l remember it 
Dublin in a rainstorm at night.
Sitting in the long grass in the summer 
Keeping warm.
I remember it 
Every restless night.
We were so young then 
We thought that everything 
We could possibly do was right.

Then we moved 
Stolen from our very eyes 
And I wondered where you went to 
and tell me when did the light die? 
You will rise 
You'll return 
The phoenix from the flame 
You will learn 
You will rise 
You'll return 
Being what you are 
There is no other Troy 
For you to burn.

And I never meant to hurt you 
I swear I didn't mean 
Those things I said 
I never meant to do that to you 
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead.

Oh, does she love you 
What do you want to do? 
Does she need you like I do? 
Do you love her? 
Is she good for you? 
Does she hold you like I do? 
Do you want me? 
Should I leave? 
I know you're always telling me 
That you love me 
Just sometimes I wonder 
If I should believe.

Oh, I love you 
God, I love you 
I'd kill a dragon for you 
and die.
 
But I will rise 
And I will return 
The Phoenix from the flame 
I have learned 
I will rise 
And you'll see me return 
Being what I am 
There is no other Troy 
For me to burn.

And you should've left the light on 
You should've left the light on 
Then I wouldn't have tried 
And you'd never have known 
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter 
No I wouldn't have pulled you close 
I wouldn't have screamed 
"No I can't let you go" 
if the door wasn't closed.
 
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me 
No I wouldn't have kissed your face 
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you 
If we hadn't been there in the first place 
Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh 
Every look that you threw told me so.
 
But you should've left the light on 
You should've left the light on 
And the flames burned away 
But you're still spitting fire 
Make no difference what you say 
You're still a liar 
You're still a liar 
You're still a lawyer
