lyrics
Lately we've been acting like strangers
We never show our feelings
Or say the things we mean
It's hard to admit
But maybe it's time to quit pretending cause
We both know
It's better letting go
There's no point hanging on
To what used to be
Why can't we see
It's better letting go
It's crazy to sit here in silence
Counting off the seconds
The beating of our hearts
When there's no more to give
There's no easy way to live together
We both know
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go
No matter how we fake it
This love has faded
The feeling has gone
It's time to move on
It's no good looking back
It's better letting go
There's no point hanging on
To what used to be
Why can't we see
It's better letting go
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go
We never show our feelings
Or say the things we mean
It's hard to admit
But maybe it's time to quit pretending cause
We both know
It's better letting go
There's no point hanging on
To what used to be
Why can't we see
It's better letting go
It's crazy to sit here in silence
Counting off the seconds
The beating of our hearts
When there's no more to give
There's no easy way to live together
We both know
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go
No matter how we fake it
This love has faded
The feeling has gone
It's time to move on
It's no good looking back
It's better letting go
There's no point hanging on
To what used to be
Why can't we see
It's better letting go
It's better letting go
It's time to walk away
And start again
This makes no sense
It's better letting go

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤

"A Journey Back" reminds me some of "Oil on Canvas" Japan's instrumentals, explorated to its own achievement and colors.
