Intro

Verse 1

 Take the forward path. Have a big slice of the city

 Get the upper hand while you're still pretty

 But you know what we're like. No, they will never respect you

 The way you want them to respect you.

 I think it's very well understood..

Chorus

 That I... I'm gonna hold on to you

 I'm gonna hold on to you

You, you

Repeat chorus instrumental

Verse 2

 Your cracked up shell. A dead opera house

 You give yourself to them now in a game of cat and mouse

 From the storyboard to the bedroom scene

 Through eleven World Wars, other people you have been

Chorus x3

Verse 3

 I can come to terms with slowly going mad

Things we used to fear in the dark and whatever lies beyond us

 But I've come to resemble my own shadow

 As it falls into the sidewalk I'm no longer anyone I know

Bridge

No one here reminds me of you

 Yet I see no one else

 On the crowded sidewalk

Repeat chorus to fade
