All our heroes are dying
And my friends are taking pills
The way I'm denying
The way I love you still
And I'm crying
Kicking doors down to let you in

My brother got married
And my sister settled down
And I find scary the way I need you around
You say you love me
And that's good enough for now

And since you know me
Tell me why I can't let go
Instead you hold me
I'm caught inside your undertow
And we play the game
And we always played it well
One hell of a story
And it's my favourite one to tell

It's six in the morning
And you ask if it's alright
If you lay beside me
If it's only for the night
I'm awake and dreaming
In the glow of the light

And since you know me
Tell me why I can't let go
Instead you hold me
I'm caught inside your undertow
And we play the game
And we always played it well
One hell of a story
And it's my favourite one to tell

All our heroes are dying
And my friends are taking pills
The way I'm denying
The way I love you still
