Here you come again
Acting like a saviour
There you go again
Talking like a stranger

You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the distance
Off and running

But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

Looks like rain again
Feels like it's rained forever
Can't remember when
Don't remember whether
I ever really told you who I was
It must have been because, because, because

From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all

I fell between the bruises
And the red curtain call
I prayed you'd light the fuses
And we'd burn and torch it all
Long days journey into
Long nights journey out
Knee deep so deep within you
I kept and keep without

You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then I saw you in the mirror
Off and running

But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all

From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And I fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
