Lyrics[]
Even human bound, people rolling dice
Image on the ground, such a novel life, he thought
While knowing nothing at all
Every option noted or tendency made
They will carry on until the perfect date, she said
While knowing nothing at all
All the rules well known, they mean nothing to me
Everything I'm used to seems to be
Fine misshapen made up fantasy
Should let go, should let go!
But we found something better
plain answer however
For I'll not surrender
We found something better
Vis-à-vis estranged and we got close
Trust full of lies, sure how it goes, they told
While knowing nothing at all
Talking loud 'bout future in our hands
Exchanging dreams and how they'll last, no no
Still knowing nothing at all
But we found something better
Plain answer however
For I'll not surrender
We found something better
All these words reflected back to me
All these words, I'm buying, why?
All these words, the lives grand mystery
All these words a sweet white lie!
All these words she meant to say to me
All these words against my faith
All these words, before she passed away
All these words, will never never never change
We found something better
Plain answer however
For I'll not surrender
We found something better
We found!
We found!
We found!
We found, we found, we found, we found! We found!
