Lyrics

Well it's not far, but it's a long way
I got words, not a lot to say
But I'm moving fast so get our of my way
Seek and you shall find - ain't that what they say?

I know I should have known by now
that the things that we do will come back to haunt us somehow
But I'm learning more and more and more each day
that the moment not siezed quickly melts away...

Maybe I could find a better way
or a better game to play
Maybe we could agree
that the world doesn't turn too easily, not for the likes of you and me

I've seen that look on your face before
and it's as closed and locked and bolted as a safehouse door.
And it brings me down that I can't get through
if you wore my shoes I guess you'd think so too...

Maybe I should find a different kind of friend
that won't drive me 'round the bend
Maybe, we should agree
that the world doesn't turn too easily, not for the likes of you and me

Maybe I should find a better way
a better way to start my day
Baby, we should agree
that the world doesn't turn too easily, not for the likes of you and me

But I'm the moth, while you're the flame
so I burn my wings again and again and again
And I think I know that you can feel my pain
but still nothing's changed
you shine on just the same...

So maybe I could find gentler things to say
when we dogs have had our day
Baby, we should agree
that the world never turned too easily, not for the likes of you and me
