lyrics

Yeah it could've been a good night,
But now it's just a dead one,
Yeah we could've got the green light,
But now it's just a red one,
We could've seen the sunrise,
But now just watch the rain come,
We could've been alright,
But now it's just frustration.

We're far too young,
We're never gonna die,
We're far too dumb,
And we'll never recognise,
That it's no fun,
Trying to make a compromise,
We look so cool,
While we're wearing our disguise.

No dice.

I thought it was a bad time,
But now I know it's over,
I thought you'd had a few wines,
But now I know you're sober,
Thought I saw you in a red light,
But now it's getting colder,
We must be missing all these signs,
Cause now we're getting closer.

We're far too young,
We're never gonna die,
We're far too dumb,
And we'll never recognise,
That it's no fun,
Trying to make a compromise,
We look so cool,
While we're wearing our disguise.

No dice.

We're far too young,
We're never gonna die,
We're far too dumb,
And we'll never recognise,
That it's no fun,
Trying to make a compromise,
We look so cool,
While we're wearing our disguise.

No dice.
