Reputations

You are an infinite distance from
Where we started and where I finished
I guess it's all in the point of your perspective
From mine, I'm at the finish line dancing on my own again
I'm so selfish

You always said you'd give me something to sing about
Was that a promise or a threat?
It doesn't matter now
Could've found it all out by reading all the books you read
Your pauses in the commas, man, you're so good at reciting it
I'm so selfish

But every time we talk, I lose the feeling
Think you lost enough to finally get out of it
Every time we talk, I lose the feeling
Think you lost enough to finally get out of it
To finally quit it

All our friends say this city is like a speed trap
They catch you when you're running late and trying to beat traffic
Do you think you'll ever find your way out of it?
All of your shortcuts seem to take you right back to the start again
I'm so selfish then

But every time we talk, I lose the feeling
Think you lost enough to finally get out of it
Every time we touch, I get the feeling
Think you lost enough to finally get out of it
To finally quit it

Until all of our friends see that's something's wrong
I can keep it quiet, we can call it a draw
Keep your reputation for when you really need it
Say your heart's breaking and it's all my fault
Babe, you beat me to it, couldn't even call?
Keep your reputation for when you really need it
Keep your reputation for when you really need it
Keep your reputation for when you really need it
