This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Show me, show me, show me what love can do anyhow
Show me, show me, show me what love can do anyhow
And admit it from now on, and admit it from now on
Here we are again with a head full of great ideas
With the same pledge as every year to mend the tears
There we go again, traced by doubts
And all my dreams are torn between lost and found
I made a vow tonight, when your bridges are burning
I'll stand right by your side, I'll catch your falling
I'm dancing and smiling now with all my friends
But the tears of a starving man show me when to end
Show me, show me, show me what love can do anyhow
And admit it from now on, and admit it from now on
Here we are again with a head full of great ideas
With the same pledge as every year to mend the tears
There we go again, traced by doubts
And all my dreams are torn between lost and found
I made a vow tonight, when your bridges are burning
I'll stand right by your side, I'll catch your falling
I'm dancing and smiling now with all my friends
But the tears of a starving man show me when to end
