we're sitting in between our eyes
when i notice
there's no friction
in these december skies
oh i wonder why
we can't continue our own lives

our chance past
i just want to know it
but then you go away
so many things left for another day
but i want to last
i won't just show it
i can't remember why
but i hope you had your say

it's always about this time
when i start to think about
all those things
i know you could do without
you left me standing here
i can't face this fear
who cares
i guess that's what you say

why has this all gone wrong
i'd never think to notice
but then you were gone
now i'm left alone
standing in the cold

why has this all gone wrong
i'd never think to notice
but then you were gone
now i'm left alone
standing in the cold
in the cold

i saw it
i guess you knew it
it only happens once
i just can't do it
i saw it
i guess you knew it
it only happens once
i see right through it

that only goes to show
expectations that were once so high always end up below
you had me turning red
we'll never fall apart
that's what she said
what she said

why has this all gone wrong
i'd never think to notice
but then you were gone
now i'm left alone
standing in the cold

why has this all gone wrong
i'd never think to notice
but then you were gone
now i'm left alone
standing in the cold
in the cold
