Tekken 2 - Lyrics

Well I never had it coming
And I never had it go my way
No, I wasn't even running
Just waiting for the end of the day

Well, would you come along this time?
Would you put both hands over mine?
Won't you come and lift me up?
Won't you stick around when I get stuck?

Running all the liars and the sellers and the buyers away from me
Fighting all the runners and the beggars that are trying to take from me
Oh, we don't need to wallow in our old selves
We don't need to follow when you're not well
We don't need to wallow 'cause it's no fun
We don't need to follow, follow, follow anyone

Still waiting for the end of the day
Rummage in my pocket, I'm looking for the coins to play

Would you come along this time?
Would you put both hands over mine?
Won't you come and lift me up?
Won't you stick around when I get stuck?

Running all the liars and the sellers and the buyers away from me
Fighting all the runners and the beggars that are trying to take from me
Oh, we don't need to wallow in our old selves
We don't need to follow when you're not well
We don't need to wallow 'cause it's no fun
We don't need to follow, follow, follow anyone

Now we mean it
Now we're teaming up, oh
Now we mean it
Now we've seen enough
We're still standing up
We're still standing up
We're still standing up
We're still standing up
Oh, now we mean it
Now we're teaming up, oh
Now we mean it
Now we've seen enough (seen enough)

Oh, we don't need to wallow in our old selves
We don't need to follow when you're not well
We don't need to wallow 'cause it's no fun
We don't need to follow, follow, follow anyone

The repeated questions of whether someone will "come along this time" or "stick around when I get stuck" show an earnest plea for support and unity. As the song progresses, there's a clear shift towards empowerment and teaming up against negativity. It's a call to reject the negativity of others, stop wallowing in past troubles, and remain confident in oneself. Ultimately, it's a beautiful reminder that with support and determination, we can stand strong and face any challenge together.
