[Verse 1] I've seen the race, i've seen it all I've seen the writing on the wall I've seen the love and all it breaks And all the heartache i could take The air inside is white and sweet It covers up what it defeats At the sea the demons wail They crush your hands before you fail [Chorus 1] Oh, come on, surprise me. [x2] It's over, everyone I can't call the rising sun Oh and i was almost loved. [x4] Oh and we were almost loved. [x2] [Verse 2] I've seen the fear behind the hate The feral need that cannot wait How every hope would fail and fall With a diamond praise behind it all The struggle leans and then it breaks Look at the things we never make The sun that sets beneath the tides And why i'll love you til you die [Chorus 2] Oh, come on, surprise me. [x2] It's over, everyone I can't call the setting sun Oh and i was almost loved. [x4] Oh and we were almost loved. [x2] [Outro] It's over, everyone I can't call the setting sun Oh and i was almost loved Oh and we were almost loved
