Lyrics
We have been driving without lights.
We have been walking over the line.
We have been talking out of turn.
We have been playing out of time.
Who am I to talk to the line?
Who am I to talk out of turn?
Who am I to talk of the light?
I just want to know if we can be right.
That's alright.
That's alright.
I want things back the way they were before.
That's alright.
That's alright.
I swear it don't matter any more.
Hold the mirror up to my face.
See you standing there in my place
Hold the mirror up to my heart.
I can see how I played my part.
Under the anger, under the fear,
I just wanted you to be near.
You offered me your hand in a dream.
The words you said I ain't never gonna hear.
That's alright.
That's alright.
I want things back the way they were before.
That's alright.
That's alright.
I swear it don't matter any more.
