  • Remember when we were standing
    Dappled and still unshaved
    Hiding from hidden cameras
    In the shadow of the cranes
    The things that I stole, I gave you
    The things that you said you liked
    I bought you those pretty things
    But you gave them back

    Now I don't know how to reach you
    I don't know where to look
    I turn away from my mistakes
    Try not to look
    And I don't know how to reach you
    I don't know where to look
    I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book

    I'd steal a shadow for you
    I'd love you like a knife
    From the towers, I try to call you
    From the depths of the power lines
    Tell me the things that scare you
    Touch me with terror's flame
    Fill me with hesitation
    Again

    'Cause I don't know how to reach you
    I don't know where to look
    I turn away from my mistakes
    Try not to look
    And I don't know how to reach you
    I don't know where to look
    I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book
    And I don't know how to reach you
    I don't know where to look
    I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book

    (I never thought it would happen)
    (I never thought it would happen)

    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
    Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)

    Happen to me
