[Chorus]
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
The love we gave along the way
[Verse 1]
Through fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
[Chorus]
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
[Verse 2]
The big picture we now engage
Our scenes here set on the stage terrestrial
Reversing the flow, here to grow
We’re all rehearsing, you know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come the final fade out
Come the final fade out
Ahh!
[Bridge]
Do, do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do
[Chorus]
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Through Fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
[Chorus]
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain (Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
Along the way
[Outro]
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) The love we gave to [?] along the way
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
