Knowing I want you, knowing I love you I can't explain why I remain careless about you I've been a fool to allow dreams to become great expectations How can I love you so much yet make no move? I pray the days and nights in their endless weary processions Soon overwhelm my sad obsession You and I, we've seen it all Chasing our heart's desire But we go on pretending Stories like ours have happy endings You could not give me more than you gave me Why should there be something in me still discontented? I won't look back anymore, and if I do, just for a moment I'll soon be happy to say I knew her well But if you're here today, I'm no longer quite so devoted to this affair I've been misquoted You and I, we've seen it all Chasing our heart's desire But we go on pretending Stories like ours have happy endings You and I, we've seen it all Chasing our heart's desire But we go on pretending Chasing our heart's desire But we go on pretending Stories like ours have happy endings Instrumental Each day of chess means less or less Every patient left to be played Each day got through means one or two Less mistakes remain to be made Not much is known of what it is I've chased beyond a very vague report And fifteen hundred years ago Two princes fought the brothers for a kingdom throne The mother cried, for no one really likes her As she's fighting to the death She begged the court to smote her With a stupid friend, but sure enough Her brother's died Beyond belief, she caught her weaving some hue Across the streets, I can't forgive This evil thing you've done He tried to explain How things have really been But he's ran it dry in vain Oh, what a way to say It's not implied by the ring And so he asked The wisest men in Europe How to lessen man's stress They told him, maybe We'd decide to show him That's why we're using modern soldiers On a checkerboard To show him Forcing brothers more than us In betting chess Chess Is playing more in our jobs Than the pleasure In chess We have justified it Thus we decide We invest Still from the West Her uncle's hands He'd know for sure In 1453 No one would have noticed Every other refugee Included in his bags of silk He spots in the ranks And in the finds Of leading figures And of men himself Of the smithies And the smithy Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies Of the smithies And we then go And bishop that and more To come along We go today Upon the neighbors' lawn And when we get We say again That's not in focus Now in weakness come And most in illness They find what is now Here are we called The selfless fellows Not be given pleasure Yet we rise For those who care And find their glory And patient This world is such A fascinating Kingdom This is an all too familiar scene Hopeless reflections On what might have been From all sides The incessant And burning question Bearing in mind Your predicament now What you'd be then We're just dying to know Would you do it all again Each day we get through Means one less mistake Therefore the may be But they know full well It's not hard to tell Though my heart was breaking I gave the world For that moment with you And we thought we knew That our love would last But the cold would last With no warning from too far You and I We've seen it all Chasing the masking sign But we go on pretending Stories like ours Have happy endings Thanks for watching!
