Lyrics

We're only still together 'cause we're lonely
We're only still together 'cause we're tired
We're only still together 'cause
We just ain't got nobody else to try

Is it you or is it me?
Is it just our apathy?
Are we just too scared to do it right?
Every day the buzzer rings
We spend it doing different things
What time are you coming home tonight?

I know you and you know me and this is how I walk
I know you've got one foot out the door
Everything looks perfect upon a printed sheet
But tell me, what are we together for?

Sundays and Saturdays
Wake up, go our separate ways
Always got a rabbit left to chase
Sorting out the present tense
Cataloging evidence
A place for things, for everything a place

It's never confrontational
But it used to be sensational to me
