[Verse 1]
We became the parade on the streets that we once cleaned
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
Raised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discover
You're actually just one thing after another
And what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?

[Chorus 1]
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there

[Chorus 2]
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

[Verse 2]
And outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self-preservation was no explanation for anything
But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehend
I'm just starting to understand, my friend
All of that distance, cause I fell in love with the enemy

[Chorus 1]
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there

[Chorus 2]
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

[Bridge]
At last, we meet on no man's land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no man's land, at last

[Chorus 2]
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning

[Outro]
One meaning
Just one meaning

Take That

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
