Greatest Thing

[Verse 1]

Give me a ball of string to stretch around the world

Two paper cups, one voice and a little bit of luck

[Pre-Chorus]

I've tried to shout loud enough for so long now

But I can't seem to get through to you, maybe this time

This time

[Chorus]

You know, we were the greatest thing that never was

I don't know how to reach you now, but I know how I feel

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah

But I know how I feel

[Verse 2]

Give me another chance to prove you were wrong

Back then I used to run so fast I couldn't see what I'd done

[Pre-Chorus]

I've tried to shout loud enough for so long now

But I can't seem to get through to you, maybe this time

This time

[Chorus]

You know, we were the greatest thing that never was

I don't know how to reach you now, but I know how I feel

We were the greatest thing that never was

I don't know how to reach you now, but I know how I feel
