You couldn't possibly know how much you meant to me
You couldn't honestly look inside my tarot
You couldn't possibly find it in your heart to forgive me
You are the savage sun and scarecrow

And time goes by
And you've got a lot to learn, in your life
And the heart's not inside
And I've got to find the one that's just right

You offer all amends in hopes of saving me
You never imagined I could be strong without you
You offer me a branch of peace that bleeds through
The thorns that welcomed me now speak truth

And time goes by
And you've got a lot to learn, in your life
And the heart's not inside
And I've got to find the one that's just right

And time goes by
And you've got a lot to learn, in your life
And the heart's not inside
And I've got to find the one that's just right
Find the one that's just right

I am the Tin Man
I am the Tin Man
I am the Tin Man
I am the Tin Man
I am the Tin Man
I am the Tin Man

    My Interpretation

    Love this song, my thoughts on its lyrics are that it's about a person looking for a true friend/lover/whatever, a person to be close to and to trust. But after finding out the person he's talking about in this song is not the one, and the heart isn't there, he goes off to search for another person. Like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, he's looking for a heart.
