Song Lyrics

Hey hey! Hey hey!

A man stands alone arms across his chest,
His heart pounding through his bones.
Denial wasn't supposed to be this way.
His passion fell to the ground
But beauty couldn't be found another way, another way.

Well only his answer would tell the story.
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But denial seemed so beautiful
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But providence took its hold

Hey hey!

Tears drown his eyes, a puddle of shame at his feet
As the reflection of guilt overwhelms a broken man.
Dissent was all he had and he needed a reason to believe
This doesn't happen to only me.

Well only his answer would tell the story.
(Wake up and see we're all the same!)
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But denial seemed so beautiful
(Seemed (Seemed) So (So) Beautiful)
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But providence(Providence!)took its hold

An electric pulse you can't escape
A force that rules the human race
Hold the hand of Providence
An electric pulse you can't escape
A force that rules the human race
Tonight the stars tell no fortunes, they tell no fortunes

Well only his answer would tell the story.
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But denial seemed so beautiful
Three times were all he had to say yes
Say yes say yea yea yea
But providence took its hold

Took took took!
Took it's hold. Hey!

Three times, Three times, Three times!
