We ain't eye to eye, you see
You're the one that's missin' me
And we can't seem to get this one quite right

But you tell yourself it'll be just fine
You just need a drink, couple glasses of wine
Or whatever it is that helps you sleep at night

So somethin' or another's gonna have to give
Before you just snap and I blow my lid
And this whole thing ends up as one big mess

Somethin's gotta change and it's gotta happen soon
We're stuck right here inside this room
Fifty Fifty, no more, no less

Can't win
Stuck in between nothing and space
Floating aimlessly
Trapped here with all the other wingless flies
Death is the final freedom
When will I be set free?

All the world is quiet
But there's a stranger at my door
Should I go, this beckoning call
We'll see just what's in store

Take me back 'round yonder
With a big smile on your face
Keep me still with steady breath
Don't forget your place

**** your intuition
Hang it on your wall
All I want's a little taste
You're a stranger after all

I'll meet you in the valley
Where strangers go to roam
We'll swim in toxic waters
We'll call this box a home

You'll know me like no other
Get into my head
You'll be my bread and butter
The stranger in my bed

One day will come a parting
And a meeting of the two
When strangers disappear from here
There's only me and you

Years and years of messin'
Around in your bedroom
Have got me contemplatin'
'Bout seein' you real soon

****'s so complicated
Rendered me a fool
But that's the price you pay
When you've broken all the rules

Struttin' down the sidewalk
Grinnin' ear to ear
Singin' about makin' love
The comin' of the year

The spark between us set this place on fire
Make our escape through the back door screen
By the time they count us missing
Long gone, never to be seen

Makin' eyes through your dark sunglasses
Speed down the lane with the windows down
As far out west as the roads will take us
Keep goin' til there ain't no ground

Ride away off into the moonlight
No where to go, with plenty of time
All or nothin baby take it or leave
The only way I knew, to make you mine

You never really were the one for me
There's no goin back to how we used to be
We faked everything we are
I can't believe we let it go this far

Stayed up all night when we first met
Now it seems that there ain't no words left
The days are hot and the nights are long
Dreamin' about where we went wrong

There ain't no sense, in tryin' to fix
Something that never fit together in the first place
Knew from the start we were destined to fail
I'm looking at a stranger when I see your face

I feel like **** and you do to
I say the words, but I can't get through
And I don't know why, we still try
How much more, til you say goodbye?

You cut my heart, time heals all wounds
But time doesn't touch the melody of your tunes
Ever present to remind me of the times we had
Please don't be mad
But I don't wanna hear it no more
Let's settle the score, I was never a *****
Just lonely, looking for someone to touch me the way you did
Half-grin, spin me around on this pedestal you put me on
So long, gone, into the night, where there is no light
To shed the truth on your motives, I voted
It's over. You can't fix that which isn't broken
Face it, you're too late. You ****** fate.
Skipped that date, showed up late, but cleared your plate.
How does it feel now, wondering how
You got where you are, as I drive your car
You don't see the sky, only pitch black dye
You never cry, You're a robot
Who forgot how to feel, just stop the clock
Time's up

— The End —
