Spell It Out Lyrics - Embrace

Here's my list of all the things I should have said and done 

The boats I missed and all the fights I lost, I really should have won 

And I'm not the only one 

But I won't bow or take the world as you would hand it down 

So leave me out of all your plans 'cause I don't need them now 

I'll find my own way out 

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose 

That's when they'll come looking for me and you 

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new 

It was all laid out just for me and you now 

Wave goodbye I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me 

Spell it out so everyone can see 

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free 

My hands are tied and I can't find my feet 

Sit by me for long enough and watch your enemies 

Float downstream one by one until you realize you're free 

There's no one left but me 

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose 

That's when they'll come looking for me and you 

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new 

It was all laid out just for me and you now 

Wave goodbye 'cause I know I'll believe if you spell it out for me 

Spell it out so everyone can see 

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free 

My hands are tied and I can't find my feet 

This sweet old world will give it out until it's time to leave 

I won't hurt for you when all you want's a flawless victory 

How wrong could anyone be? 

'Cause when you're left with nothing, there's nothing left to lose 

That's when they'll come looking for me and you 

Once we wanted nothing and everything was new 

It was all laid out just for me and you now 

Wave goodbye, I know that I'll believe if you spell it out for me 

Spell it out so everyone can see 

All that really matters now to me is that I could set you free 

My hands are tied and I can't find my feet
