[Verse 1 ] We talk about the work we do, The things that break, the things we're due. Another task, another day, A hundred things we have to say. And sometimes something slips between, A little piece of life unseen. A weekend plan, a passing thought, A glimpse of something never sought. Then back to work, the moment's gone, And everything keeps moving on. But somewhere in that little space, I find myself recalling your face. [Pre-Chorus] Was that a door you opened wide? Or just a window passing by? Are we both stumbling through the same? Or am I giving shadows names? [Chorus] Whatever the feeling is— Whatever you feeeeeeeeeel— Whoever you want near— Let your feelings appear— Let them flow, loud and clear— [Post-Chorus ] But what if there's nothing there? Just two people being fair. What if all the signs I see Are only what I want them to be? [Verse 2] You tell me something from your life, A little story, then we smile. I share a piece of mine as well, But what it means, I cannot tell. We never really cross that line, Between your world and what is mine. A little laughter, then we're through, Back to the things we're paid to do. And sometimes I think you hesitate, Like there's a word you almost say. But maybe that's just how you are, And I'm the one who's gone too far. [Pre-Chorus] Are you as lost in this as me? Or is there nothing here to see? Do you hold back the way I do? Or am I making stories out of you? [Chorus] Whatever the feeling is— Whatever you feeeeeeeeeel— Whoever you want near— Let your feelings appear— Let them flow, loud and clear— [Chorus] Whatever the feeling is— Whatever you feeeeeeeeeel— Whoever you want near— Let your feelings appear— Let them flow, loud and clear— [Breakdown ] So where did you go—ooooooooooooo! [Outro ] Tomorrow we'll talk about the day, The work, the things that get in the way. And maybe something slips between, A little more than what we've seen. Or maybe nothing changes here, Just familiar words from year to year. And I'll still wonder, now and then, What was real and what I read in them.
