What can I say?
Why do we starve a thing that's near extinction?
From day to day
These weeds of fear
Are choking our conviction
Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle
(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

What can we do?
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
It's up to you
Start holding hands and watch the balance redress
Life's like a firework
You're only lit once
And you must stand and radiate correctly
(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
Love's not a product you can hoard or pack a suitcase with
It's more a way you have to give

Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle
(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
(All of a sudden)
We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden)
We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden)
We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden)
We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden)
We find that we've lost love
It's
It's
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
