Window of the World
Written by Glen Burtnik
Lead vocals by Glen Burtnik
Everything has changed.
Everything is different.
Everything is strange.
Everything I thought I knew now makes no difference.
Yeah, but there was a time.
A day I believed was only yours and mine.
We climbed so high until the clouds and the stars were in our eyes.
We were so young.
I can still remember you were my girl with skies so clear we could see forever more through our window of the world.
There was a train we rode.
There were steps we took together.
There was an escalator.
There was an elevator.
There were things we said and things we saw we'd never say or see again.
Yeah, there was a time.
A day I believed was only yours and mine.
We climbed so high to where the sun and the moon stood side by side.
We were so young.
Do you remember?
You were my girl with skies so clear we could see forever more through our window of the world.
Get up, shake it off, get back on the ice.
Interpretation
