Those numbers you know so well
Fall over yourself to sell
Turns out
you're
the only one
No wonder you never tell
But you go out with a song
And it only brings it home

However we doubt ourselves
It's all over when the light comes back
Sometimes I hardly know at all
The cover you always call
When you drag me through the walls
And I don't know where to crawl

Everything you love comes back to haunt you
Ever since the safety went from under you

It always comes out like that
No other is at your side
I'm searching your hands for a catch
And I'm staring out into the night
But it's only like you do
To treat me like a fool

Everything you love comes back to haunt you
Ever since the safety went from under you
Every turn you take it all comes back to you
Everyone will say they've got your back for you

I have tried -
I still try

To make it seem like rainbows and silver linings
I still read -
I still write
Into magazines
Does anyone listen - anyone


Cause it's like
Nobody can hear the crying through the walls
Cause nobody answers
And I'm like
Am I the only person breathing in the air
Does nobody else care


I have tried -
I have made
Multicoloured pictures of our lives
We've seen some times - like the day

Those waterfalls were falling before our eyes
Does anyone see - anyone

Feel young and freeWhen the sun shines above meThe sounds of the city fill my heart with joy and beautyFountains of champagne to celebrate the next dayMy generation’s full of optimismWhat does it take?What does it take to be here today?
