Lyrics
You make me feel like I'm that child again
That sense of wonderment once lost in time
You make me forget all of the nasty things
Those insecurities are left behind

I tried to tell you, yes I tried to tell you
But the meaning's never in the words I say
It's hard to get through when you're being so cool
But I get the feeling we'll be here again

How can one thing that's so good go so wrong?
I thought that we belonged, now I feel drained
So maybe sometime we'll find our compromise
And then we'll seize the prize that we both crave

I tried to tell you, yes I tried to tell you
But the meaning's never in the words I say
It's hard to get through when you're being so cool
But I get the feeling we'll be here again

What would you say if I went away?
Would you forget about me in a matter of days?
And if I go, I want you to know
That I'm the only person you can blame
I've been confused, broken the rules
Wanted respect when nothing was due
Just needed you there, were you aware?
But I got scared, now nothing is fair
So will you show me the way?  Banish the pain
Teach me to care - it hurts when you're not there

I tried to tell you, yes I tried to tell you
But the meaning's never in the words I say
It's hard to get through when you're being so cool
But I get the feeling we'll be here again
But I get the feeling we'll be here again
Yes I get the feeling we'll be here again
And I get that feeling (show me the way)
I get that feeling (show me the way)
What would you say?
