Is it all wrapped up in desire?                                                      
Is this the place we go to light the fire?                                 
Someone like you should never be given the keys                   
So just sit back, leave the driving to me                                     

You can spend your life looking for that special someone                     
Someone to share, someone to fly, someone to swoon                     
But when you least expect it, and when your guard is down                
They simply...walk into the room 

And it’s a sudden realization 
The train has left the station 
I’m done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end    
A heady situation 
But a subtle kind of persuasion 
And nothing can prevent love getting through 
...before is over now, and the after is with you 

It's true what they say about the heart                                      
It's skips a beat and gives you a start                                      
People like us should never be alone                                         
So stay with me now, keep talking on the phone                    

Imagine the qualities that your dream love will have                           
Trying to fit it all into the frame                                                                
Then all at once you came along and it all burst into flames               
I threw away the rule book, ‘cause love is no game 

And it’s a sudden realization 
The train has left the station 
I’m done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end    
Oh a heady situation 
But a subtle kind of persuasion 
And nothing can prevent love getting through 
...before is over now, and the after is with you 

Goodbye to my old ways 
Goodbye to the good old days 
I left a note, for my old self and I quote… 
“Leave it all behind….” 

And it’s a sudden realization 
The train has left the station 
I’m done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end    
Whoa, oh, oh, oh it’s a heady situation 
But a subtle kind of persuasion 
And nothing can prevent love getting through 
...before is over now, and the after is with you 
...before is over now, and the after is with you  
...before is over now, and the after is with you 

Hotel Isolation, is where they send your mail 
Hiding out like a criminal, with dogs on your trail 
You've been a passenger, taken a free ride 
Getting’ by on good looks, think the rules don't apply 

When all of your charm has gone, and beauty fades away 
How will they remember you? 
And what will they say? 
They’ll say… 

There goes the lucky one, you had everything 
You lost it all, when you took the fall 
Now who’s the lucky one? 

Had friends in high places, a street touch of class 
But these days your mirror, is the bottom of a glass 
You grew up a loner, you were a ward of the state 
Bounced around this old world, arriving too late 

When all of your charm has gone, and beauty fades away 
How will they remember you? 
And what will they say? 
They’ll say… 

There goes the lucky one, you had everything 
You lost it all, when you took the fall 
Now who’s the lucky one? 

You were always untouchable 
That’s why it seems so hard to believe 
We thought you unstoppable 
Thought you’d be here forever, and never leave 

When all of your charm has gone, and beauty fades away 
How will they remember you? 
And what will they say? 
They’ll say… 

There goes the lucky one, most likely to succeed 
Played with a loaded gun, now down on your knees 
You were always the lucky one, you had everything 
But were you happy? 
Did you have regrets? 
Were you the lucky one?

You and I we, hardly are  
Anything more than strangers passing by 
All day and all night 
Forgotten by time, so why even try  
The sun has set on our love... 

Oh, it's a ritual 
We follow every day 
Oh it’s habitual 
The things that we say 

Oh, it's a ritual 
It's something we both know 
Oh it’s habitual 
Unspoken and untold 

It's been too long since we tried 
To work it out it just lies  
There between us all day and all night 
Sealed up tight by silence and spite 
The curtain has come down on our love... 

Oh, it's a ritual 
Love's evil little game 
Oh it’s habitual 
Since love went down the drain 

Oh, it's a ritual 
Gotta break the cycle soon 
Oh it’s habitual 
The end is way over due 

It’s what time can do 
Erode the thing that once mattered 
That’s how resentment grew 
Over time we were left tattered and broken 
And stranded alone together 

The curtain has fallen on our love... 

Oh, it's a ritual 
Love's wicked little game 
Oh it’s habitual 
Since love went down the drain 

Oh, it's a ritual 
Gotta break the cycle soon 
Oh it’s habitual 
The end is way over due
