lyrics

Hey lover
What’s the quietness for
Have we both given up
Sitting in restaurants mumbling
Stirring cold coffee cups
Just like the couples we used to look at
Who you would cruelly mock
Would we be deluded if we tried
To deceive the dreaded clock

You tell me that I’m broken
So then why is my heart open
Only for the ones who care
'Cause I can spot devotion
Oh, and when the feeling’s stolen
From someone who wants to share
Listen to reason, please
And give me back all of the freedom
That you’ve sadly wasted
Faced with the fear we’re over rated
And tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do

Hey lover
What’s the quietness for
The echoes stalk each day
Living as though there’s nothing left
But a constant state of grey
Hiding from troubles we used to laugh at
As the tick conspires to tock
Would we anger cupid if we tried
To deceive the dreaded clock

Every word I’ve spoken
Hoping love is not a slogan
That you use to clear the air
When the passion’s frozen
Token, lacking in emotion
Far too weak to truly bear
Take on your demons, defeat them
Remember what you once believed in
Something almost sacred
Face it, nothing will replace it
Oh, and tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do

It’s no secret, we can’t pretend
That we’re destined for a happy end
Keep repeating every ‘fail’
Or aim for something that will prevail

All the lies you’ve woven
Chosen to reduce the ocean
That exists between us pair
Take all those bitter moments
Own them, both of us have known them
Say you’re sorry if you dare
Make this the season that we can
Go back to serving the dream
And forget all the hatred, erase it
There’s no need to embrace it
Just tell me what are we to do
Tell me what are we to do?
