[Verse 1]
I used to look to the yes-man
To justify my plans
I thanked him when he lied to me
I gladly shook his hand
Now it's plain to see
Such empty reverie
Is about as sweet as a nectar gone bad

[Verse 2]
I used to look to my idol
To lead my ship ashore
I was determined to believe
Every prayer's accounted for
Now it's plain to see
Only the wind was listening
And I gotta ride this tide once more

[Chorus]
Back to the other side of zero
Which card shall it be?
A compliment or an insult
It's all just the same to me, to me
Whatever shall be, shall be

[Verse 3]
I used to hide from the future
Like a child running from the tide
I could dream of nothing darker
Than to look fate in the eye
So scared of the worst
That the best just passed me by
[Verse 4]
And the grass ain't always greener
On the other end
First you gotta make it over
Just to see how sweet it's been
Just when you think you've hit
It's time to roll the dice again
And again, and again, and again

[Chorus]
Back to the other side of zero
Which card shall it be?
A compliment or an insult
It's all just the same to me

[Bridge]
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be
Oh, whatever shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be
Oh, whatever shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be, shall be, shall be
[Outro]
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be, shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be
Whatever shall be, shall be
