And you can't seem to stop digging this grave

'Cause you were only eighteen at the time

And I was holding up these streets just fine

Come on, oh, come on

Oh, darling I've been thinking about you

And you are thinking how much farther it was

Don't you just see what's happened?

That we never stay away, come on

Place me on your scene and lie fate

No, it wasn't just words

(No, it wasn't just words)

But day after day after day I called out

(I can barely see the...)

Place me on your scene and lie fate

No, it wasn't just words

(No, it wasn't just words)

Day after day after day I called out

(I can barely see the...)

Place me on your scene and lie fate

No, it wasn't just words

(No, it wasn't just words)

(Staring at the scenery)

Day after day after day I called out fate
