The Wire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How you gonna know it if you never try?
You spend your life wonderin' if it passed you by
Living like that'll make you terrified
How you gonna know it if you never try?
How you gonna feel it if you won't let go?
You're scared to death of being alone
When you're scared like that you'll grow a heart of stone
How you gonna feel it if you won't let go?
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
You got a dead desire
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Thrown in the fire
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
It's down to the wire
How you gonna learn it if you close your mind?
You lie and say that everythings fine,
But living in denial it'll leave you blind
How you gonna learn it if you close your mind?
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
You got a dead desire
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Thrown in the fire
Oh Oh, Oh Oh
It's down to the wire
How you gonna make it if you go alone?
When you think of all the chances you've blown
It takes faith and a friend to carry you home
How you gonna make it if you go alone?
How you gonna make it if you go alone?
How you gonna make it if you go alone?
