[Intro] [Verse 1] Pretend that you don't see me In every girl you meet And I'll pretend that I'm not looking For you on every street I still expect to feel you Beside me in the night How long, How long? Before it starts to feel right [Chorus] All the wires are crossing, I don't understand How I'm slipping and your slipping From the palm of my hand All the wires are crossing, I don't understand I was ready, you were ready We had a perfect plan [Intro] [Verse 2] We made this whole city An island of our love And now it's just a cube of sugar Melting on my tongue Pretend that you don't need me I will do the same One day it'll be easy To forget who was to blame [Chorus] For the wires crossing, I don't understand How I'm slipping and your slipping From the palm of my hand All the wires are crossing, I don't understand I was ready, you were ready We had a perfect plan [Intro]
