Lyrics Album in Your Mind - Ars Nova

Album in Your Mind

You don’t understand me, don’t try to
You look at snapshots in an album in your mind
And you tell me how I’ve changed, perhaps I have
You had your chance to change the world now it’s my time
Please let me explain my point of view
(I went through the same thing when I was your age)
(Why can’t you believe that we want to understand?)
No, no, no, you’re missing the whole point of this
The problems may be just the same but time is growing short
If we don’t solve 'em this time who can say?
(Where did we go wrong?)
(All these years)
(Think of what you’re doing to your mother)
I know you told me of the things you did
And now you tell me that you want to understand
I’ve tried to please you in so many ways
The things you seem to want are very vague to me
Please let me explain my point of view
(I went through the same thing when I was your age)
(Why can’t you believe that we want to understand?)
I have tried in many ways to play your game
You’ve been playing all your life but do you know the rules?
Do they remain the same or do they change each day?
I don’t believe that I shall ever learn to play
Try to understand another way
(I went through the same thing when I was your age)
(Why can’t you believe that we want to understand?)
No, no, no, you’re missing the whole point of this
The problems may be just the same but time is growing short
If we don’t solve 'em this time who can say?
You don’t understand me, don’t try to
You look at snapshots in an album in your mind
And you tell me how I’ve changed, perhaps I have
You had your chance to change the world now it’s my time
Please let me explain my point of view
