Lyrics
If you told them
Somewhere in between 2 am and 4
In a candle-light conversation
Glows an ember in the abyss of your mind
It?s a knowing that?ll burn to touch
And you don?t want to play with fire
Like the flicker in the flame
You continue to play the game
Somewhere in the haze of the morning light
In a quiet suburban bedroom
Float the remnants of a faded foggy dream
From the depths of the mother flood
Struggling with separation
And the power of the sun
Do you drown or do you run?
What if it were true?
What is there to do?
And anyway, who would believe you
If you told them
Somewhere in the middle of the afternoon
On a crowded and noisy pavement
You are stopped ? by a shiver up your spine
It?s the hands of the warrior
Presenting you a plate of choices
But you?d rather live the lie
So you push the plate aside
What if it were true?
What is there to do?
And anyway, who would believe you
If you told them
If you told them
