Mark owen is that what it's all about? lyrics

Could somebody give me an answer

a solution to fill up my space

As I take a peep out of the whole in my window

I see a land that is filled with disgrace

Now is it me, or did it used to seem better?

Now I tear grows in every man's eye

but the tear never once reached the surface

And the tree which I climbed slowly dies



Is that what its all about

Hiding our feelings away

Let the problem be that of another man

I'm living my life in this way

Far away from a troubled face

Is that what its all about?



A cure aint been found for my problem just yet

behind the wrought iron gate, it is there, I bet

but the key got a caught in a fishermans net

With a dolphin the boy wanted for his pet

Well I know I aint getting no younger

pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct

and all that I'll leave to remember

is this problem I once paused to think



Is that what its all about

Hiding our feelings away

Let the problem be that of another man

I'm living my life in this way

Far away from a troubled face

Is that what its all about?



Put it behind you

Turn a blind eye

Though you always know that its here

Living your life through the line of defence

I stand for myself, is that what its all about?
