This song means more to me now than I think any other song ever has
So...
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a grain field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell...
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in the cage?
How I wish...
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
No, I'm not alone but unless I'm in your arms I believe it
So...
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a grain field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell...
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in the cage?
How I wish...
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
No, I'm not alone but unless I'm in your arms I believe it
