Lyrics
You said to me you'd never be afraid,
You said you'd steal away another day,
but all these foolish compromises whirling out and back again
these wayward circumstances...(__)
And we can face our old mistakes
and freely shed our fears away
And all my foolish compromises breaking forth and back again
these wayward circumstances out of sync with tidal sands
Foolish compromises made with tremor-weakened hands
These painful circumstances, yelling through the fog and unable to listen. Banging through the halls...
And we have never been the same,
With dreams and hopes now rearranged,
And mooted compromises made alright with passing days,
blatant circumstances counterpoint to lunar phase
These foolish compromises made with our best poker face,
inevitable circumstances, yelling through the fog and unable to listen, yelling through the fog and unable to listen....
