King and a Pawn
tell me the point of seeing the other side
flipping a coin trying to decide
if i should listen to the voice
that's telling me to take it all in stride
you're an opponent of a certain kind
soft on the surface making me nervous
about what's behind the poetic language
seems like you're spinning silk with every line
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
best we could do
how long's it gonna take for you to choose
what to hold on to and what you can afford to lose
if you pursue the fight over the sacrifice
it only proves
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
hard to break the habit of staying static
and automatically letting things slide
into complacency
cruising aimlessly
just to say we tried
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
flipping a coin trying to decide
if i should listen to the voice
that's telling me to take it all in stride
you're an opponent of a certain kind
soft on the surface making me nervous
about what's behind the poetic language
seems like you're spinning silk with every line
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
best we could do
how long's it gonna take for you to choose
what to hold on to and what you can afford to lose
if you pursue the fight over the sacrifice
it only proves
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
hard to break the habit of staying static
and automatically letting things slide
into complacency
cruising aimlessly
just to say we tried
all we got left
is a king and a pawn
we're caught in a stalemate, baby
and that's just what's wrong
cornering each other
avoiding every move
refusing to surrender
even when it's the best we could do
