lyrics

It's been a while since you've stepped out.
You've forgotten what it's all about.
All the nights out on the round-about, for what?

And now the same faces are there, though they've never held such icy stares.
Makes you wonder why they'd even care so much?

You'll go home painfully alone.
You're asking yourself, "what went wrong?", but there's nothing now that can be done.
The book is closed.
That's just how some stories go.

They're over before you even know.

It's been a while since you've stepped out.
You've forgotten what it's all about.
All the nights out on the round-about, for what?

Some momentary likeness of something that you once knew and loved? Something you never knew enough about?
You'll go home painfully alone.
You're asking yourself, "what went wrong?", but there's nothing now that can be done.
The book is closed.
That's just how some stories go.

They're over before you even know.

You'll go home painfully alone.
You're asking yourself, "what went wrong?", but there's nothing now that can be done.
The book is closed.
That's just how some stories go.

They're over before you even know. Before you know...
