Fractions

One in three you're here
(One in three, you're here to tell me we can't do this)
To tell me we can't do this anymore
(Three for three, I will disagree)Your hair and face against the mirror
As I take the steps to save what's left of me
Someone's out when it's overPeople steal from you
They take anything they chooseIt's good to see you
(I missed you last night)
That's such a lovely color
(It goes with your eyes)Before we fall asleep
(I just wanted to say)
This all seems so easy
But there's choices to makeCan't decide, then look at the faces
(Candlelight)
We're burning the pages
(Ask us why?)
And hurting ourselves with this false start
(Resign yourself)
And always be
(And we pretend)Without the one
(It simply gets easier)
Thing you need
(But it doesn't get easier)
Reading words with no replies
When we have these mornings
Where we can say goodbyeI wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fightI won't
(I won't)
Answer
(Answer)Dancing under starlight glow
No one in the city knows
Confidence can take you
When nerves try to shake you
From going all the way
It's not that farIt's good to see you
(I missed you last night)
That's such a lovely color
(It goes with your eyes)Before we fall asleep
(Just wanted to say)
This all seems so easy
There's choices to makeWe watch the tide roll in
(With cold air and coffeecake)
Holding our words at list
(Stopping the sounds they make)
We know the way to go
(We know each step to take)
To be hereThese words with no replies
Stopping we's and starting I's
This need is killing me
And taking me overI wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fight
