it's really not important

‘cause your mind is somewhere else

and you're busy with your numbers

drowning in yourself


and it really doesn't matter

‘cause your eyes are on the clock

and now your feet are tapping to the rhythm

but very soon they'll walk


you think it's done

but it didn't even start

passing by your ear

and missing your heart


and it's really not important

you have troubles of your own

and your mind is on the weekend

and all the things to do back home


so when she tells you of her sorrow

when her soul becomes unsealed

she may be foolish but she's hoping

for a small crack in your shield


you think she's done

but she didn't even start

passing by your ear

and missing your heart


it's really not important

‘cause your mind is somewhere else

and you're busy with your numbers

drowning in yourself


and me, i only want to hold you

and to tell you it's ok

though it really makes me sad

every time you turn away


you think we're done

but we didn't even start

passing by your ear

and missing your heart
