Lyrics

You won a prize for that
For telling lies like that
So well that I believed it
And I never felt cheated
You were the chosen one
The pure eyes of noah's dove
Choir boys and angels
Stole your lips and your halo
In your reckless mind
You act as if you've got more lives
In your reckless eyes, you only have time and your love of danger
To it you're no stranger
In that august breeze
Of those forgotten trees
Your time was set for leaving
Come a colder season
In your reckless mind
You act as if you?e got more lives
In your reckless eyes
It's never too late for a chance to seize some final breath of freedom
Very, so very wise

Don't reveal it. I'm tired, tired of knowing
Where it is you're going
In your reckless mind
You act as if you've got more lives
In your reckless eyes
It's never too late for your love of danger
To it you're no stranger
In your reckless mind
You act as if you've got more lives
In your reckless eyes, it's never too late
For a chance to seize some
Final breath of freedom
