Put me in quote.
Why am I always a joke?

Can't I be real this time?
Who am I supposed to be this time?
Can't I be real this time?
Back to where I began...

Hold me in quote.
Our hands, moments froze
I need more than I ever really know...

And watch me as I roll some eyes
And watch me as I roll some dice
And watch me as I rose through the ice
And back to the first square...

Hold me in close
Closer than you've ever been before
The question is, are you ever really sure?

Are you bowing?
Are you bowing?
Tell me you're bowing
Maybe you're bowing
Or maybe you're praying
Or (?)

All I ever wanted
Was to be recognised for what I may be
And that may or may not be up to me

The more I care the more I can't forget.
Decide what I may mean,
Get a rise out, tumbling me down
The stockpile, yeah crumbling down, down, down...
