lyrics

Dresden leaves are falling fast
winter‘s in the air
we‘re older but no wiser just drag these old bones round each year

Pick myself up from the floor and let my memories fade
as the rooftops cast a knowing eye on last nights dear charades

Clotheslines whip thru the morning breeze, suburbia's symphony
but girl, I can‘t for the life of me say where I'm bound to be

Cause it‘s the same roads that we‘ve walked before
a hundred times or more
as I cross the room you call out to me
from an outside door

Don‘t we get a second chance?
don‘t we get another try?
won‘t they let us stick around
till we get it right
don‘t we get a second chance?
can‘t we get another name?
won‘t they let us start again
reset / rewind

My mind it‘s saying one thing but my body disagrees
let the morning papers shout our names
cause there's poison on TV

From the high rise crowded city streets to a hotel by the sea
your misty, worn out high street eyes they burn holes right thru me

But they're the same names that we‘ve heard before
a thousand times or more
as I‘m swimming hard you call my name
voices from the shore

Don‘t we get a second chance?
don‘t we get another try?
won‘t they let us stick around
till we get it right
don‘t we get a second chance?
don‘t we get another name?
won‘t they let us start again
reset / rewind
