Checkmate
If I placed every second spent thinking of you
Every second spent trying to forget you
Every second in sleep haunted by you
Every prayer said
Every word written
Every tear shed
Side by side
I'd have spent a lifetime with you.
And what remains when there is no other move?
Do you lie down and die?
Do you get up and run?
Round the globe, out of breath and out of means
Running in vain
You're always running in vain
There's no running when you've committed a sin
Lest there be one to punish or forgive
Checkmate.
Take the knife
Take my heart
Let the heavy weight on my heart take flight
Having been a part of me for oh so many years
I feel extraordinarily light
This is how it must be in space
Weightlessness.
Every second spent trying to forget you
Every second in sleep haunted by you
Every prayer said
Every word written
Every tear shed
Side by side
I'd have spent a lifetime with you.
And what remains when there is no other move?
Do you lie down and die?
Do you get up and run?
Round the globe, out of breath and out of means
Running in vain
You're always running in vain
There's no running when you've committed a sin
Lest there be one to punish or forgive
Checkmate.
Take the knife
Take my heart
Let the heavy weight on my heart take flight
Having been a part of me for oh so many years
I feel extraordinarily light
This is how it must be in space
Weightlessness.
