Lyrics: It was often talked about It was often raised But nothing was ever done about it
To hear the way they talked about it No one could be saved But nothing was ever done about it
Shall I take back everything I've ever said And live my whole life in silence instead?
It was oversimplified It was underthought And nothing was ever done to stop it
Everything was fortified by All the lies we bought And nothing was ever done to stop it
Shall I take back everything I've ever said And live my whole life in silence instead?
Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations)
There was a time When a crime was a crime Now I think I'm losing my mind
Or taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard Taking it all too hard
Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations? All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations
Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations)
Shall I take back everything I've ever said (Shall I take back all my attacks? All of my accusations?) And live my whole life in silence instead? (All my mistrust - we never discussed anyone's reservations)
Maybe you're right Maybe you're right Maybe you're right But I don't think so
Maybe you're right Maybe you're right Maybe you're right But I don't think so About the song: This is such an amazing song. Steve and Ed's voices meld so well together here. It really makes me think of an old Beatles song. (I think the chorus has the same tune to one of Paul McCartney's solo songs.) The background music starts out soft and delicate but then moves into something more robust. It usually takes me awhile to really get into new BNL albums. This song was a hit for me from the first listen.
