[1st Verse]
You get lost in the shade
Cast by all these thorns
That line up on the branch like a French brigade
Ready to storm
You saw the storm cloud coming in
From where you did stand
So you turned in your
You did not want that hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and this is ages old
Oh, we are weak and we are bold
[Chorus]
Fight or flight
Is there no common ground
It can't be right
No it can't be found
[2nd Verse]
You come upon a woman
You follow her around the bend
You follow her quite closely
For she is not your friend
She hears you crying as the sky
Is getting dark
For it's darkness that upholds us
Makes us wish for braver heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and this is ages old
Oh, we are weak and we are bold
[Chorus]
We fight or flight
Is there no common ground
It can't be right
No it can't be found
[3rd Verse]
So you go down to the water
You take the waves in your hands
And the water slips right through
No matter which way you stand
You know then that you
Cannot hold on to anything
For heartache is all
That the holding ever brings
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and this is ages old
Oh, we are weak and we are bold
[Chorus]
And fight or flight
Is there no common ground
It can't be right
No it can't be found
