The whole world collapsed But that was nothing new "I'm going home and straight to bed" Something else she'd never do Emptied her heart out in the foyer It always ends the same Now morning comes And she's sure she knows his name What was she thinking What was going through her mind Was it some grand plan That all went wrong Was she trying to soar Only to end up flying blind He walked down by the lake Watching the silence invade He remembered the river Where he used to wade And a friend who lived his life Hard fast and loose Some American show Taught him how to tie a noose What was he thinking What was going through his mind Was it some grand plan That all went wrong Was he hoping to soar Only to end up flying blind Bridge: Sometimes I say things I'd love to believe in With the best of intentions I just end up deceiving All these bold actions Made to look small Moving at full pace Pretending to stall (And) I thought careful steps Would fall safe and fall sure A gentle knock Would open a door Drawing a fine line Straight to her heart (but) With just one word She could blow it all apart What is she thinking What is going through her mind Is this my grand plan Slowly going wrong I was just trying to soar Only to end up flying blind
