As We Lie
The day has gone away
Like strangers passing us by and we say goodbye
But the footprints they stay
Leaving the mess and the dirt and memories behind
And people are strange
Like a bedsheet when crumpled
Like a closet when unarranged
Or a fire out of flame
Ran out of light out of sight, ooh what a shame
Things have to be this way
We swing and we sway
Out of line and out of plane
We're tossing and turning away
Through nights and the days as we lie
The night is here to stay, like a guest uninvited, like a raven
Like the flowers so dead, we lay in bed
Wrinkling away like the words we left unsaid
And there is no time
To pick all the pieces and gather what all was mine
Well life is a crime
To love and to learn and to lose ooh that's sublime
Things have to be this way
We swing and we sway, out of line and out of rhyme
We are tossing and turning away
Through nights and the days as we lie
Like strangers passing us by and we say goodbye
But the footprints they stay
Leaving the mess and the dirt and memories behind
And people are strange
Like a bedsheet when crumpled
Like a closet when unarranged
Or a fire out of flame
Ran out of light out of sight, ooh what a shame
Things have to be this way
We swing and we sway
Out of line and out of plane
We're tossing and turning away
Through nights and the days as we lie
The night is here to stay, like a guest uninvited, like a raven
Like the flowers so dead, we lay in bed
Wrinkling away like the words we left unsaid
And there is no time
To pick all the pieces and gather what all was mine
Well life is a crime
To love and to learn and to lose ooh that's sublime
Things have to be this way
We swing and we sway, out of line and out of rhyme
We are tossing and turning away
Through nights and the days as we lie
