Wake up with a stranger...it's not something you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men...
Could put it back together

You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do...to get...this...high

(repeat chorus)
And now alone in my room as it all begins again
Was I so wrong...why am I always so intense...
In this same place I sit, the same place as before
Well I came all the way here...just to watch you walk out that door

I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said as the truth and the truth only
Well it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face...because sometimes
You just fall from grace...sometimes...you just fall from grace

Maybe I am calmer now, maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up, maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive...
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive...
Again...just to make sure you survive...
