No, you can't beat me
At my own game
Oh, you want it all
To stay the same
I love you, still I must get goin'
It worked until we did some growin'
Who can deny the truth the longest
Lets not let it come to that
No, you were not
Shunted down slack's lane
Oh, you're not tied up
Here comes the train
The tracks feel safe because you know 'em
You cannot stop the whistle from blowin'
And if you stay, it's gonna hurt much worse
You'll still be left behind
All there is left to want
From this last kiss
Words couldn't hold
Even if we spoke
Oh, you hope some things
Won't ever die
No, you won't put on
Your suit and tie
It's still a funeral, you know it
You may not cry, you may not show it
But here is poetry
A vein of ore
Uncovered by the storm
All there is left to want
From this last kiss
Words couldn't hold
Even if we spoke
Shot in the dark
Missed it by a mile
Still left a mark
Couldn't blame us for trying
