I used to think joy was the break between sorrows
like peace was the break between wars
i'm still partly new now but mostly older
and i cannot say i'm so sure
Chorus 1
i never trusted happiness as far as i could throw it
always preparing for the worst 'cause i would know it
all of that hammering in the dark
like a new noah working on his ark
I may look back at today and feel foolish
my old view was right all along
i will rush in where no angels are walking
and fight for the right to be wrong
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
between my potential and the deep blue sea
there's a rock and diamond either side of me
between our potential and the break of day
there is nothing at all in our way
