Oh to discover, the swell and the break
Lost in the eyes of another, this we cannot easily fake
So I step with my right foot, and approach with my left
I admit that I'm intoxicated, but I wait with bated breath
Cause we're oh so self-assured
Come draw the curtains back like we once did before
We set alight to ground, and ran towards the waves
Don't try to catch me now
Save you breath for your delicate frame
Oh if I'd only known all the things that we'd soon throw away
So we whispered of nonsense, but we shouted out pure
And in these we find truths we admit that we lost many times before
And I met you in moonlight, but I found you in day
And if words lead to actions, these actions ensured that they could not stay
Cause we're oh so self-assured
Come draw the curtains back like we once did before
We set alight to ground, and ran towards the waves
Don't try to catch me now
Save you breath for your delicate frame
Oh if I'd only known all the things that we'd soon throw away
We made our beds to lie in the ground
On the embers of hearts that we'd burnt out before
Cry out into the wind and leave now
Using words that we know that we shouldn't know
And there's oh so much to take
So I'll take it a little more
Go now and hide away
Set you sails and your heart for a different shore
We set alight to ground, and ran towards the waves
Don't try to catch me now
Save you breath for your delicate frame
Oh if I'd only known all the things that we'd soon throw away
