School bag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a search of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering the world I'm glad whenever I can share the laughter With that funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every meaning The feeling in me Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on going Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in her eyes, her and me At the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone There's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures? The places I had planned for us to go All belonged so well Some of them we did But most we didn't And why? I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every meaning The feeling in me Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on going Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers all the time School bag in hand She leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile music Sometimes when I'm mad There's a part of me That seems to be a little sad Sometimes when I scream There's a voice in me That says you shouldn't be so mean Oh no, oh no Part of me is angry While the other stands beside Sighing to myself What checkered must I be to Hide We're like sun and rainy weather Somebody's hearing it together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different Or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute Then you'll find the answer If everyone's a freak music Sometimes I am tied With ideas that I got from Wood all of the void Nothing you oppose It may seem to you I try to break through open doors Oh no, oh no I just wanna say a lot of bad advice to me Cause it's an explanation To my split identity We're like sun and rainy weather Somebody's hearing it together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I I don't think I'm different Or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute Then you'll find the answer If everyone's a freak music I don't think I'm different Or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute Then you'll find the answer If everyone's a freak We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I applause
