Is knowing all the words to say
Enough to keep the pain away?
Does doing all the right things
Grant you the embrace of anyone
Or anything?
Long nights to guide us out of this mess
Dark nights to save us from opening our eyes
Long nights to keep our lovers at arm's length
Long nights for falling endlessly
Endlessly, endlessly
Is knowing all the words to say
Enough to keep the pain at bay?
Does doing all the right things
Amount to anything?
Oh anything? Anything?
I go forth from my house to all the quiet things
I go forth into the light of the dream with nothing to hide
Long nights to guide us out of this mess
Dark nights to save us from opening our eyes
Long nights to keep our lovers at arm's length
Long nights for falling endlessly
Endlessly, endlessly
