Standard (EADGBE)

With the shape of days to come,

 Why shoulder off the crowd, why be the only one

You called it off, you said its lack of life

 What a way to cut the air, what a way to spend your night

All along, all along, your intention was to run

 You couldn't be somebody else

 You longed to be someone,

  All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up

 You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone

Moving foward into awkward light

 Ashamed of what you are

 At peace 'cause you're all right

Long live redemption, live it hard and well

 We raise our glass to you

From us all 'Farewell'

All along, all along, your intention was to run

 You couldn't be somebody else

 You longed to be someone,

  All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up

 You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone

All for a better life

It's a bleak and black and white

All for a closing line

We watched a life pass by

All along, all along, your intention was to run

 You couldn't be somebody else

 You longed to be someone, (x3)

  All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up

 You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone
