It took you so damn long Who'd have thought this could be wrong? You thought this was everything you'd dreamed But your past was left unclean When you finally got the snake You let it bite, you let it take Sometimes dreams are born to die Sometimes birds they never fly You spent so damn long trying to find it It never quite came to light You spent so damn long trying to find them The sun set into night Now you'll start again with one And you'll pray for the rising sun One more chance and then you're gone Fade into the night Sometimes birds they never fly You put your heart into it all You broke your body from the fall But you'll get back on your feet For all the world you're meant to meet Seven years you looked the same Nothing risked and nothing gained Death surrounds those that cry Sometimes birds they never fly You spent so damn long trying to find it It never quite came to life You spent so damn long trying to find them The sun set into night Now you'll start again with one And you'll pray for the rising sun One more chance and then you're gone Fade into the night Sometimes birds they never fly
