So we thought we'd never lose
In that fall we lost ourselves there
Between false beliefs we had to choose
A national code to believe in somewhere
But how were we to know this?
In the middle of the race, at the starting gates
No one stopped to show us
The white flag's coming down and now it's far too late
If you waver in the wind
If you quiver, or start shivering
I'll be there, right by your side
But for now I'll say goodbye
For now I'll say...
So we thought we'd always win
In that spring we became stars
We were both exploding from within
Somewhere in the distance I could see you in my arms
But those were apparitions
In the middle of the field, all the stars concealed
Clouding our ambitions
We never even stopped to see if it was real
If you waver in the wind
If you quiver, or start shivering
I'll be there, right by your side
But for now I'll say goodbye
For now I'll say...
You will always be my friend
I'm not depending on these things from you
I know that everything must end
But in the end, we've faced the truth
If you waver in the wind
If you quiver, or start shivering
I'll be there, right by your side
But for now I'll say goodbye
For now I'll say goodbye
