Checkmate - Bag Raiders, Benjamin Joseph

Passage is marking time

We make out, this is the way we are

Looking into each other’s eyes

How can we be so apart?

And I have a sort it’s feeling this way

Never thought we’d be so far off track

And I know there’s never one to blame

And we’ve gone too far to turn back

It was so easy at the start

Keeping those secrets from my heart

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it

And now it all seems so black and white

And there’s no way to make it right

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it now

Look at a strip teal wall

Sinking below the grass

How can we let it go so easy

Give it our very best

We thought that it would be so different

Always promised to avoid the black

And I know there’s never one to blame

And we’ve gone too far to turn back

It was so easy at the start

Keeping those secrets from my heart

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it

And now it all seems so black and white

And there’s no way to make it right

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it now

Getting tired to fall

I think we’re getting closer

We touch

But I start sinking

We’ve been playing games too long

I think that this could be the end

Of our love

It was so easy at the start

Keeping those secrets from my heart

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

And now it all seems so black and white

And there’s no way to make it right

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

It was so easy at the start

Keeping those secrets from my heart

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it

And now it all seems so black and white

And there’s no way to make it right

Ohh Ahh Ahh

It’s a checkmate

We just don’t know it now
