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
