Explain To Me This Feeling



Explain to me this feeling, as if the world stops in your eyes.
This feeling of astonishment, like I haven’t lived completely my own life.
As if something was always missing, something that made me whole.
Because I felt something stir within me, something that just took a hold.
I don’t know what has happened to me, I just feel something new.
Yet it always has been there, trying always to get thru.
L
Like everything I try to do, only begets questions about you.
I seem to find myself asking about this feeling, I wish I just knew.
But life isn’t that simple, it tends to be at times harsh.
But I still want you to explain to me, what lies within my heart.
If only I could say the words I need to, it wouldn’t be so hard.
But I feel so scared and terrified, as if everything would fall apart.
O
Only you can explain to me this feeling, is it really as simple as this?
Or is everything I am saying, pushed aside to miss?
Questions that haunt me endlessly, I need for them to stop.
The ones I’ve always asked you, weren’t the ones I felt on spot.
Can you see what’s in my eyes? Or am I asking for to much?
Do you feel what I can feel? Or am I too in a rush?
V
Voices long gone silent, now scream at my very core.
To grab the one thing I always wanted, the one thing I always needed of more.
Can you explain to me this feeling? Am I as clear as I can be?
What is it that I’ve always been missing? Yet standing right next to me.
Can you explain to me this feeling, and is there anything I can do?
Fine I’ll tell you what I’m feeling, when I’m standing next to you…

Everything fades to a different color…
