Vision has betrayed me for the last
Time half spent on the open road again
The hand that feeds is the hand I've never seen
Years gone by in the tunnel of the stars
Forward calls, but we can't answer
The wheels point straight towards our disaster
A feeling that slips away, a feeling that slips away
Two lights strong, but we can turn them off
Our hearts are hard, and our minds are going soft
Praying for the day, praying for the day

And this is why we always try
But falling down is all we ever do
And this is why we always lie
We're so scared of the truth

It's the last time we will fall for this
It's the last time we'll call this the last
Faith stands still, but then why would she move?
No one ever said the way was gonna be smooth
Together and alone, together and alone
A prayer to God or wishing on a star
We can polish rims, but we can't start the car
Hours into years, hours into years
Candles lit on cathedral's darkened wall
Prayers to saints and forgiveness for our sins

And this is why we always try
But falling down is all we ever do
And this is why we always lie
We're so scared of the truth

Shake your fist like an old man on the porch
Sing those songs that absolve you from the wrath
For years we prayed that the fire wouldn't die
But now we find that the flame burns in our minds
Forward calls, but we can't answer
The wheels point straight towards our disaster
A feeling that slips away, a feeling that slips away
Two lights strong, but we can turn them off
Our hearts are hard and our minds are going soft
Praying for the day, yeah we're praying for the day

Jesus, leave a light on for me
I'll be coming home some day
Jesus, leave a light on for me
I'll be coming home some day

And this is why we always try
But falling down is all we ever do
And this is why we always lie
We're so scared of the truth
