Lyrics
I don't want to be the one you loved
Wouldn't want to be the time you spent
Trying to tell the stars from the satellites
Make some plans., yea
So step into the water and dive in deep
Take your two heels and set them in
It doesn't have to be so hard
This is in our hands yea...
The truth never looked so good
Wearing out the wary hearted
The truth never looked so good
It's just these loose ends, loose ends, yea...
Everybody's looking to live in love
Searching for their perfect little fairy tale
And though dust will settle upon the ground
It'll still make sense yea...
So let's do something different in this age where such commitments never hold
And when it comes and it goes
Through the ebb and through the flow it will remain
Despite these loose ends loose ends yea...
Ohh...oh..ohh....oh
Scars will tell our stories and mistakes will make us wise
Hurricanes and tidal waves will batter us with time
The truth never looked so good
Wearing out the wary hearted
The truth never looked so good
IT's just these loose ends, loose ends, yea...
I'm gonna be good to you (x7)...
