Lyrics
I want to come over, look into your eyes
Wash away your tears
'Cause now the party's over
Lying their inside, living with your fears.
Ooh you, you're the fortunate one but you,
Never paid for your place in the sun, now you
Realize what I was on about, when I
Said that life ain't fair.
I want to come over, look into your eyes
Wash away your tears
Now the party's over, lying there inside
Living with your fears.
Oh you never knew so much rage, but it's
A little late for your coming of age, now you
Realize what all the rest of us do, kinda
Had this coming to you.
I want to come over, look into your eyes
Wash away the tears
Now the party's over, why are you surprised it's
Not like it appears
Oh you, you're the fortunate one, but you
Never paid for your place in the sun, now you
Realize what I was on about, when I
Said that life is hard
(next time you'll believe me)
I want you to come over
Look into my eyes, tell what you see.
Now the party's over, it's time you realized
You'd be safe with me. (repeat)
