When you can't win for losing
And the beggars start choosing the chaos in your head
Calls the cracks to start showing
All knowing, all glowing with light of the
Dying to raise the dead, oh-oh
You're a world away, but you're still the same
I know by your heart and I will call you by your name
And it's a long way from the crack to the break
You know that I remember everything
Steady yourself and your tumbleweed words
Be a street corner preacher, or just feed the birds
But don't hold to yourself
With hard mortar and stone
Be a rubber band man
Make the water your bones
Dying just to live now
You're a world away, but you're still the same
I know by your heart and I won't call you by your name
And it's a long way from the crack to the grave
You know that I remember everything
When I said: Forever
You said: Get back in the car
Nothing lasts forever, babe
You know it breaks my heart
And I'll call you anything that you'd like
I am free and I'm able to call you the second that you
Dying just to live now
You're a world away
But you're still the same
I know you by your heart
And I will call you by your name
And it's a long way from the crack to the break
You know that I remember everything
When I said: Forever
You said: Get back in the car
Nothing lasts forever, babe
You know it breaks my heart
You're a world away
But you're still the same
You know that I remember everything
New ink on your skin
Red lips in the dark
Nothing lasts forever, babe
You know it breaks my heart
Put a shiver on your skin
Do your hair in the car
If nothing lasts forever, babe
Then can we make a start?
