Released: December 4, 1997
For every hour we've wasted
Pretendin' we're indifferent
We could be knowin' what we need
Like wadin' through the vagueness
Of sinking where I used to think
I'd lie, the way is never kind
But who can you really believe?
When all you hear is lies
But just face it you and me
Let it ride or die
Oh, let us see the big picture
Ain't no use denyin' who we are
When we've come this far
And I've been guilty of replacin'
My trust in you with words that broke you down
With eyes that taste around
I forgot what I was chasin'
But ran so far, I left myself behind
I'm standin' out of time
I know there's a reason to be out on the edge
With my face below the tide
But the plays never over 'til the actor says
Thank You and good night
Oh, now I see the big picture
There ain't no use denyin' who we are
When we've come this far
But don't even think about it
I won't give up on you
Don't ask me to forget what we've been through
Yeah, we look back on the years of fame
We won't go through that again
We won't be the ones standin' in the rain
Now forget all the lies I said
They never came from the heart
Forget the tears we've shed
Now here comes the hardest part
Oh, now I see the big picture
There ain't no use denyin' who we are
When we've come this far
I won't give any lectures
There ain't no use denyin' who we are
When we've come this far
Oh, when we've come this far
...mmmm...
Nobody said it would be easy
How could we know it'd be so hard?
Oh no. no
But we've come this far
Look at what we've done
Look how far we've come
And a long way to go
Lookin' back at all the pain
We won't go through that again
Oh no
(guitar interlude)
Yeah!
Ooooohhhh
Never never gonna change it
Oh yeah
Never never never change it
Pretendin' we're indifferent
We could be knowin' what we need
Like wadin' through the vagueness
Of sinking where I used to think
I'd lie, the way is never kind
But who can you really believe?
When all you hear is lies

Let it ride or die
