ENTRE NOUS
(Neil Peart / Geddy Lee / Alex Lifeson)

Rush


We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads 

We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships 

Just between us 
I think it's time for us to recognize 
The differences we sometimes feared to show 
Just between us 
I think it's time for us to realize 
The spaces in between 
Leave room 
For you and I to grow 

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know 

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On the troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free
