It was the perfect opportunity

Looking at your quick mistakes

So yo u finally went and did it

You screamed and ran away



It was the perfect chance

The mystery school

It's all for beginners

How we knew it then

But that didn't mean a thing



So we stacked our promises

To the mothers of invention

Then yo u chased the spiral dream

Wit hthe brothers of time



So you gave your heart of hearts

To the sisters of the union

You were left so high and dry

Just give it up

Just give a little time



Betcha never thought

You'd make

Betcha never thought

You'd see the light of day

Betcha never thought

You'd make it





You were dancing faster all the time

Living life so down and out

But it was so magnificent

You couldn't leave it all alone



So you chased your dreams

When they sing to you, "Bon jour"

It's the perfect dream

But that didn't mean a thing



Something tells me you know who you are

You just make believe it all

Something tells me you were

Just waiting for that perfect time



See this reality

It's the mother of invention

You can spin the spiral dream

Sister, brother, sister of time



CHORUS

Betcha never thought

You'd make it

Betcha never thought

You'd see the light of day

Betcha never thought

You'd have it in your pocket



Just catch you when you're falling



CHORUS



Just catch you when you're falling, falling



CHORUS



Betcha never thought you'd make it

You'd make it



It was the perfect opportunity

Just looking at your quick mistakes

So yo u finally went and did it
