Lyrics

Devil in the Details

A house of cards A supple heart Is not a place to dwell Now you have your cake Don't hesitate Come on just do it Come on just do it Put it in your mouth There is only now Tomorrow has to wait But know there's no backing out This is gonna be reality You can never dream it down I have no way Of telling The two apart Well I made amends In the general sense But the devil's in the details And I know the cause And I want to stop But I can't do it I just can't do it There was love I meant There were accidents So tell me which is which 'Cause I just can't work it out But for memory and clarity We had better write it down I have no way Of knowing the truth With time dissolves I put the past into the ground I saw the future as a cloud If there's still time to turn around I'm going to Its just one day I fell asleep And all day, all night I dreamed I am the first one I deceive If I can make myself believe The rest is easy
