Prefab Sprout - The World Awake lyrics

rate me

It's just a way of saying we're in business

It's just a lightning strike, it's just a family row

It's just the give and take of forgiveness

Chance being a fine thing brought us together

But we're not magnets well not forever

It's just the way i am, it's just the way we are

It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you

Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife

If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake

Chance being a fine thing brought us together

But we're not magnets well not forever

It's just the way i am, it's just the way we are

It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

So don't you cry they're, they're only words

They're only the saddest thing you've ever heard

Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you

Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife

If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake
