"Nobody wants to end up like Eleanor Rigby"

Don't you know that I never fell
Into a love that I was pushed
Confused a snatch for a catch
Confused a sheep for a wolf

Oh, your knowing eyes
They’d never tell a lie
That’s why you don’t talk
That's why I make you try

Let’s say for instance
There is nine years indifference
In a world that lacks persistence
To make things come around
Let’s say for instance
There were nine years of distance
Where other people touched you
Long before I was found

I got into something, now I can’t get out
I got into something, now I can’t get out
With your lips pressed against mine
It’s getting hard to shout

I thought I could run around the world
I made it to the door
I thought I could run around the world
I made it to the door
Was this what we hoped for?
