Van Halen - Learning to See Lyrics

Time after time we
Walk pass the window
And never see the ashes on the ground
Night after night
Watching the sky move
But never feel the earth spinning around

I didn't see you fallin'
I couldn't hear you callin'
Born with eyes wide open
Never learn to see

I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?

Trying to follow
Every footstep
I feel so lost along the way
Reading the scripture
Straight from the gospel
Never understanding what they say, yeah

I didn't see you fallin'
I never heard you' callin'
I've got my eyes wide open
But haven't learned to see, yeah

I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?

And I just gotta be
Me
I just gotta be
Me

Yeah

I didn't see you fallin'
I never heard you callin'
Got my eyes wide open
But never learned to see, yeah

And I never meant to hurt you
Was right there crying with you
We only cage the very thing we want to free

I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
I just gotta be, uh
I just wanna be
Uh, I gotta be
Uh, I wanna be
Got to, got to
I got to, got to be me
I just wanna be
Oh, I wanna be
Oh yeah, oh yeah
