Oh, my lover, look what you've done You've gone and took your love away It seemed to me the only way out was run Despite your trying to beg me to stay It started as an honest attraction Began under the guise of a flirt 'Til you were screaming at the edge of the bed "Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt!" You said, "Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, you hurt me so" Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath, I'll be dreaming she's easy We can always say we tried If we both come clean, maybe then you can please me Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath as the thought of her drags us down She cries like a baby But she only learned to dream in sound Oh, my lover, the clock runs slow Ever since the day you went away And though I've tried a hundred ways to forget you Still the emptiness is always the same No matter who is laying beside me All it does is make me wish it were you And if I close my eyes tight, I can almost pretend And for a moment it's as if it were true You said, "Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, please don't go Come back baby, you hurt me so" Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath, I'll be dreaming she's easy We can always say we tried If we both come clean, maybe then you can please me Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath as the thought of her drags us down She cries like a baby And she only learned to dream in sound You can pin it all on me The blame is mine to bear With all the things I've done to you We're far beyond repair But still, sometimes I think of us And how things fell apart And how you knew from the first kiss That I would break your heart Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath, I'll be dreaming she's easy We can always say we tried If we both come clean, maybe then you can please me Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath as the thought of her drags us down She cries like a baby But she only learned to dream in sound Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath, I'll be dreaming she's easy We can always say we tried If we both come clean, maybe then you can please me Wake me on the other side You can hold your breath as the thought of her drags us down She cries like a baby But she only learned to dream in sound
