Nothing much is set in stone
these were promises we were never gonna keep
we build our lives on shifting sand, that’s all
and everything moves around, while we sleep

mechanical failure, a misread sign
well it all adds up to not much more than that
now we’re coming to terms, hitting the bottom line
a new understanding, a statement of fact

here in the half-light, here in the half-light
there’s a soundtrack playing in your head
here in the half-light, here in the half-light
I can nearly remember some of the things you may have said

and nothing much is set in stone
it’s all too easy to tear it apart
we reach an understanding that we just don’t understand
but that won’t stop us taking it to heart
