lyrics

How about we start this over
Take the numbers down off the board
There’s no other way to get this right
until you and I settle the score

Come on over here and look in me in eye
See the tears welling up inside
Me and you are really exactly the same
looking at each other to blame for everything

you and I have lost our way,
looking out for number one
let’s resolve and move along
say it together
we both were wrong

we came here from the same block
bought our lemonheads from the same damn shop
got ourselves a habit out back behind the school
smoking all your grandma’s Kools

Somehow we got twisted
The truth came by, and we missed it
Face to face, eye to eye,
both of us falling on the same damn knife

Why do we do this to each other?
Why can’t we love each other?

You and I have lost our way
Looking out for Number one
Lets resolve and move along
Say it together
