The Never Latelys - Rain On My Parade

We've hit a fork at the end of the track
Another sticky wicket, another set back
Incognito, we had fate on our side
But in the end, did the ends justify the means
Was this for real, or just some fairground ride
An illusion, or something that we could deny

These were times we had to face, we were losing in the race
We had everything but we couldn't decide
Your pulling at the seams is tearing us apart
Your rain on my parade puts out the fire in my heart
A ticking time bomb race, no time for us to understand
It seems apparent now, you're tearing down these walls
For no apparent gain, we're right back at the start
It's hard to understand how we let things fall apart

As a team we had nothing to say
Our numbers didn't seem to add that way
No hero would guide us back home that day
Took solace in the fact we had each others backs
We couldn't face the lies, let alone the facts
We had nothing, and that was something that we couldn't chase

These were times we had to face, we were losing in the race
We had everything but we couldn't decide
Your pulling at the seams is tearing us apart
Your rain on my parade puts out the fire in my heart

We've learned our lessons now, stepped back from the edge
We took a small step back, from the thin end of the wedge
It seems apparent now, back then we couldn't see
We couldn't see the forest, we were blinded by the tree

These were times we had to face, we were losing in the race
We had everything but we couldn't decide
Your pulling at the seams is tearing us apart
Your rain on my parade puts out the fire in my heart
A ticking time bomb race, no time for us to understand
It seems apparent now, you're tearing down these walls
For no apparent gain, we're right back at the start
It's hard to understand how we let things fall apart
