lyrics

I’ve been right,
I’ve been wrong,
I’ve walked away,
I’ve played along.
The air is thick
But the world is wide
And you are the reason why.

In this dirty castle
The walls are closing in
Would save us a lot of hassle
If they’d hurry up the end.

I’ve been right,
I’ve been wrong,
I’ve walked away,
I’ve played along.
The air is thick
But the world is wide
And you are the reason why.

I’ve met a million people
And 5 or 6 met me
I’ve heard a million reasons
A dream didn’t come to be.

I’ve been right,
I’ve been wrong,
I’ve walked away,
I’ve played along.
The air is thick
But the world is wide
And you are the reason why.

And I know you,
And you know me.
To think we almost passed
Like ships at sea.

I was just a baby
When you walked through this mess
I’d seen the face of Hades
I came back unimpressed.
But I knew my love was coming!
I knew my love was true!
I heard her engine running!
It was telling us what to do!

I’ve been right,
I’ve been wrong,
I’ve walked away,
I’ve played along.
The air is thick
But the world is wide
And you are the reason why.
