Swinging at Shadows

When whispers tempted me in
Spent the afternoon pinned
On the far side of the playing field
Then shall we skip to the part
Where I'm hung from the bars or not?
Then behind the grandstand
Where we made all our plans
The moment came and left without me
On the last bus back
I'm gonna think about that, only

(Oh-ooh, whoa) And they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
But that just brings us closer
(Oh-ooh, whoa) Yeah, they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
No

We blew the hours we got from dandelion clocks
And as they drift off they weigh hard on me
'Cos as we draw near the end
It's just if not now, then when? Again
And though we felt we were free, we spent an eternity
With different places that we need to be
Me without you and you just fine without me

(Oh-ooh, whoa) And they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
But that just brings us closer
(Oh-ooh, whoa) Yeah, they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
No

Oh, and after everyone's gone home
They're still out there and they're swinging at shadows
Wasting time holding lines that have become
Just like the blanks fired from a hired gun
Ringing out for no one

(Oh-ooh, whoa) Yeah, they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
But that just brings us closer
(Oh-ooh, whoa) And they'll never let us in
(Oh-ooh, whoa) We'll be outsiders once again
(Oh-ooh, whoa) If we were ever anything else, I don't know
No
