Spell It Out Songtext / Lyric

Here's my list of all the things I should have said and done

The boats I missed and all the fights I lost I really should have won

And i'm not the only one

But I won't bow or take the world as you would hand it down

So leave me out of all your plans 'cause I don't need them now

I'll find my own way out



'Cause when you're left with nothing

There's nothing left to lose

That's when they'll come looking for me and you

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new

It was all laid out just for me and you now



Wave goodbye I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me,

Spell it out so everyone can see

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free

But my hands are tied and I can't find my feet



Sit by me for long enough and watch your enemies float downstream one by one until you realise you're free

There's no one left but me






'Cause when you're left with nothing

There's nothing left to lose

That's when they'll come looking for me and you.

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new

It was all laid out just for me and you now



Wave goodbye 'cause I know I'll believe if you spell it out for me

Spell it out so everyone can see

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free

But my hands are tied and I can't find my feet



This sweet old world will give it out until it's time to leave

I won't hurt for you when all you want's a flawless victory

How wrong could anyone be?



'Cause when you're left with nothing

There's nothing left to lose

That's when they'll come looking for me and you.

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new

It was all laid out just for me and you now



Wave goodbye I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me

Spell it out so everyone can see

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free

But my hands are tied and I can't find my feet
