about

Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall, Hero Hall, Scarlet Hall, Mark Haynes, Chris Ilett, John McCourt & Paul Swannell

lyrics

This is how it always ends:
In relief that we can still be friends
As we're chalking up the dividends of not going too far
Looks that linger, blows that glance
All the faltering steps of an awkward dance
As we no longer leave fate to chance,
Lest this thing go too far

But between fever and frustration
The choice seems obvious
So why divert our destination?

We gambled on flowers and bells
Built a picket fence round a cheap motel
And we burned so bright, we displaced hell
When this thing went too far
Now the risk of once again,
Living through the heartache at the end
Makes the appetites we apprehend
Feel like going too far

But between heat and hesitation
The choice seems obvious
So why enjoin our exploration?

I know it’s not just doubt that's weighing you down
I won’t go to war with the peace that you’ve found
But I’ll undertake while I’m still above ground
Not to wander too far

I’ll admit the road is tight
Between wise and witless, wrong and right
And it feels if you put up a fight
Then you’re going to go far
But sometimes the greatest sin
Is not giving up and giving in
To the long shot of a foolish whim
That you let go too far

Between control and consolation
The choice seems obvious
So, why refute this reformation?
