Lyrics:
There’s secrets I don’t tell ever to myself
I just keep moving
It’s like working on a building
with my eyes closed
Nothing’s improving
Day after day I stood in my own way
in front of my own door
Some things push you round so far
Knock you down so hard
It’s hard to get up anymore

But here is the thing that I’ve known
from the start
It don’t mean a thing
If you can’t feel your heart
You might
Lose everything
Spend years in the dark but
It isn’t the end
You’re just back at the start

Oh these endless skies of blue
Baby it’s just you
And all the umpires
Hoping nobody will notice
that you don’t know what you’re doing
Still you’re getting tired
It’s lonely in the outfield
But the ball won’t come to you
so you’re safe for now
So you won’t get to play but that’s okay
because you prayed to just get rained out

Here is the thing that I’ve known from the start
It don’t mean a thing if you can’t feel your heart
You might lose everything
Spend years in the dark
But it isn’t the end you’re just back at the start

Maybe it was all a dream
But the lights are coming up
And the rehearsal is over
Maybe nothing’s as it seems
The ground is moving all the time
Just like your drunk but you’re sober
Day after day you feel you let it slip away
But it was never very far
Don’t wanna stand on ground that’s shaking
But the earth is always quaking
Making buildings and tearing them apart

But here is the thing that I’ve know
from the start
It don’t mean a thing if you can’t feel your heart
You might lose everything
Spend years in the dark
But it isn’t the end you’re just back at the start
