Songtexte Shot in the Dark - The Magic Numbers

Tell me, who'd you gonna run to now?
What if this is it, till we turn around?
There's a ladder to the stars, just step ahead
Don't you wanna take my hand? Take my heart instead

Cryin' out, just wanna feel alive
Help me reach the heavens from this hell inside
Did you wrestle with the cross that you banned?
Oh, and Jesus 'round your neck, gonna save you here?

Well, I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why we missed the mark?
You say, "Love, it never dies, it just falls apart"

And how do you love me when you fall apart?
Go and start a revolution with this heavy heart
Seems that you have tattooed every tear that's on your face
Saw you had it up to here, you just couldn't wait

Now baby, I don't know why I feel so helpless
(Show me what you're hiding from)
Am I man enough to walk away from this?
I keep searching for some truth, but it don't exist

And I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why we missed the mark?
You say, "Love it never dies, it just falls apart"

Oh, and I suppose in time
Your shadows are burning all the demons in your soul
'Cause you surrendered to the fear of letting go
You knew it was hard
Right from the start

Tell me, who'd you gonna run to now?
Who'd you gonna run to now?

Well, I suppose that life's just a shot in the dark
From the moment we arrive, we're just playing a part
And that longing never dies, it's there from the start
You don't know the reason why, but it tears you apart

And if loving is denied, it will shatter your heart
And if loving is denied, it will shatter your heart
Every truth that you can find, it still comes apart
Oh-ho

Well, I suppose that I
Must drown all the demons, till they're burning through your soul
And you left crying? Oh, they'll never let me go
Are you still trying? Oh, they'll never let you go

Hoo-oh-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho
Hoo-oh-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
Hoo-oh-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
(Ho-ho-ho)

Oh, well I'm
I'm just a shot in the dark
Oh, well I'm
I'm just a shot in the dark
Just a shot in the dark
