As It Happened Lyrics

All the common phrases that I know
And words that I could sew
Won't let you know
I could memorize all of my lines
But I'd never recite them all right

If I compromise then what could I sell?
There'd be no one to tell
About our lives and lies and personal files
It makes perfect sense that you'd be here now
There was never a better place to live and call your own

All in all
There's nowhere we can go
Where there's not someone we know anymore
All in all
There's nowhere left to go
But it's not all our fault anymore

All in all
Nothing's for sure at all
But if we have to know
Let's get straight to the source of it all

How do we hide our smiles
When they haven't been gone for a while?
I guess I'll never know
But not that I want to

I could play the part of someone I know
But only to show how well I can pose
It's impossible to learn without notes
There's always a better way to reveal what you know
