Lyrics
V1
What is the first sign
That your life?s overflowing
And how do you know
When you?ve reached the end
V2
Struggling between
Instinct and reason
If you?d only called me
Would?ve known you had a friend
CHORUS
Going down slowly
And keeping to yourself
Life as a closed book
Means you end up on the shelf
Unread
Unread
V3
You always were
Just a little bit rock ?n roll
A peaceful protagonist
Who?d seen the thick and thin
V4
It was hard for you wasn?t it
Unlucky in love
But the love was all around you
You just had to let it in
CHORUS
Going down slowly
And keeping to yourself
Life as a closed book
Means you end up on the shelf
Unread
Unread
V5
Good times, you knew them
Friends, you chose them one by one
But you were a closed book
And the final chapter?s done
CHORUS
Going down slowly
And keeping to yourself
Life as a closed book
Means you end up on the shelf
Unread
