[Verse 1]

Take it back to the start

Meet and greet on the stairway

Sitting ducks in the eye of a storm

Oblivious to what will happen

[Verse 2]

Take it back to the start

It began on a weekend

When you had my soul

When I kept your soul safe

[Pre-Chorus]

If I could give you my eyes

What a generous surprise

It'll pain you for what I've seen

At least then you'll know what I mean

[Chorus]

And it wasn't right, but with good intentions

And there is a way with thoughts and invention

The compromise was full of lies always, always

[Verse 3]

You're a stone unturned

Another lesson learned

A fine line between now and the past

All broken bones healed in time's cast

[Verse 4]

Just a story to be told

For when we get old

When you had my soul

When I kept your soul safe

[Pre-Chorus]

If I could give you my eyes

What a generous surprise

It'll pain you for what I've seen

But at least then you'll know what I mean

The fields and the flowers I grow

I pick 'em and I put 'em on show

There's a few things you've gotta know

About me

[Chorus]

And it wasn't right, but with good intentions

And there is a way with thoughts and invention

The compromise was full of lies always, always

The compromise was full of lies always, always

[Bridge/Outro]

And you could've been home

I think you could've been lost and found

I think you could've been home

I think you could've been lost and found

And in relation to our souls

It was gonna be now or never

And in relation to our souls

It was gonna be now or never
