From the recording Surfacing the Wreck
Lyrics
Bring your ambitions down to earth
Back round to us in time for the BEAUTIFUL BREAKUP RIDE
We see it all now, see it on our faces
The chances that we’ve blown this time
And we wait for the moment
That special moment when we change our minds
It’s not you, it’s not me
It’s not easy to see when you come round this time
(Braver than ever)
Put your faith into me, I’ll let you down easily
It’s what we’re meant to find
(Braver than ever)
The marks you left have stayed, the monuments you made—
Are there any other kinds?
(Are there any other kinds?)
And I can play both parts, I know the words by heart
Watch it all come apart
(Until you stop you’ll never start)
So here we go now, down the LIFETIME BREAKUP RIDE
Down the long slide in time for the wounded to draw you near
We catch a glimpse of rising wreck in the outbound tide
And you don’t have to go on home, but you can’t stay here.
It’s not you, it’s not me
It’s not easy to see when you come round this time
(Braver than ever)
Put your faith into me, I’ll let you down easily
It’s what we’re meant to find
(Braver than ever)
The marks you left have stayed, the monuments you made—
Are there any other kinds?
(Are there any other kinds?)
And I can play both parts, I know the words by heart
Watch it all come apart
(Until you stop you’ll never start)
BRAVER THAN EVER
BRAVER THAN EVER
BRAVER THAN EVER
It’s not you, it’s not me
It’s not easy to see when you come round this time
(Braver than ever)
Put your faith into me, I’ll let you down easily
It’s what we’re meant to find
(Braver than ever)
The marks you left have stayed, the monuments you made—
Are there any other kinds?
(Are there any other kinds?)
And I can play both parts, I know the words by heart
Watch it all come apart
BRAVER THAN EVER
