It never used to be that bad But neither was it great Somewhere in the middle than Content and much too safe Ooh tell me please Why it takes so long To realise when there's something wrong Lay me out with your heart Now we're gettin' somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're gettin' somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're gettin' somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling There's money in the Bible belt Hugs for daddy too Three wishes for eternity We've got some work to do Ooh tell me please, tell me what went wrong Cause I believe there is something wrong Lay me out with your heart Now we're gettin' somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're gettin' somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're gettin' somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling When you took me to your room I swear I said surrender When you opened up your mouth I saw the words fall out Though nothing much has changed I swear I will surrender There is pain in my heart We can choose what we choose to believe
