lyrics

Like a boxer who goes one fight too far
I'm staring at the ceiling, but I'm looking at the stars
I'm a man who believes he's always right
No ground is worth conceding without a fight
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw

Like a boxer who knows he's past his prime
My ears are full of ringing and my heart beats out of time
But I can't let it go, I can't let things be
It kills me that it always ends violently
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw

And if you strike, I'll strike you back
Though my head says don't react
My poor heart just screams attack, attack, attack
The snow is falling out the back
You say it's white, I say it's black
I wish that I could just relax and act like that means nothing

Like a boxer who goes one fight too far
I'm staring at the ceiling, but I'm looking at the stars
I'm a man who believes he's always right
No ground is worth conceding without a fight
And I wish that I could tell you that I love you so
I wish that I could say you look beautiful
I wish that I could fill you with that happy glow
But I can't cos I've got too many punches left to throw
