Lyrics

[Verse 1] Long days without a face With nothing more to say Closed in your silent room Waiting for better days When the night is coming There's nothing more to do She comes walking in silence Always dressing in blue Your heartbeat seems to fade Don't runaway anymore (ooh woa ooh oh oh) Your anger burns inside That's not the life you ask for (ooh woa ooh oh oh) This is the wind of change There's nowhere to go (nowhere to go) No time, no place to hide Anywhere in the world [Chorus] You can get, you can get what you want Life is so strange and so full of desires [Verse 2] Day by day, try to follow your way The wind of change is burning out the fire Out the fire is burning, out the fire The wind of change is burning out the fire [Chorus] You can get, you can get what you want Life is so strange and so full of desires [Verse 3] Don't waste your time again Too many years have gone (woa ooh oh oh) You are lying in the dark Open yourself to the Sun (woa ooh oh oh) This is the wind of change There's nowhere to go (nowhere to go) No time, no place to hide Anywhere in the world [Chorus] You can get, you can get what you want Life is so strange and so full of desires [Verse 4] Day by day, try to follow your way The wind of change is burning out the fire Out the fire is burning, out the fire The wind of change is burning out the fire [Chorus] You can get, you can get what you want Life is so strange and so full of desires
