Window Songtext
von Fiona Apple

I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn′t get a clear view
And as he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane that I was looking through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft
It may look like I′m concentrated on
A very clear view
But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
It takes a lot of it away
If you do


I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than forget what I had to say
Or miss what I should see

Because the fact being that
Whatever′s in front of me
Is covering my view
So I can′t see what I'm seeing in fact
I only see what I′m looking through

So again I done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window was cleaned
I still can′t see for the fact
That it's so clear I can′t tell what I'm looking through


So I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than miss what I should see

I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break the window
Than forget what I had to say
Or miss what I should see
Or break him her or me
