You should know by now 
that the common thread is taut 
I'd like to stay 
but you just won't listen 

Disappointment I'd take 
though there's no point to it 
I blew it 

If you could think aloud 
it won't mean anything will change 
As tests go wrong and we deny it together 

Or a second of thought 
might ache forever 
I blew it 
I blew it 
I blew it 

But did you ever go too far 
up against your own persuasion 
Consummate madness then despise 

You should have learnt by now 
that the common thread is taut 
It's hard to reflect 
when your world is sighing 

You could never catch up 
and there's no use trying 
I blew it 
I blew it 
I blew it 

And if the gods were on your side 
I couldn't let you slide 
(I blew it) (I blew it) 
And if the gods were on your side 
I couldn't let you slide 
(I blew it) (I blew it) 
You blow it 
You blew it 
I blew it (I blew it) 
I blew it
