Ring the verse
Let it in
Set softly begin
If it feels like the first time, don't let it in
'Cause it wanders by
Like something that could have been

If I were to write the song
That could penetrate your ears
Would it calm your trembling soul?
Would it ease your every fear?

(Chorus)
Can we go back to
The place where we all used to see through
Everything blinding us?
Now you don't understand anything anymore
You shiver at the sight
And you're afraid to show that
You're only so human tonight

Could one song solve all of our problems?
Could it have the strength to heal?
Would it cripple and destroy
And leave nothing unrevealed?

Then it might it uproot every lie
And force us all to cower
Beneath this tremendous weight
In the wake of all its power

Can we go back to
The place where we all used to see through
Every thing blinding us?
Now you don't understand anything anymore
But you shiver at the sight
And you're afraid to show that
You're only so human tonight

(interlude)

Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better?
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better?
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better?
Don't you know that you shiver at the sight

And you're afraid to show that
You're only so human tonight
If I were to write the song
That could somehow change the world
Would it be a calm surrender?
(Or like) a fight to the death?
Would it give something to live for?
Would it give our final breath?
Would it be a lulling opera, as sweet as a child's kiss?
Would it sound like all the others?
Would it sound something like this?
