Darling, there's no good time
To bring this up
We've got so much riding
On this love
Girl, there's been a distance
And your words are so unclear
And these lies and your resistance
They gotta disappear
Well I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of us completely
Yeah, I'm getting out
And I don't know where all of this is gonna leave us
But it's time we both found out
Darling, it's been a lifetime
We've been turning the other way
Surely this is the right time
To wind down the shadow play
Let's not let fortune find us
With shackles on our hands
I'd rather leave it all behind us
I wonder if we can?
Well I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of everything
That tries to stop me now
And I don't know where fortune is gonna find us
But its time for finding out
Woooooh
Woooo-oooh
Cause I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of you completely
Yeah, I'm setting out
And I don't know where all of this is gonna leave us
But it's time we both found out
And I don't know where fortune is gonna find us
It's not for me to know right now
And I don't know where time is gonna take us
But I can't let that stop me now
I can't let that stop me now
