Stay, calm your nerves, or we’ll fall
Never recover, never pause.
State the facts, all’s unknown
No one’s been this far before
I’ve never loved somebody more
I’ve never followed someone blindly
So add my number to the score
Leave everything that was behind me
Please change your mind, there’s still time
All their warnings, felt like lies
This is real, but this isn’t love
This is madness, I’m undone
I felt the walls seal me in
I heard the way out close behind me
Trapped like a prisoner in my skin
Flying towards the future blindly
This time we may never come down
This time we may never touch the ground
Sweet distant ground
Distant home
I am nowhere
I’m alone

Sweet-talk your lies into my ear with your secret spin
But know that I won’t give in again
Know that I won’t give in again
Flash all your magic your surprises are nothing new
And now that I won’t give in again
Know that I won’t give in again
You had your chance
You’re something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
something that I shouldn’t believe
Hold my attention for a moment and then let go
And know that I won’t give in again
Know that I won’t give in again
Stay where you are
You’re something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
something that I shouldn’t believe
We saw a future without flaw
But now I see you for what you are
For something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
something that I shouldn’t believe
Something that I shouldn’t believe, you are
You’re something that I shouldn’t believe

We left the weather behind
They said that we would never make it
We showed our metal in spades
We made democracy a favourite
That score was settled
That score was settled days ago
Don’t try and set it aside
Don’t try and set it aside
Just one small step and we’ll make it right
But I cannot say it’s worth the price
Just one small step and we’ll make it right
But I cannot say it’s worth the fight
We left our troubles behind
They left they’re secrets in the open
They need someone to fight
We prayed and nothing ever happened
That score was settled
That score was settled days ago
We won the race in the sky
We won the race in the sky
Just one small step and we’ll make it right
But I cannot say it’s worth the price
Just one small step and we’ll make it right
But I cannot say it’s worth the fight
You never said oh when you made it
Oh when you made it
It would be over

Stand up and make your case
I want another thrill
Stir up the discontent
I wanna see what you’ve got
Behind that trick up your sleeve
Shrouded in mystery
You said that we’d go back
You told me we’d go back
Fall down and fade away
Do you really wanna see me fall
Fall down and fade away
Do you really wanna se me fall
You promised so much more
than you could ever fill
You sent a firm goodbye
I wanna see what you’ve got
Behind that money you spent
Behind that flash of light
You’re days are numbered still
Our days are numbered too
Fall down and fade away
Do you really wanna see me fall
Fall down and fade away
Do you really wanna see me fall
I’m already, I’m already home
I’m already I’m already home
I’m already I’m already home
This was your final chance
So go and walk away

I’ve never seen you before
The way that I see you now
Swirl in a mist of phantom’s sweet kiss
You were older than I but my charge
Surrounded by that blazing smoke
I’ll keep you safe
And swear I’ll do you no wrong
I meant no harm, I caused you pain
You bear those scars
Like something I can never live down
Truly I’m jealous of you
Pure unabashed, unashamed
Give me one chance to erase my mistakes
Would you trust me again if I tried?
I would have broken your heart
I would have broken your heart
Surrounded by that blazing smoke
I’ll keep you safe
And swear I’ll do you no wrong
I meant no harm, I caused you pain
You bear those scars
Like something I can never live down
You bear those scars
Like something I can never live down
You bear those scars
Like something I cannot
Don’t say a word; don’t say a word let’s take this in
Don’t say a word; don’t say a word let’s take this in
Don’t say a word; don’t say a word let’s take this in
Don’t say a word; don’t say a word let’s take this in
