Story Behind The Song
After the guitar player totally absorbed himself in "Run" by the band Snow Patrol, he wanted a weighty song with that droning, quarter note feel. When the chorus of "Never gonna let you down" came out of nowhere, we knew we had a winner. This song goes over extremely well live.

Lyrics
Reality

V1.
I say black you say white
I want darkness you want light
I want time you want space
I go slow you want to race
Do you think we might agree
In this lifetime hopefully
Or do you think we stand a chance
Pre Ch.
You live in one reality and I live in another
And I could wade through fantasy but I don?t need the trouble
No matter how we disagree I know you?ll come around
You?re never gonna live this down
Ch.
I?m never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down again
I?m never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna let you down again
V2.
I say wrong, you say right
I want day while you want night
I want time you want space
I keep up while you set the pace
Do you think we might agree
In this lifetime hopefully
Or do you think we stand a chance
Pre Ch.
Ch.
Br.
Translucent
Life is lucid
You can see right through me now
Oh won?t somebody save me
Or bring me back somehow
Ch.
