Trial separation, many days and nights
I sat and thought about our plight
And what I think is maybe that we need a change
Though sometimes you make me feel I'd rather be alone
We've got too much to throw it all away
We tried talking it all out, even gone around the world
But that didn't make it better
Tell me how do we save what matters?
Maybe we should try separating
'Cause it ain't working, baby
(Baby)
You and me being so close all the time
Maybe by separating
We can take a good look at saving
Love that it took us so long to find
Maybe where we're at is the result of moving fast
You see it's so hard to tell when you're in love
But looking back on what has happened since back then
I wonder if that's really what it was
We're leaving out a complex situation
We can't deny the way I feel and you feel for me
Maybe we're just too close to see, oh
Maybe we should try separating
'Cause it ain't working, baby
('Cause it ain't working out)
You and me being so close all the time
(Maybe we're just too close to see)
Maybe by separating we can take a good look at saving
(You and me)
Love that it took us so long to find
Oh, ooh, what are we gonna do?
Maybe we should try separating
(Me and you babe)
'Cause it ain't working, baby, baby
You and me being so close all the time
(Maybe we're just to close all the time)
Maybe by separating
We can take a good look at saving
Love that it took us so long to find
Girl, we've got too much
We've come too far to say goodbye
Let's step back take a look
And maybe then we'll realize what we had, baby
What we have
