races (north sea version) Lyrics

This is just how it's always been

And it's all I've ever seen

For so long

This is the evidence of us

Falling in and out of lust

We get it wrong

When we're dying

With our flaws and our sins

On the surface of our skin

I know, I know, I know

My faults, my faults, my faults

I know, I know, I know

I know the tide will come

Bring with it all its ghosts

I know, I know, I know

This is a race we have to run

And I'm holding a gun

To my head

Wondering if I should pull

Or if I should be a fool

And let me live

When we're dying

With our flaws and our sins

On the surface of our skin

I know, I know, I know

My faults, my faults, my faults

I know, I know, I know

I know the tide will come

Bring with it all its ghosts

I know, I know, I know

I don't understand

And I never can

I'm not listening

My head's caving in

I'm a masochist

But you're an athiest

If there's nothing else

I'm not doing this

And it's a funny thing

When the love you bring

Is invisible

And I get miserable

I know, I know, I know

My faults, my faults, my faults

I know, I know, I know

I know the tide will come

Bring with it all its ghosts

I know, I know, I know
