So now shes on her way
Home from work, alone for dinner
You close the door to the microwave
Underneath that phone that just wont ring
Sittin on the bus
Stare a hole right through the floor
Listening to the squeaky door
Open and close at a stop thats never mine
They say if its well enough
Just leave it alone and they would never
Think to call your bluff
The lie believed till youre standing all exposed

Oh, youll confide
And all those fools will slide
Between you and I
Between you and I

Ive seen that look before
On someone else
Years ago and its come
Around again
Excuse me while I place
The blame on you, the game has conjured now
And it never was your fault
The wind just seemed to carry the spit your way

My time is spent
So all those years can blend
Between you and I
Whyd you confide
Now all your friends can slide
Between you and I
Between you and I
Between you and I
Between you and I

The effort to forget
Natures moving far too slow
The effort to forget
I still recall the effort to forget
