[Verse 1]

I've seen the race, i've seen it all

I've seen the writing on the wall

I've seen the love and all it breaks

And all the heartache i could take



The air inside is white and sweet

It covers up what it defeats

At the sea the demons wail

They crush your hands before you fail

[Chorus 1]

Oh, come on, surprise me. [x2]



It's over, everyone

I can't call the rising sun



Oh and i was almost loved. [x4]

Oh and we were almost loved. [x2]



[Verse 2]

I've seen the fear behind the hate

The feral need that cannot wait

How every hope would fail and fall

With a diamond praise behind it all



The struggle leans and then it breaks

Look at the things we never make

The sun that sets beneath the tides

And why i'll love you til you die



[Chorus 2]

Oh, come on, surprise me. [x2]



It's over, everyone

I can't call the setting sun



Oh and i was almost loved. [x4]

Oh and we were almost loved. [x2]



[Outro]

It's over, everyone

I can't call the setting sun



Oh and i was almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved
