Those were the darkest hours of them all,
and I can easily say I had no love.
I see myself outside it all,
but somehow I'm always there
'cause all I know is what I bear.

Now I dare to think of one.
Now I dare to think of something that I've known.
Now I dare to think of one.
Now I dare to think of something that I've known.

And now I know returning here ain't that hard despite my fear.

I have no brightest hours to expect for you.
There were so few, they're not worth mentioning anyway.

You took me far too seriously
'cause all I know is what I fear.

Now I dare to think of one.
Now I dare to think of something that I've known.
I can't get you in tonight.
'cause you're just fading into something that you've known.

And now I know returning here ain't that hard despite my fear.

I swear I had ideas worth gold.
[No, no, you're never supposed to have told.]
Returning here is my goal.
[No, no you're never supposed to fly.]
If I ever get old with you,
[It won't happen unless you play it down.]
So many years in my chest --
it's all locked, it's all locked up in my chest.

Now I dare to think of one.
Now I dare to think of something that I've known.
Now I dare to make it right for once.
Now I dare to think of something that I've known.

And now I know returning here ain't that hard despite your fear.
And now I know returning here ain't that hard despite my fear.
