We're the contestants of a dangerous game
The best way to win is up and walking away
It's easy to say but never to do
With the grip it has on you
But look at what it's done to you
In 20 years you'll see it too
How can I help you escape from yourself?
We're sitting under the starlight
Laughing away, as the
Flick of a lighter ushers in a new day
And I say to myself, who am I to say? (Who am I to say)
There's a tragic connection, keeping me out
It's the one thing that their entire lives are about
But do I keep it away, and let them go astray?
They're falling away
Maybe someday you'll see it all falling down
And even if not, you'll survive without a doubt
But look at the way you're living right now
Are you even really alive?
But look at what it's done to you
In 20 years you'll see it too
How can I help you escape from yourself?
