Lyrics
One more time, in my mind, I go over it - what she said to me.
I was blind, by design, did she really thing that I'd be aggrieved?
All the same, it's a game, we see the things we want to believe
while trying our best to deceive
Now its seventeen seconds to midnight, so it ends this way
dancing into the moonlight of a brand new day
Seventeen seconds to midnight, I turn my back and I'm gone
searching for a better way before the new day dawns.
All the while, makes me smile, all the things that she couldn't see
When she's gone, doing wrong, her sisters doing wrong here with me.
All the same, its a game, she sees the things she wants to believe
while trying her best to deceive
Now its seventeen seconds to midnight, so it ends this way
dancing into the moonlight of a brand new day
Seventeen seconds to midnight, I turn my back and I'm gone
searching for a better way before the new day dawns.
