| Lyrics: | On my way back from a wedding I drove round some of the old streets
I got swept up by the
memories of cold nights and warm sheets
I parked outside the house we'd lived in, I tried to
think of all the pain
But all I remembered was the laughter and the precious trust we can't
reclaim
There are no second prizes and there will be no consolation wreath
We may as
well miss by a mile as miss by the skin of our teeth
They all thought we were some sure
thing
I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring
Chorus:
But nothing's written
in rock, I know I'm not the one
Was I just the great pretender
Written in rock, there was
no battle won, only a mutual surrender
No guarantees, that's all right
If I was gonna
stay I would have stayed all night
Bye bye love, you were so damn right
Nothing's written
in rock, nothing's written in rock
You finally learned the deep dark secret, that I knew
you were waiting for
So I watched the death of innocence of the young dreamer at life's
door
This world can tear your soul to pieces, if you give it half a chance
There are no
rules to remember, there are no written steps to the dance
I don't believe in fate, I
don't believe in blind luck on the draw
I don't believe in love, I mean I don't believe
anymore
They all thought we were the real thing
I had the bloody coat and the wedding
ring
chorus
I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless
Pointing the
direction to the great promised land
I remember me all petrified and restless
Wondering
what you were hiding in the other hand
Everybody keeps a lonely heart and everybody gets
that feeling
Everybody needs another heart
To give a little bit of healing to a battered
soul
Oh, nothing's written in rock, oh
chorus
Oh, nothing's written
in rock, oh
