Walk into the lightning of a midnight bulletin 
Our brave new world sits smiling with egg on its chin 
And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow 
We stopped making love in the hours of daylight too many moons ago 

But now that we've given all that we have to give 
Maybe we're just scared to live 

Since I go so blinkered to nothing else but you 
I've been playing for each cheap reward like game show gluttons do 
And love's the honest truth Babe 
And love's such a beautiful lie 
So don't look so confused Honey, know it's true tonight 

But now that I've given all that I have to give 
Maybe I'm just scared to live 

Why can't I wake up and make something of my life 
Why can't I wake up to this life 

How can you have no faith in this your own home town? 
Can't you practice a little discretion, play the whole thing down 
And since you got so blinkered to the highs and lows of a hopeless thing 
Maybe you can take this heart and pass it on to him 

Now that I've given all that I have to give 
Maybe I'm just scared to live 

Maybe you can take this heart and pass it on to him
