when the papers say 
nothing ever happens here
and your brand new friend
has really helped you disappear

well, oh, you said nothing's over 'til it's over
it's something we mutually agreed upon 
so if you're gonna say it out loud
I'll just get used to the sound

and pass the time
pretending that [bad word] around
in the seaside town
that they forgot to bomb down

and, oh, you said nothing's over 'til it's over
that's something I used to be afraid of 
and if you're gonna say it out loud
I'll just get used to the sound

don't ask me if there's gonna be a next time
don't ask me at all
don't ask the stars for anything but ancient light
don't ask them at all

you said nothing's over but it's over
and that's something we used to be afraid of 
so can we say the words out loud
we used to be afraid of
used to be afraid of
used to be afraid of

don't ask me
don't ask me
