Between you and me,
I think it's really sad
How we're singing the same songs,
Humming the same songs,
Don't you see what this means to me?
These are the hard times here to inspire,
Convenient how it always works out this way,
The message you'll find, heart on a wire,
It'll make you say, it'll make you say,
«Oh my god, there must be something left to write
The two best words that sum up my whole life!»
This is the story of our lives,
From the road we sit and watch it pass by,
Is this the best use of my time?
Don't worry, my love, everything's alright,
I'd give just about anything
To know she's waiting for me,
An eye for an eye, a dream for a dream.
The life that I am force fed,
I'm scared of the road ahead,
Have you listened to a word I've said?
The big picture is my dream is dead.
These are the hard times here to inspire,
Convenient how it always works out this way,
The message you'll find, heart on a wire,
Don't you see what this means?
Between you and me,
I think it's really sad
How we're singing the same songs,
Humming the same songs,
Don't you see what this means to me?
I'd give just about anything
To know she's waiting for me,
An eye for an eye, a dream for a dream.
It'll make you say, «Oh god, why was I wrong?
I missed all the meaning while it was spelled out all along.»
