[Verse 1] When the brain is saying no, but the heart is saying yes You don’t listen to your feelings As you both stand there undressed When gravity is pulling, at the flesh upon your bones You take every chance your given As you stand beneath your comb Then you think about computers, and your favourite football team And you hope to keep your end up (hope you keep your end up) To fulfil her every dream [Chorus] The moon is on your pillow And her voice is like a song The words sound so familiar But you may have got them wrong It’s the love that wе were born with, the lovе that made us cry I can only watch in wonder, at the world that passed me by [Verse 2] When the cradle rocks so gently, and your friends stop coming round You retreat into the sofa, as the late nights wear you down Now the music's in the background, as your hair is getting trimmed On the salad and the sushi thinking Hey you look so prim But the quality is weakened, by the hours that you spend Trying to build a million bridges (build a million bridges) That you know you’ll never mend [Chorus] Is it fatal are you happy Can your family take the strain On the edge of sweet existence With your fingers in the flame With your feet up on the table You can watch the seconds fly Do you feel as if your living, in a world that passed you by [Verse 3] All the drugs and all the drinking, all the tours around the world Every heart I have invaded, every precious little pearl When you travel all this distance, do you ever think you’ve stopped Even when your destination, isn’t where you thought you’d drop It’s a journey of a lifetime, on a jet stream of release I’m just happy to be breathing now my chances have in-creased [Chorus] For a day that’s filled with promise For a day that’s full of soul Where the boundaries are not broken by A challenge or a goal It’s a spiritual journey it keeps me so alive I’m no longer chasing shadows, in a the world that passed me by
