What Doesn't End Songtext
von Adam Donen

It′s hard
To be
Sincere
When there's nothing to gain
Memories
Live
For themselves
And what is to be gained
By sincere expression
A record
And what are records worth
I′d say anything if it would bring you back


What doesn't end
In defeat
Is not worth doing
But to live
In a way
Where you do not win
Or lose
Impossible
Even with the best intentions
I'd say anything if it would bring you back

It would be good
If life were brief
And so I act as if life is brief
One could be fearless with so little to lose

But though moments evaporate
Never to be reassembled
Not even in songs
So much more to bear
Until there isn′t
And I′d say anything if it would bring you back


And when you dreamed of me
I could live in your dream of my dream
It was so easy to be loved by you
And the wires
Plywood
Ratchets
Projections
Gauzes
And leaps of faith
Could remain unnoticed
Uh, uh. Uh, uh
We are each, in our own way, ghosts now
Ghosts now, ghosts now, ghosts now
Perfectly visible but barely considered

But why be so sincere
When to any who hears
This is light entertainment, isn't it
Isn′t it? Isn't it?
And what′s the audience for a love song
Is it two, or is it one
One, of course
A different person
Depending whether it works or it doesn't
But this is not a love song, that bird has flown
But I′d say anything if it would bring you back
