Lyrics
Verse 1
All the stories never told
All the lies that we unfold
All the times we've never had
All the good times and the bad
All the lives we'll never lead
All the hunger and the greed
All the strangers that we'll meet
All the lovers that we'll keep
Link
I will never turn around
i will never let you down
I will never let you burn
Chorus
In our instant world
our instant world
Verse 2
All the pictures that you see
All the nights that you cant sleep
All the fires that rage inside
I will be right by your side
All the oceans you can't swim
That sinking feeling settles in
All the messages belie
This is your life that's rushing by
Link
I will never turn around
i will never let you down
I will never let you burn
Chorus
In our instant world
our instant world
Bridge
And as your screen it fades away
And we all fade to grey
You'll realise, but oh so late
That a life it must be made
It must be something that you do
And not something just to view!
Link
I will never turn around
i will never let you down
I will never let you burn
Chorus
In our instant world
our instant world
In our instant world
our instant world
