The tower stood between our names
You were there, never quite the same
I learned to speak without a sound
And chased your shadow all around

I kept changing
Tried to grow up on my own
You were silent
And I just felt a little more alone

Oohh
The time slipped by
I faded slow
Oohh
I know why
I was more like you than I know

I see your face when I get mad
A quiet fire
I thought it’s something I’ll never have
You held it in — so did I
We both let years go drifting by,

yeah !
We were side by side
But I missed the show

oooh

I kept changing
Built my distance like a wall
You were waiting
But I never heard your call

Oohh
The time slipped by
I faded slow
Oohh
Now we’re alike
Was too late to let it grow
