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 night before
As your tears hit the ground blue flowers spring from them
Baby, Im ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, Im ashamed of the man I was for youAnd 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 doHow fast must we run
Before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run
Before they do not recognize us?So lets take this from the start
Youll be me and Ill be you
And lets try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart, and my distant heart, and my distant heartAnd 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 doToo many mirrors in this house
And I don't like to see myself like this
I'm becoming the man I used to be
I guess these walls could tell you a thing or two
Things that you really don't want to know
Lend me your eyes for your point of view
Lend me your feet and I'll stand by youAnd 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
