Fragments on the sea, birds of prey above

All that lies beneath, no longer what is was
A G A
It changed, why can't we relate
[Verse 2]
D G
Shadows from the deep, the thoughts we're afraid of
D G
Secrets that we keep, the surface of our love
A G A
And hate, why can't we relate
G A G A
With oursevles with what we open up when it's too late

What we used to be, what we will become

Worlds we cannot see, breakin up by one
A G A G A
by one, slowly we fell under a spell, one by one
G A
Slowly we wake up
[Verse 4]
D G
Fragments of a scene, from a distant stage undone
D G
Little time machine, messages of love
A G A
And hate, why can't we relate
G A G A
With ourselves with what we open up when it's too late
