For every hour we've wasted,
|
Pretendin' we're indifferent.
|
We could be knowin' what we need.
|
Like wadin' through the vagueness,
|
Of sinking where I used to think.
|
I'd lie, the way is never kind.
|
|
But who can you really believe?
|
When all you hear is lies.
|
But just face it you and me
|
Let it ride or die
|
|
Oh, let us see the big picture.
|
Ain't no use denyin' who we are,
|
When we've come this far.
|
|
And I've been guilty of replacin'
|
My trust in you with words that broke you down,
|
With eyes that taste around.
|
I forgot what I was chasin',
|
But ran so far, I left myself behind,
|
I'm standin' out of time
|
I know there's a reason to be out on the edge,
|
With my face below the tide.
|
But the plays never over 'til the actor says
|
Thank You and good night.
|
|
Oh, now I see the big picture.
|
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
|
When we've come this far
|
|
But don't even think about it,
|
I won't give up on you.
|
Don't ask me to forget what we've been through.
|
Yeah, we look back on the years of fame,
|
We won't go through that again.
|
|
We won't be the ones standin' in the rain.
|
|
Now forget all the lies I said,
|
They never came from the heart,
|
Forget the tears we've shed.
|
Now here comes the hardest part
|
|
Oh, now I see the big picture.
|
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
|
When we've come this far.
|
|
I won't give any lectures.
|
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
|
When we've come this far.
|
Oh, when we've come this far.
|
|
...mmmm...
|
Nobody said it would be easy.
|
How could we know it'd be so hard?
|
Oh no. no
|
But we've come this far.
|
Look at what we've done.
|
Look how far we've come,
|
And a long way to go.
|
Lookin' back at all the pain.
|
We won't go through that again.
|
Oh no
|
|
[guitar interlude]
|
|
Yeah!
|
Ooooohhhh
|
Never never gonna change it.
|
Oh yeah
|
Never never never change it.
