We've heard the tales

Of the days that last forever

But the setting sun

Tells a story of its own



We like to think 

That our heroes live forever

But we find they're made of

Flesh and blood and bone



[chorus]

AS SOON AS YOU LET GO

AS SOON AS YOU BELIEVE

YOU FIND YOURSELF DEFENSELESS

TAKEN AND DECEIVED



We'd like to think

That this ship will sail forever

But the blowing wind

Can just as quickly die



We like to think

We can keep it all together

As it disintegrates

Right before our eyes



[chorus]
