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
