This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I stand alone I'm just a face in the crowd
I get lonely if the truth be said
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
But I try to understand instead
I wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
(Chorus # 1)
It's not to late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're thinking of
It's not to late so don't run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
So I listen for the perfect moment
To rush to you, but my heart's to slow
Everybody here can see me stumble
Better wait until the lights get low
I wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
I wouldn't have to hide behind those doubts I know are true
(Chorus # 2)
It's not to late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the only one your thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you to
But it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
(Repeat Chorus # 1)
I get lonely if the truth be said
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
But I try to understand instead
I wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
(Chorus # 1)
It's not to late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're thinking of
It's not to late so don't run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
So I listen for the perfect moment
To rush to you, but my heart's to slow
Everybody here can see me stumble
Better wait until the lights get low
I wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
I wouldn't have to hide behind those doubts I know are true
(Chorus # 2)
It's not to late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the only one your thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you to
But it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
So hard for me to say
(Repeat Chorus # 1)

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
