Why you go on talking?
You know how it'll end
No one's really listening
But we can all pretend

There's movement in the water
And we're all getting out
You've been there while you're dreaming
Haven't you?

Don't you know it's inevitable
But if you call it too soon you've got to both show, both show
Where you go when you're closing your eyes on your birthday?
It only comes true when you don't say, don't say

It's not about you, it's gonna happen without you

So careful when you smile
A perfect little bend
It's just a flexing of a muscle
But we can all pretend

Don't you know it's inevitable
But if you call it too soon you've got to both show, both show
Where you go when you're closing your eyes on your birthday?
It only comes true when you don't say, don't say

It's not about you, it's gonna happen without you
