Lyrics:
You and I were soul mates, you and I were friends,
We'd see each other Monday through to Friday and weekends.
Some would call us crazy, some would call us fools,
For dragging out the honeymoon and messing with the rules.

Busted breaks and fire escapes, things we should have known,
You and I betrayed by what we tried to set in stone.

Is the glass half empty? Are we seeing straight?
Drinking deep has only brought us closer to this fate.
We spend our lives in slumber, spend our lives asleep,
Glimpses of a perfect world in dreams we cannot keep.

Who would have thought it would turn out this way?
The signs were there but we waved them all away.
Turn on the lights, let the darkness disappear,
Show the love we thought we had, here.
We fight like cat and dog, tooth and nail,
What's a dog without a bone, or a cat without a tail?
So we resolve to make amends, we resolve to learn,
There's comfort in hypocrisy, while better bridges burn.
