about

Thank you and goodnight

lyrics

I won't make the same mistake twice
I'll make it again and again
Don't come to me for advice
Don't come to me to make friends
Cos I like the sound of the sea
The waves of fortune and truth
The games of passion and folly
Not limited exclusively to youth

With heartache comes clarity
With falling comes gravity
With truth comes disparity
With heartache comes clarity

I'm trying hard to adapt
I'm working on being me
Not knowing how to react
Not knowing how to be free
Now I'm not a man who is strong
And I have been known to cry
And I'm occasionally wrong

I'm gonna pack my bags
Raise my head
Ignore my lessons
Then I'll spread
my loving, giving, foolish arms
And fly

With heartache comes clarity
With falling comes gravity
With truth comes disparity
With heartache comes clarity

With heartache comes clarity
With falling comes gravity
With truth comes disparity
With heartache comes clarity

I'm gonna pack my bags
Raise my head
Ignore my lessons
Then I'll spread
my loving, giving, foolish arms
And fly
