It's not a matter of finding out exactly how we feel
It's a matter of disasters that have followed us both here
To the brink of discernment where we dare ourselves to jump
Keeping steady hands on both our guns defending what we've lost
[Chorus:]
You're not her
I'm not him
Let's hold it together
And keep it in just for tonight
Running out of distractions, running out of things to say
Diverting eyes to almost anything to keep my hands away
If I'm with you much longer, there's no telling what we'll do
Face to face with this temptation, stay and face the fall with you
A different case, another place
And we would not waste this much time
But time is what we must afford
Just pull it back, keep it intact
I'll keep what's mine, you keep what's yours
Or we'll repeat what came before
