lyrics

DID WE EVER HAVE A CHANCE

Take me to the start,
You came in with a broken back
Night bird singing out
Billy boot heart attack
Floating in our orbits
How did we ever decide
Did we fall into each other
Was it just a slow collide

Ooh, are we missing something
Were we meant to complete this dance
Ooh, is it ever one thing
Wish it all away, wish it all
Did we ever have a chance

Did we see each other clearly
Were there questions we didn’t ask
You only took me home with you
When I wore my wrestling mask
Started running thick as thieves
Felt just like we owned the night
You said I was hiding something
I didn’t know that you were right

Chorus

I became your valid reason
I was going to follow you
You became my sweet permission
To be who I wanted to
We know where the body’s buried
We’re guilty accomplices
We know too much about each other
Maybe that’s just what love is

Chorus
Wish it all away, wish it all
Wish it all away, wish it all
Did we ever have

Take me to the start
Billy boot heart attack
We held something for each other
Now it’s time to give it back
