lyrics

walking away from you
it's been a block or two
but I might as well be on a plane
I might as well be miles away

when will I see you again?
is it nine-thirty or ten?
eleven-thirty or another day?
I'm always early and you're always late

and it hurts to know that I'm the kind
to lose control
I gave my bones up to your eyes
and laid down
you can wreck my home but do be kind
and leave my soul or just a piece of it inside

it's either you or I
be the one who's gonna save my life

walking up next to you
god it makes me blue
if I were stronger you would make my day
if I were smarter I'd be walking away

and when the party begins
I should be with my friends
but I'm a hundred million rooms away
believing everything you do or say

and it hurts to know that I'm the kind
to lose control
I gave my bones up to your eyes
and laid down
you can wreck my home but do be kind
and leave my soul or some part of it inside

it's either you or I
you or I
it's either you or I
be the one who's gonna save my life

walking a way from you
it's been a block or two
and I'm praying you don't look my way
lord I'm praying I was miles away

I'll never see you again
at least that's what I said
at least until I'm dead and in my grave
between the two of us I'm on my way
