lyrics

Let’s put it in context
You say we’ve been “talking”
Eleven weeks now
We’ve been a cat inside a box
Are we living, dead, or lost
Oh, we barely speak now

You say I’m unprepared
Nothing gets by you
I’ll admit I’m scared
Baby so are you
And in a million years
Will the stars align?
Or will I still be here
At the starting line

If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?

While we’re telling white lies
I can say that I tried
What about you?
Dance around the question
Dancing with our eyes shut
Just like we used to

You say I’m unprepared
Nothing gets by you
I’ll admit I’m scared
Baby so are you
And in a million years
Will the stars align?
Or will I still be here
At the starting line

If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?

Are you thinking
What I’m thinking?
Are you thinking
What I’m thinking?

If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?
