It was the perfect opportunity
Looking at your quick mistakes
You finally went and did it
You screamed and ran away

It was the perfect chance the mystery school
It's all for beginners
How we knew it then
But that didn't mean a thing

So we stacked our promises
To the mothers of invention
Then you chased the spiral dream
With the brothers of time

So you gave your heart of hearts
To the sisters of the union
You were left so high and dry
Just give it up, just give a little time

Betcha never thought you'd make
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd make it

You were dancing faster all the time
Living life so down and out
But it was so magnificent
You couldn't leave it all alone

So you chased your dreams
When they sing to you, 'Bon jour'
It's the perfect dream
But that didn't mean a thing

Something tells me you know who you are?
You just make believe it all
Something tells me you were
Just waiting for that perfect time, hey hey

See this reality
It's the mother of invention
You can spin the spiral dream
Sister, brother, sister of time

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket
Just catch you when you're falling

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket
Just catch you when you're falling, falling

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket

Betcha never thought you'd make it
It was the perfect opportunity
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Just looking at your quick mistakes
Betcha never thought you'd
So you finally went and did it

Betcha never thought
Betcha never thought, betcha never thought you'd make it

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket
