|
Under the curtains the exit sign glows |
|
Go now and no one will know |
|
If you try later it may be too late |
|
Don't read the lines and get |
|
Lost in the light on the stage |
|
CHORUS: Two lovers standing hand in hand |
|
Powerless to choose |
|
I's are dotted, stars are crossed |
|
Alone against the muse |
|
It may look enticing |
|
But don't walk that line |
|
That's what they want you to try |
|
If you go chasing her spark in the night |
|
Don't call my name when they're |
|
Laughing and you're in the fire |
|
Isn't there anything that we can do |
|
For a friend? (aren't you listening?) |
|
Choking on pride, unable to think |
|
With his head (can't you hear us?) |
|
We see the big picture, we know the way |
|
It will end (oh well I guess) |
|
That sometimes we have to let go |
|
There's but one way for water to flow |
|
So just sit back and enjoy the show |
|
The ashes have settled |
|
Pawns have been played |
|
What was your part in the game? |
|
The house is now silent |
|
What was your lot? |
|
Did you rise up with the curtain or |
|
Fall for the plot? |
