lyrics

Some days he'd wake in a restless way
She was the only thing that'd start his day
Even though they were miles and miles away
Though they were only friends there'd always seemed more
Broken stolen glances, eyes shoot to the floor
And in time life asked their paths, what for?

And he moved and she cried
And she booed and he signed
If she was through he would die
Both of them hurt inside

She says "let's just get one thing clear,
This whole thing, it's plutonic, hear?"
Then the love that lets them hear each other dims
He squeezes his fists, feels it's up to him
Should he fight for her or let her win?
Then the love that lets them hear each other dims

What to do? Should he try?
She lets him lose, and he cries
If he was through she would die
Both of them hurt inside

She says "all of this time as our lives unwind,
I been searching for a feeling I could not find,
In my heart or down deep inside"
He says "maybe deep down we're both only four,
I'd have chased you round the slide till I couldn't no more.
Now I'll count to ten, hide my eyes, and say good bye."

No one moves, just their eyes.
They're both free but still tied
To memories of their times
Both of them hurt inside

Days go by them both sigh
Would it have worked if they tried?
There hearts scream they both tried
But in the end all things die
