It's just a lie I guess

Working every hour that heaven sends

Just making sense of this

Never any wiser for the falls

And every time we get

Far away enough to see it clear

It comes right out at you

To pull the wonder out of everything

So hold it in your hand


And I'll just be curious to see now

How you'll make it by yourself

When your walking out ahead

Unaware of anything

And tomorrow as we're looking

Who the history books will blame

You'll be walking out ahead

Not caring anyway


Seven times removed

From the one's who thought they had it down

But don't it go to prove

Nothing cuts you like the lies of a friend

So hold it in your hands

'Cause you can't just switch it off


And I'll just be curious to see now

How you're going to make it by yourself

When you're walking out ahead

Unaware of anything

And tomorrow as we're looking

Who the history books will blame

You'll be walking out ahead not caring anyway

It's the perfect opening line

It's the perfect opening line

It's the perfect opening line


And I'll just be curious to see now

How you're going to make it by yourself

When there's everything to lose

And nothing left to win

And tomorrow as we're looking

Who the history books will blame

You'll be walking out ahead

Unaware of anything

And tomorrow as we're fighting

Over which way was the best

You'll be walking out ahead

Not caring anyway


It's the perfect opening line

It's the perfect opening line
