A World That Passed Me By

[Verse 1]
When the brain is saying no, but the heart is saying yes
You don’t listen to your feelings
As you both stand there undressed
When gravity is pulling, at the flesh upon your bones
You take every chance your given
As you stand beneath your comb
Then you think about computers, and your favourite football team
And you hope to keep your end up (hope you keep your end up)
To fulfil her every dream

[Chorus]
The moon is on your pillow
And her voice is like a song
The words sound so familiar
But you may have got them wrong
It’s the love that wе were born with, the lovе that made us cry
I can only watch in wonder, at the world that passed me by

[Verse 2]
When the cradle rocks so gently, and your friends stop coming round
You retreat into the sofa, as the late nights wear you down
Now the music's in the background, as your hair is getting trimmed
On the salad and the sushi thinking
Hey you look so prim
But the quality is weakened, by the hours that you spend
Trying to build a million bridges (build a million bridges)
That you know you’ll never mend

[Chorus]
Is it fatal are you happy
Can your family take the strain
On the edge of sweet existence
With your fingers in the flame
With your feet up on the table
You can watch the seconds fly
Do you feel as if your living, in a world that passed you by

[Verse 3]
All the drugs and all the drinking, all the tours around the world
Every heart I have invaded, every precious little pearl
When you travel all this distance, do you ever think you’ve stopped
Even when your destination, isn’t where you thought you’d drop
It’s a journey of a lifetime, on a jet stream of release
I’m just happy to be breathing now my chances have in-creased

[Chorus]
For a day that’s filled with promise
For a day that’s full of soul
Where the boundaries are not broken by
A challenge or a goal
It’s a spiritual journey it keeps me so alive
I’m no longer chasing shadows, in a the world that passed me by
