I was walking by myself and I was talking to myself
And I was seeing how great life could be
I was humming songs I know, it didn't matter if a note was missing
Oh I want it out of key
Then I saw your house and I was frozen in my tacks
Like a picture postcard with no writing on the back
Can I whisper in your ear?
I must make sure you hear
I wish that I could care
I wish that I could care
I, I just don't seem to care
How'd I end up on this street?
I never really liked this street
The houses look like caskets on display
When I left, I had a dream, 'cause life is short the grass is greener
Oh but just a block or two away
I saw you standing in the yard
The wind was in your hair
You didn't even see me, it was like I wasn't there
Can I whisper in your ear?
I must make sure you hear
I wish that I could care
I wish that I could care
I, I just don't seem to care
Slowly, turn and shake off my promise
I can't stand the truth but I can find a way
Yes I can fly away
(Fly away, find out, fly away, find out, fly away, find out, fly away)
I'd forgotten just how good and grateful I could be
Deaf and dum and blind and now invisible and free
Can I whisper in your ear?
I must make sure you hear
I wish that I could care
I just don't seem to care
I wish that I could care
I, I just don't seem to care
Can I whisper in your ear? (I wish that I could care)
I must make sure you hear (Wish, wish, wish that I)
I wish that I could care (Wish that I could care)
I just don't think it's clear (Let me whisper in your ear)
I wish that I could care (I wish that I could care, but I)
I just don't seem to care (Just don't seem to care)
I just don't seem to care
