1. THE GAME

(If this is the game played right)

What a nice alibi, how’ve you come to afford such convincing lies?
Cause I know that allies don’t come cheap and you spent everything
On your last team until they got tired of naming their price
Who on earth needs an enemy, cause with friends like these
You’ve got enough to last you a whole lifetime

If this is the game played right
Then I’m glad that I’m
Safe on the losing side
Cause over here we hold onto our pride,
Don’t you wish that you controlled your own life?

We get what we deserve
Sell yourself short
And that’s the most you’ll ever be worth
And I know you wanted more than this so
If we could find a way to bring you back
Cooperation hurts but life hurts more
But life hurts more

If this is the game played right
Then I’m not even gonna try

Maybe this tongue of yours is too sensitive for
Telling the truth but evading it's breaking you
I’m not blaming you it’s a weakness
You love the attention, I get it, I do
But on your last night
Do you think you might wish that you’d put up a better fight?

If this is the game played right
Then I’m glad that I’m
Stuck on the losing side
If this is the game, then all of the rules will have to change

We get what we deserve
Sell yourself short
And that’s the most you’ll ever be worth
And I know you wanted more than this so
If we could find a way to bring you back
Cooperation hurts but life hurts more
But life hurts more

If this is the game played right
Then I’m not gonna roll the dice

We get what we deserve
Sell yourself short
And that’s the most you’ll ever be worth
And I know you wanted more than this so
If we could find a way to bring you back
Cooperation hurts but life hurts more
But life hurts more

If this is the game played right


2. MISS CATASTROPHE

Flying free isn't quite how it seemed in the stories
I guess that’s why they call it fantasy
Together, you and me
Chasing dreams and fleeing scenes
Oh we could plan this to a T
But the point in that would be?

Miss Catastrophe
Falls at our feet
Begging us please
She'll make this a night to remember
If we take her along for the journey

Darling we know everything's alright
As long as something's going wrong
'Cause as luck would have it
We've never been the lucky ones

Hide and Seek
It's not as fun as it used to be you and me
Both hiding from reality
Seeking things we'll never meet
Together
We'll be climbing mountains
Swimming the seas
And everything that's in between
Oh what fun this life could be
But before we leave

Miss Catastrophe
Falls at our feet
Begging us please
She'll make this a night to remember
If we take her along for the journey

Darling we know everything's alright
As long as something's going wrong
'Cause as luck would have it
We've never been the lucky ones

Everything's alright
Everything's alright
And this won't be the first or the last time
Our fortunes decline right in front of our eyes
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
There's always something going wrong
But we've got to keep trying

Darling we know everything's alright
As long as something's going wrong
'Cause as luck would have it
We've never been the lucky ones

Darling we know everything's alright
As long as something's going wrong
'Cause as luck would have it
We've never been the lucky ones
As fate would have it
We've never had it all
As luck would have it
We've never been the lucky ones


3. HOPE & FEAR

Tell me what you need to feel complete

Freedom leaves no directions to follow
I’m never quite sure what exactly to ask of myself
Or what has to happen next

It’s not that I can’t find the words to explain
What is going on in my mind
No, honestly
It’s that I never seem to have the time
For ever such a long story
And I’m not even sure that it needs to be told

I forever live in hope and fear
That today will be the one that defines me
This picture we’re painting isn’t so clear
And the colours aren’t as bright as I wanted them to be
It doesn’t feel complete

Lose and find me, only reminds me of the hourglass timing
Sand always running on through
Forcing what has to happen next

So why am I waiting?
It’s not that I’m afraid of driving this thing
No, honestly
It’s that I barely know where I’m headed
And there’s a chance that we could crash
And I’m not sure that I can handle pressure like that

I forever live in hope and fear
That today will be the one that defines me
This picture we’re painting isn’t so clear
And the colours aren’t as bright as I wanted them to be

I’m petrified of closing my eyes
In case I wake up and the whole world has left me behind
Won’t rest until I find what my tapestry hides
But damn could I do with some sleep

This next move could change everything
This next move could change everything
Can’t know what the next second brings
(And we could all do with some sleep)
This next move could change everything
This next move could change everything
Can’t know what the next second brings
This next move could change everything

I forever live in hope and fear
That today will be the one that defines me
This picture we’re painting isn’t so clear
And the colours aren't as bright as I wanted them

I forever live in hope and fear
That today will be the one that defines me
This picture we’re painting isn’t so clear
And the colours aren't as bright as I wanted them to be


4. JUST YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT

Excuse me friend
Today will depend entirely on your version of the truth
A blessing in disguise
You spent an awful lot of time on this costume, didn't you? You almost had us all fooled
Excuse me friend
This game has to end and conclusions aren't easy to come by
You convinced yourself and everybody else
But not me
No, not this time

Another day
And this one could go either way
Hey, I'd like to introduce another day
Treat this better than your last
Bridges will burn
But we can find another way and today is another day
Take it by the hand and it will be just what you make

Hello up there
Is the view any clearer from where you've been hiding away?
You can't say that I didn't warn you, that I didn't care
That this comedown would be more than you could bear
Hello up there
With your head in the clouds
Steady your feet you're a long way from the ground
Starting to believe your own hype
But I learned to read between the lines
And I know it's not fine

Another day
And this one could go either way
Hey, I'd like to introduce another day
Treat this better than your last
Bridges will burn
But we can find another way and today is another day
Take it by the hand and it will be just what you make

You have the loneliest times in the busiest places
You feel isolated cause that's how you made it, oh that's how you made it
Did we push you away? Did we all turn our backs?
Oh just you keep telling yourself that - just you keep telling yourself that.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying, I'm not angry
But you can only push me so far

Did we paint you a victim forced out of your home?
Did we ask you to sit back and watch us all grow?
Oh just you keep telling yourself that - just you keep telling yourself that.

So here, my friend, another day
This one could go either way
You know this life is what you make
Yours and yours alone to break
I'd like to introduce you to another day

I'm not angry, I'm just saying, I'm not angry
But you can only push me so far
