I took my lifeless armored coat away
I left my lively self exposed again
Sometime I think I'm gonna earn my rightfull due
But then everybody wants it too
It's what everybody wants to do

I saw my wisest course was hope today
I let my doubts and sorrow float away
Sometime I guess they'll come to harm my life anew
Then again if they know what to do
And again if they know what to do

I thought in life we'd have the time
And come what may I'd understand
If I cry I'd just say that it's all right
But then again if I asked you
would you ever give me extra lovin'

I took my “life is long” control away
I thought “Why not let go and live to say”
In time I guess I'm gonna find out what to do
And whatever that I want to do
Is whatever that I'll have to do

I took my licence on the motorway
I left my bicycle and drove away
So why, before I'd learned to shift
from one to two
Did I have to bump into you
Did I have to run into you

I told a lie but at the time
It seemed to be a subtle gain
Should've told me after all is said and done
It's not the same
Should've told you that I really meant to say
I love you

I took my lifeless armored coat away
I sense that life was meant to do things
I thought my wisest course was hope today
I guess that life is
full of good things Sometime I guess
I'm gonna earn my rightfull do
That's what everybody wants to do
And what everybody has to do
