There must have been a time
When we were fine
And your were inclined to talk to me
But that was long ago
And now I know
We must agree to disagree

(Shut out the world)
You love your privacy
(Shut out the light)
Even when you’re lying next to me
(Shut out the noise)
I’m tired of treading quietly
Gonna sit right down and write my girl a letter saying

Dear stranger
Do you really love me
I’m getting tired of trying to read your mind
Dear stranger
Do you even like me
I hardly know you after all this time

You’ve got a lot of nerve
You throw that curve
And say I don’t deserve to be with you
And then you turn around
And say we’re sound
But saying doesn’t make it true

(Get in the mood)
And still you flash your eyes
(Get in the car)
Even as you contemplate goodbye
(Get in the game)
I’m tired of being a standup guy
Better check your calls ’cause every one is me saying

It’s very strange
And stranger still
In spite of all
I want you still

(Breaking the ice)
And still you flash your eyes
(Breaking away)
Even as you contemplate goodbye
(Breaking me down)
I’m so tired of being a standup guy
Gonna sit right down and write my scarlet letter saying
