He Has Arrived

It was midnight Dancing city lights surround He was waiting To play the only game in town And he thought of you quite often As he reached out for the stars He had arrived Hoping to be better than before He had survived The long goodbyes, the reasons why he had come Searching How to look and how to feel Good connections Just one more lie to close the deal And he always heard you calling Never lost you in the crowd He had arrived Hoping to be better than before He had survived He came down to win and not to lose you Now He's only what he appears to be Nothing more Than just the love that you remember long ago He was out to cure a dream When he arrived Home in springtime Another face without a name Some confusion Love's not for three, so who remains And he put the blame on leaving Never gave a second thought He had arrived Hoping to be better than before He had survived When you look into the mirror Is there someone there you hardly recognize When you play the music upside down and inside out Well, do you realize That the meaning hasn't changed It's simply rearranged There's no disguise Wasn't he the one who held you tight Wasn't it you who asked him not to leave your side And it's over What's the point of alibi's Doesn't matter When all the drinks come down to ice And three's a crowd might beat a pair But ace is always high He has arrived And he's better than before He has survived Looks like he has won and you have lost him now
