Lyrics

Up late again

I go downstairs and put the morning coffee on

Just a day like any other

With no warning of the things to come

Come back upstairs to see you bathing in the early light

Your morning smile still sleepy as you wash away the night

We saw ourselves this way forever

Young and strong

Now the mirror cracks and we see so clearly

See that we were wrong

And so here's where we begin

With the love of those whose love surrounds

And the enemy, the enemy within

Lying where I fall

I feel so scared I hardly breathe

I can feel your tears and feel your fears

Feel you reaching out to me

Clinging on

Want so much to make this go away

Surely this can't happen here

On such a very ordinary day

We found ourselves this way together

Holding on

To the splinters of a vision that we'd built our lives upon

And so here's where we begin

With the love of those whose love surrounds

And the enemy, the enemy within

Sleep now

You can sleep now

There's no need to be afraid

We're here to help

We can take away the pain

Just let it slip away

We know it hurts just let it go

And after all

And in the end

There's always us

Wake up, wake up

You must fight this sleep

Don't slip away

We need you here

You're sinking way too deep

Remember all the plans we made

The things we said we'd do

Wake up, wake up

I know it hurts but please don't go

And after all

And in the end

There's only us

Only us

Remember us

There's only usI'm still here

This is no miracle, no slick romance

This is real

A mind made up, no going back

Alone we hold our breath

It's nearly time

And silently I pray that it's not mine

I pray that it's not mine

When I was a young man dreaming as a young man dreams

I imagined breaking hearts, a hero in my own mind

This is where it ends, those young man's fantasies

If this is growing up we must be so old now

Now the stage is set and the theatre's open

Helpless as an infant we are

Everything I thought I knew blown out like cobwebs

Held up by the strength in you

It's our time now

Our time, our time

So this is where the chapter ends

Uncursed and mellow, name of the world

I'm taking stock of what I have

And I'll never take for granted that

Without the strength, without the love

There wouldn't be a now at all

I would have fallen, given in, lay down

Before the enemy will end

The enemy will end

The enemy will end
