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
