Trying for something

Or should that be someone?

I made the arrangement

As good as I can



Started with nothing

Or could that be no-one?

Reached the agreement

It's out of my hands



I was responsible but that's not for me to say

There was a time when it meant more anyway



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

I'm losing my balance

I'm ready to fall



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

Typical



Moving in closer

Or taking advantage?

Suddenly older

But never so young



Someone is holding my hand as a hostage before I've begun



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

I'm losing my balance

I'm ready to fall



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

Typical



[MIDDLE 8]



I was responsible but that's the last thing on my mind

If it was critical

Typical



Started with nothing

It's now or it's never

Learning the language

With nothing to say



Somebody's leaving

It's goodbye forever

The evening is over

Let's call it a day



You can't be sure that I won't enter in your plans

I can't confirm this is totally out of my hands



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

I'm losing my balance

I'm ready to fall



Trying to get something

From out of this nothing

Typical
