Lyrics:
How can you be so certain
That you’re the one flirting with fire
If each choir needs preaching
And everyone’s reaching
Into their pockets to see what they’ve got
If not a lot has changed
But if everything’s changing
It’s plain to see you say
But no one sees face to face
Or eye to eye
This is not how it has to end
Who wants to be one step ahead
And first to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline
When it feels like it’s all closing in
All the lines we won’t cross
We bend instead
Well never mind all the noise going through your head
Because every time we talk we say
The same things that we’ve said
Never mind all the noise going through your head
How can I be so certain
That my first impressions are mine
If each morning I wake up
With circles around me that say
I got mine
I give in, I give up
It’s too much
Come on let’s give them hell
No why not love
You say it would be too hard
And there’s not enough
In this house of cards
Who wants to be
One step ahead
And first to the punchline
Just one step ahead
First to the punchline
When it feels like it’s all closing in
All the lines we won’t cross
We bend instead
Well never mind all the noise going through your head
Because every time we talk we say
The same things that were said
Every line we cross we say the same things that we said
Every time we try we play the same old games it’s all been said
Now never mind all the noise going through your head
