"Looking for the way"

Mara Baer & Brian Baer


You're heading for the door, like a thousand times before.
Things never seem to let up, anymore.
She never does suspect, she's like a millstone 'round your neck,
Pulling you down when you could soar.


You've shed so many tears, no one ever seems to hear,
The breaking point is coming very near.
Day by day goes by, nothing's changing, you ask, "Why?"
As time goes by, it gets so hard to share.

If he'd just listen. (She never tells me what she's thinking.)
He's not giving. (If I knew just what she wants.)
He keeps complaining. (I can't say anything that's right.)
I wish he'd build me up! (If she'd just let me build her up!)

Looking for the way we can change our lives today,
To touch each other; make it like before.
Can the magic come again? Will it fly away come spring?
Love is not the answer, it just opens up the door.

Don't turn and walk away, close your mind to all I say,
Misery's the price there is to pay.
Won't you listen, can't I share? Don't you know, I really care?
Is it over? Can we find another way?

If he'd just listen. (She never tells me what she's thinking.)
He's not giving. (If I knew just what she wants.)
He keeps complaining. (I can't say anything that's right.)
I wish he'd build me up! (If she'd just let me build her up!)

Take us back today to the way things used to be;
The happy times that we've been looking for.
Does the magic still remain? Does the caring ease the pain?
Love is not the answer, it just opens up the door.

Looking for the way we can change our lives today,
To touch each other; make it like before.
Can the magic come again? Will it fly away come spring?
Love is not the answer, it just opens up the door.

You're heading for the door, (Looking for the way.)
Like a thousand times before. (We can change our lives today.)
She never does suspect. (Make it like before.)
Love is not the answer, it just opens up the door.
Love is not the answer, it just opens up the door.
Opens up the door, opens up the door,
Opens up the door, opens up the door...
