It's not over at all

You're just trying to smile

I know perfectly well

Such are things we both know

and we think we should say

just to organize the stains

Systems reveal their construction these days

as we escape to drift further away

We know the stars go out one night

but I can't tell you anything you wouldn't know

So nothing has been lost



It's not over at all

If my thoughts could be here

they'd advice you to leave

It's not easy, I know

making hard things look small

But we're dying to try

You have revealed your conclusion by chance

I have replaced you at little expense

We know the stars go out one night

but I can't think of anything I haven't told

Still, nothing has been lost



When you could use the words reserved for a sad song

You'll find you've spent them up on God and everyone

Like anyone before



It's not over at all

You're just trying to smile

I know perfectly well

It's not over

but oh, if my thoughts could be here

They'd advice you to leave

We will be cold where the lights are all out

but at least we can think without reason or doubt

I don't know much about this world

but I can tell you one thing as I pass you by

Nothing has been lost
