I want to believe, that you don't want to hurt noone,
and shadows fall behind, when you face the sun,
i can't be reached, but then your arms are so long,
and the band are saying, 'we'll try just one more song'.
You pull me closer, like you're pulling on a string,
i can't resist, i can't do anything,
and although freedom, is calling out my name
i'm breaking rules and you're doing the same.
I've always said, that i'm happy on my own,
i always said, that my heart is made of stone,
when i come home at night, no one's waiting there,
I tell my friends, that i don't really care.
tears are a comfort, but then they drag you down,
come away with me, and leave this dreary town,
on dying embers you bring a flicker to a flame,
but stop playing with me, playing your wicked game.
A hopeless case, but now i can believe,
you can heal the scars, i no longer have to bleed,
i need you now, as the shadows do grow long,
you draw me close, as the band plays one more song.
