Those that try anything once Should we care about the only ones? All the time that I need is never quite enough All the time that I have is all that’s necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're livin' too fast You've got to cope with the past You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby, you're flying too high No one talks About the war On my block Or by the shore All alone in a room Do you want what I want, too? All the time in the world Is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're livin' too fast You've got to cope with the past You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby, you're flying too high You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby, you're flying too high Don’t get on your phone Don’t reach for the door You know the answer that you’re looking for You’re livin’ a lie You’re livin’ a lie You’re livin’ too fast You've got to cope with the past You never ask why You never ask why You’re livin’ a lie Baby, you’re flying too high
