lyrics

The rain kept falling from the morning
Tears of a different warning
Left out under the moonlight
Rising up to catch the dawning

Steps filled with discontent
Dragging and slagging until the hours are spent
Then the silent fire transforms me
It’s frightening how real life can be

It's always too that or this
A moving target you're always going to miss
Moving targets into another slice of time
A moving target without any reason or rhyme
Moving targets

Why does the story keep changing
I find out the ending too late
The signals I get keep rearranging
It's hard to keep the facts straight

Standing by an open window
As she passes by in the darkness
I've heard the night move to silence
Whenever the sky is starless

It's always too that or this
A moving target you're always going to miss
Moving targets into another slice of time
A moving target without any reason or rhyme
Moving targets

Wake up for another day
Chattering at the break of dawn
Out of the fire and out of your own
Always taking it too far gone

Up from sleep
There’s just a wall between us
But there might as well be
Half the world between us

It's always too that or this
A moving target you're always going to miss
Moving targets into another slice of time
A moving target without any reason or rhyme
Moving targets
