Mistakes that we share
I'd crawl through broken glass
just to feel the same or to understand
and i see it in your eyes
your slipping into that net, that net
i see it in your eyes your slipping through that net,
Listen, listen to me
Listen, listen to me
you fold, you fold in two
in common places together with common friends. ..
they say you mush fight back
yeah stand up for yourself
i see it in your eyes your slipping
through that net....that net
well time is the enemy she's biting
at your heels thank reason for remedies
yeah!!!!!
