the way you did so long ago
I could almost see you throw your head back
And start to laugh in that gentle way that used to let me know
Things were okay, and a hurting song is just a cliche
And what's the use if they only always fade away
Just like the sun - just like everyone - but you
