[BLAINE]
I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears

[FINN]
You really had me going
Wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far

[BLAINE]
I believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born

[FINN]
There's not much to examine
There's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why

[BLAINE & FINN]
I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price
The price that I would pay

[FINN & BLAINE]
And everyone keeps asking
What's it all about?
I used to be so certain
And I can't figure out

[BLAINE & FINN]
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason
And only you to blame
Will it ever change?

[BLAINE & FINN]
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price
The price that I would pay

[BLAINE & FINN]
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah

[BLAINE]
Ooh

[BLAINE & FINN]
I've come to find
I may never know

[FINN]
Your changing mind

[BLAINE]
Is it friend or foe?

[BLAINE & FINN]
I rise above
Or sink below

[FINN]
Every time

[BLAINE]
You come and go

[BLAINE & FINN]
Please don't
Come and go
Ooh

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price
The price that I would pay

[BLAINE & FINN]
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah

[BLAINE]
Oooh

[FINN]
I know what you're doing

[BLAINE & FINN]
I see it all too clear
