lyrics

Move so fast across the frozen lake
What were you doing?
Move so slowly down the shadowed street
What were you doing?

The secrets
Play out in private
No, that’s not right

The secrets
Play out in public
Oh, that’s not right either

What lessons have we learnt
When we stayed after school
Our hopes are being burnt
When we stayed out after school
When will we return?
What will we learn?

Didn’t want it to go this way
Didn’t want it to seem so strange
Didn’t want it to end this way
Didn’t want to see how it was played

Didn’t hide behind the curtain
Didn’t peek and see what’s there
I didn’t make you turn your head
I didn’t run when I was scared

When I went I went to play
Why did I climb that way
Why I looked in the sky
I didn’t know that I would die
I didn’t think it would end this way
When I looked at the sky
I don’t think I would want to die
When I went out to play
I knew it couldn’t end any other way
