They are very correct I'm farily certain of, but this is the one that they played live at Brownies, back in January of 2000. The one they rerecorded for the Fan Club later on goes like this:

I was just sitting there Time in hand I will be the one And it's so easy darling, Please take off and I'll be safe He's all alone outside And if you try too hard then you got to let go I had it all worked out And in the end I'll still be alone

In your eyes And it is no big surprise Safe in my eye sight, open up the EEEeee...

I wanted all of this And in the end I'll still be alone Atop your hills your face Pass me down a look in your eye And in this beaconing You'll be changing just for me Your screaming says that I'm The one in looking out yours...

I don't know what the harmonizations say, though. I think I hear "Each day, Oohhhh...", but maybe "Each day's over...". I'm not sure, and I may be completely wrong.
