You had to have it, you could not wait
Now it’s a habit and a tough one to break
Power and passion, fashion and fame
(You were out to get it)
Now you think you might have made a mistake (
You may have reached your limit)
Now you’re up to your neck in it
In so deep you might be swept away
How did it happen, where did you stray?
Limited vision, or twist of fate?
You were the fastest in this rat race
(You set out to win it)
Now too much looks like too little too late
(Is this all there is to it?)
Now you say you see right through it
Stepped in skin deep then got swept away
Maybe it's tragic, maybe heartache
Blackened the magic money can make
It’s an addiction few ever shake
(And til you get through it)
You think love is just some motion to make
Now you see what love means to it
Don’t look back you just got swept away
Swept away
Swept away
Swept away
Swept away
Swept away
Swept away
