Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all
Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the fight before
As your tears hit the ground blue flowers spring from them

Baby I’m ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby I’m ashamed of the man I was for you

And all you said, in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”
And all you said, in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”

How fast must we
Run before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we
Run before they do not recognize us?

So let’s take this from the start
You’ll be me and I’ll be you
And let’s try not to complain about
Your smoking and my distant heart
And my distant heart
And my distant heart

And all you said in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”
And all you said, in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”

And all you said in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”
And all you said, in your quietest voice was
“I needed you as much as they do”
