So now she's on her way
home from work alone for dinner
close the door to the microwave
underneath that phone that just won't ring
-
sittin' on the bus
stare a hole right through the floor
listening to the squeaky door
open and close at a stop that's never fine
-
they say if it's well enough
just leave it alone and they would never
think to call your bluff
the lie believed 'til your standing all exposed
-
(chorus)
oh you'll confide
and all those fools will slide
between you and i
(yeah) between you and i
-
i've seen that look before
on someone else
years ago and it's come
around again
-
excuse me while i place
a blame on you the game has conjured now
-
and it never was your fault
the wind just seemed to carry the spit your way
-
(chorus)
my time is spent
so all those years can blend
between you and i
-
(chorus)
why'd you confide?
then all your friends can slide
between you and i
between you and i
between you and i
between you and i
-
well the effort to forget
and nature's moving far too slow
the effort to forget
i still recall the effort to forget
