Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You must reveal
An infinite sorrow
Show what you're made of
Then what you're afraid of
You leave to leave
The comfort of shadows
(the shadows)
The places you came from
The troubles you played on
Out on the landing
Leaves are descending
Summer is ending
And daylight is blue
Is that you rising up?
[Verse 2]
Flying in the face of love
And now you set your mind to run
In circles around everyone
Flying in the face of love
Thinking enough is enough
Before you get too involved
[Verse 3]
Like this isn't real
It's just a feeling
That gets in the way sometimes
Every distraction
You can imagine
Like a disclaimer
It's turning you off
Always turning you off
[Verse 4]
Flying in the face of love
Now you set your mind to run
In circles around everyone
Flying in the face of love
And dreaming of the one you lost
Wake up to barking dogs
[Verse 5]
Were you thinking of her when you wrote that song?
Sing it to me, your mysterious life I'm reminded of
Think about her and it feels like a new sensation, then it's gone
[Verse 6]
Flying in the face of love
How much longer will you run?
In circles around everyone
Flying in the face of love
And dreaming of the one you lost
Wake up to barking dogs
[Verse 7]
Flying in the face of love
Flying in the face of love
Flying in the face of love
All the years are catching up
But how does it feel to be wrong?
