Intro

And we could ride all night

To the pace of the blinking light

Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)

Keeping safe distance, but courting disaster

We could dance all night

To the sounds of a starting fight

Hoping change would come around (change would come around)

Amazing division, how sweet the sound

Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

Hate me, hate me, hate me

For every honest word that you've postponed

Leave me out of this

Your life's a sinking ship, so

Blame me, blame me, blame me

For mistakes you've made but you can't own

And we could stare all day

At problems that won't go away

Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)

You're wearing me down, these corners they're rounding

Then we could scream all night

With no resolve still left in sight

Stop saying you're sorry

All of these words feel so very empty

Chorus

Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse

If you're the rope that ties us together

Please make me a noose

Ask me to leave

Then beg me just to stay

Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away

Come and go as you please

I'm like a part-time lover with well-worn knees

Well, come on

Chorus
