I remember when we were young
It wasn't that long ago
By the quiet hum of the radio
We began this imbroglio
In the coffee shops and back room stalls
They talked of hope and change
Now pirates rule and puppets fool
A world going up in flames
And the species ran out of time
Not everyone survived
In the morning everything is clear
You and I we were hardly even here
I was meant for bigger things
I know this in my heart
I was meant to be a better man
But I didn't know when to start
Won't you give me another chance
Gamble on romance
Make a fresh start again
Maybe this time I will dance
Baby this time I will dance
Baby this time I will dance
You know some things never change
And I know I've got myself to blame
I'm trying to make this moment last
It's flying by just way too fast
Brace yourself my bleeding heart
Gonna try to outrun the past
And the fever breaks at dawn
In an instant it was gone
Never to return again
And I know I've got myself to blame
