Lyrics

She says she's looking old
I sigh, "my coffee's cold"
She leaves for work with no good-bye

It's like this everyday
It's a little game we play, trying not to notice something's died

When we were 21
Two wild hearts on the run
She made me feel so alive
Three kids and twelve years on
We're here but something's gone
We used to live now we survive

She lays there with her book
I sneak in for a look
The lamp light plays upon her skin
"Love you look good tonight"
She says, "no I hope that's alright
I'm tired I think that I'll just turn in."

Repeat Chorus

I feel like giving up.
