I see the headline news the stories that I read do not affect me directly it's hard to feel that they are real I end up gazing at the words I see the evening news reports that they are showing are depressing distressing but even so I'm not involved I end up staring at the screen but you spring to mind you make me think hard I suddenly start to take things to heart you color my world a little more every day seeing clearer now don't you know I'm thinking of you you make me think hard I feel the surprise reality bites a breath of fresh air a little more everyday seeing clearer now the politicians quarrel journalists rejoice in every scoop that they're making for dirty news gets great reviews and profits soar into the sky a famous actor dies the photographs they take of friends in mourning appall me I close my eyes don't recognize the pain I'm seeing every day but you spring to mind you make me think hard I suddenly start to take things to heart you color my world a little more every day seeing clearer now don't you know I'm thinking of you you make me think hard I feel the surprise reality bites a breath of fresh air a little more everyday seeing clearer now don't you know there's no regret we feel no sorrow we do our best to face tomorrow
