Take That - Eight Letters lyrics
[Take That - Eight Letters lyrics]
We became the parade on the
Streets that we once cleaned
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
Raised on a feeling our lives
Would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discover
You're actually just one thing after another
And what was the question and why
Was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self-preservation was no explanation
For anything but the truth is more
Than we'll ever comprehend
I'm just starting to understand, my friend
All of that distance
Cause I fell in love with the enemy
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
At last, we meet on no man's land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no man's land, at last
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
One meaning just one meaning
Streets that we once cleaned
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
Raised on a feeling our lives
Would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discover
You're actually just one thing after another
And what was the question and why
Was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self-preservation was no explanation
For anything but the truth is more
Than we'll ever comprehend
I'm just starting to understand, my friend
All of that distance
Cause I fell in love with the enemy
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
At last, we meet on no man's land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no man's land, at last
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
One meaning just one meaning
