some go down fighting
some just sweep it to the side
some escape, but me - i'll never make it out alive
but it's my choice
it's the position i assume
these days i try to catch the moments as they pass
but that don't get you back...
cold and lonely
it's the first day of december
the things i can't forget inform the things i half remember
old box of tickets in the corner of my room
i draw the blue to black across the union jack
but that don't get you back...
there's the tide
i see it's rolling home again
i know the game, it always leaves, returns and leaves again
it got me once but now i'm just about immune
but sunlight through the cracks of cloudy, tinted glass
the fire as it crackles - it almost makes me laugh
these moments go so fast
these moments go so fast
i watch them as they pass
but that don't get you back
that don't get you back...
some go down fighting
some just sweep it to the side
some escape, but me - i'll never make it out alive
