| We stared at the sun, too long
|
| Until the shapes before our eyes
|
| Turned into the sun, in our eyes
|
| We lied to ourselves for awhile
|
| In our usual style
|
| I wish we could lie
|
| To ourselves again
|
| We made up our minds
|
| To lose and never once looked back
|
| We only looked back
|
| Just once
|
| We opened our hearts, it’s true
|
| But not to any of you
|
| Sold out of the myth
|
| Too soon
|
| And we tried, we tried with all our might
|
| We tore the playhouse down
|
| We ran headlong in our way
|
| We tried so hard
|
| We stared at the road ahead
|
| Closed our eyes and then
|
| Sped up to the turn, around the bend
|
| With nothing to lose, we lost
|
| Suffered every cost
|
| It still causes pain to recall
|
| And we tried, we tried with all our might
|
| We tore the playhouse down
|
| We ran headlong in our way
|
| We tried so hard
|
| And we tried, we tried with all our might
|
| We tore the playhouse down
|
| We ran headlong in our way
|
| We tried so hard
|
| And we tried, we tried with all our might
|
| We tore the playhouse down
|
| And we ran headlong in our way
|
| We tried so hard
|
| Refused to let go
|
| Of the air
|
| There was something there
|
| Sparks flown with gold
|
| A million strong
|
| We ran four red lights in a row
|
| I’m still flushed from the glow
|
| I’m down on the road
|
| Back home
|
| We stared at the sun, too long
|
| Until the shapes before our eyes turned back into the sun, into the sun in our
|
| eyes
|
| We lied to ourselves for awhile
|
| In our usual style
|
| Now I wish we could ride, we wish we could lie to ourselves again
|
| And we tried, we tried, we tried with all our might
|
| We tore the playhouse down
|
| We ran headlong, headlong in our way…
|
| We tried so hard…
|
| We tried so hard…
|
| Yeah we tried so hard… |
