Lyrics

The way -- you struggle to your feet
When there's no one there to greet
That you wouldn't like to meet

Some way you stumble down the hall
When every object great and small
Can trip you up and make you fall

Away like your father's house of cards
Yet still you get up
Could be the night of your dreams

Take me to your heart
I'll give you every drop of me
There's nowhere I would rather be
All is vanity

You know it's just a start
When everything turns dark and greedy
The light is always there to see
Come and bear with me

Today you might find your king of hearts
A little worse off than you thought
In a place that you forgot

One day when you couldn't stand the pain
Locked your doors, quit the game
Hid your face and wished your shame

Away like your father's house of cards
Yet still you pick up
Could be the knight of your dreams
