[verse]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air

[chorus]
Did you think I didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

[verse]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive

[chorus]

In this state of disrepair
