  A change of 

     
speed,    a ch

ange of style,
             
  A change of 

     
scene,    with

 no regrets,
            
  A chance to 

     
watch,    admi

re the distanc

e,
             
  Still occupi

   
ed,     though

 you forget.
            
  Different co

              
lours, differe

   
nt shades,
              
Over each mist

             
akes were made

             
. I took the b


lame.

            
  Directionles

[Verse 2]
(sing louder)
            
  We'll share 

              
a drink and st

     
ep outside,
              
An angry voice

              
 and one who c

          
ried,
            
  "We'll give 

              
you everything

     
 and more,
              
The strain's t

              
oo much, can't

             
 take much mor

Oh I've walked

              
 on water, run

         
 through fire,
              
Can't seem to 

             
feel it anymor

         
e.

            
It was me_____


____,
             
waiting for me

              
___, hoping fo

Me__________,
