[Verse 1]
Yet again, we're the only ones
No surprise, this is often how it's done
Lately, it's about all I can take
I will move, mend and mold this break

[Verse 2]
Shell with another crack
I'm small, but I can keep track
Too soon, everyone just step away
I'm sure this isn't the last play

[Chorus]
Take it all in stride
Speak, don't confide
We barely have a case
It's done before we try
It's darkened and by night
A desert in your face

[Verse 3]
Keep score, even playing feels this game
I know when all said, we're the same
If I could, I would leave it all be
No chance to move backwards and see
[Chorus]
Take it all in stride
Speak, don't confide
We barely have a case
It's done before we try
It's darkened and by night
A desert in your face
Take it all in stride
Speak, don't confide
We barely have a case
It's done before we try
It's darkened and by night
A desert in your face
