When you wake up in the morning
With blood under your nails and eyes upon you
I won't say I told you
And if you wake to find yourself
Looking up at someone else inside you
I won't remind you

That you said "Never again, never again"

CHORUS
Won't you race me to the great unknown?
A place I've never been, never seen, never heard of
Won't you race me to the great unknown?
And if you win the race, save me a place
Unless he looks like Tony Curtis and treats you right.

Now it's time to let you go
I grit my teeth, we both know you'll say something
To ruin everything
And as the words run screaming from your mouth
Can't you feel it getting harder, and harder
And harder, and harder, oh

Never again, never again

CHORUS

You left me nothing
Oh, what have I got except my name?
You left me nothing
Nothing but the blame

"Betrayal's" such an ugly word
Let's just call it "moving on", a white lie
Among friends
And if one day I overheard
You're somewhere doing nothing I'll speak kindly, a white lie
Among friends

Never again, Never again

CHORUS

Won't you race me to...
I'll race you, too.

Phone calls... flowers
I wondered for hours
Just a mistake?
Or ten years too late?

Suddenly, you see so clearly
Everything you never said
Everything you should have seen but
Turned away instead

CHORUS
What if you had asked me
What if I was wrong?
What if you had blocked the door and begged me please
To carry on?
What if you gave 1-2-3-20 reasons
Why I shouldn't leave?
You couldn't push these walls apart far enough
To give me room to breathe

Sorry, shamefaced
Lonely and disgraced
But you'll change, just wait
Ten years too late

Once upon a time you sparkled
Like no one I'd ever met
Now that spark's a dim reflection
Of the TV set...

CHORUS

All those flowers
Dried up in hours
Not me, held on
Ten years too long

CHORUS

If you didn't know I'd be here in the morning
Would you say these words tonight?
If you didn't know I'd be here forever
Would you find the time to fight?

If you didn't know I'd keep nothing from you
Would you cover up and hide?
If you didn't say the hard, hard things sometimes
Would you wonder if I ever lied?

PRE-CHORUS
There once was a time when you knew none of this
It was easy, so easy
Everything's fixed with a smile and a kiss, we were free
But I promise you, promise you...

CHORUS
I couldn't sleep, if I couldn't
Tell that you believed these things
And tell you you're not wrong
And I swear, I swear
I could say nothing, you'd still know
Won't you tell me I'm not wrong
I'm not wrong

If you didn't know I trust you, no question
Would you sneak around for fun?
If you didn't know I'd give everything to you
Would you rob me blind and run

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

You've had years to learn
To hold it down and hope it goes
Away... but did it ever go away?
I say let it burn
I say let's shout its name
And let's watch the ashes blow away


If you didn't know I'd never keep a secret
Would you wonder who I really was?
If you didn't know I'd tell everything to you
What happens when you meet someone who does?

I'm Optional
Never thought I'd be
Replaceable
And still not want to leave

But once
You were warm
You were bright
Like the sun
and Oh Man, Oh Man You're Beautiful
Inevitable


Chorus:
I'll love you forever
I've loved you for years
I'll love you to pieces
I'll love you to tears

I'm Finding out
What I need to be
Alone and not alone
Ready to believe

And if
I could talk
You could hear
I could sing

I'm here, I'm here in front of you
It's possible


Chorus

Patience
Silence
Take so much time
That's me there quiet
That's me there waiting
One day
I might
Leave it all behind
If you stay closed tight
And push off just right


You're in the air
I'm tethered to the ground
A dot somewhere
Too distant to be found

The back
Of your mind
Is a sad
Place to find
Myself, my life, my anything
Everything
