[Verse 1]
Oh, fear, don't hold me back again
I lost my battles for you
Oh, fear, don't tell me silence speaks
I know that can't be true
[Chorus]
I saw that train comin', and watched that train pass me by
I saw that fire burnin' only to let it dim and die
[Verse 2]
Oh, friend, I gave you everythin'
But my solitary heart
I turned and walked away from you
And crawled back into the dark
[Chorus]
I saw that summer comin', and watched that summer pass me by
I saw that flower growin' only to let it wilt and die
[Bridge]
When I turn all the lights out, nothing's as real as before
We're miles apart, learnin', and lookin' out to sea from the shore
When the night takes over, and the hours seem to start anew (Ooh)
I close the door and forget about all the things I never said to you
[Verse 3]
Oh, fear, don't hold me back again
I lost my battles for you
Oh, fear, don't tell me silence speaks
I know that can't be true
I know that can't be true
