With the shape of days to come
Why shoulder off the crowd
Why be the only one
You called it off; You said it's lack of life
What's a way to cut the air, what a way to spend your night
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
Moving forward into awkward light
Ashamed of what you are
At peace cos you're all right
Long live redemption, Live it hard and well
We raise our glass to you
From us all "Farewell"
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
All for a better life
It's bleak and it's black and white
All for the closing line
We watch a life pass by
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
Why shoulder off the crowd
Why be the only one
You called it off; You said it's lack of life
What's a way to cut the air, what a way to spend your night
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
Moving forward into awkward light
Ashamed of what you are
At peace cos you're all right
Long live redemption, Live it hard and well
We raise our glass to you
From us all "Farewell"
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
All for a better life
It's bleak and it's black and white
All for the closing line
We watch a life pass by
All along, all along
Your intention was to run
You couldn't be somebody else
You longed to be someone
All your colours running off
And you feel it giving up
You couldn't be somebody else
When the miracle came undone
