Album: The Moment
Like a foggy mirror,
Where receptions blurred
And things could stand to be clearer
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye
(Chorus)
If I could be the man on your shoulder
A God as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,
Of happy endings
Close your eyes, re-write the story,
A new beginning
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us,
Are all shattered on the ground
Your defense,
You've done no wrong
And live life in innocence,
So how could they have looked you in the eye?
(Chorus)
If I could be the man on your shoulder
A God as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,
Of happy endings
Close your eyes, re-write the story,
A new beginning
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us,
Are all shattered on the ground
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down,
It's safe to say that all bets are off
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down,
Well it's time to play, it's hard to say
So bet all call
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us,
Are all shattered on the ground
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us,
Are all shattered on the ground
Shattered on the ground,
All the cards are down
Everything they told us
Has always been so wrong,
So wrong, so wrong
So wrong
