lyrics

I'm known for making wild vows
And laying out grand plans
That push a bit too hard a bit too soon

You're known to bullshit with the best
In several foreign tongues
At once
Without batting an eye

I always need a reason
I get lonely and need some company
I always need a reason
To forgive and forget
Open up and admit
What I want

Let's stay face to face
I'll tell you truths and you will tell me secrets
Let's stay face to face
Just for now

I've played this game enough to know
To make disclaimers for myself
So: I cry at the drop of hats

You show your faith in me
With constant consolation
And a touch
Of adoration I love

I always need a reason
I get lonely and need some time for me
I always need a reason
To make old bonds and new
And find debts to accrue
For the years

Let's stay face to face
I'll give you dreams, you'll give me courage
Let's stay face to face
Just for now

I've learned to back away sometimes
And to accept that people change
So maybe we'll endure
Or maybe we will fade
And only pop up through the years
To see if we've each made the grade
There's no way to tell
Relationships are bloody hell
What marvelous insight!
But it's all we have, for tonight

So let's stay face to face
I'll give you thoughts, you'll give me musings
Let's stay face to face
You and me
