The Other

Like a spotlight the water hits me
Ran it extra cold to shake the words from my mouth
Though I know that no one's listening
I nervously rehearse for when you're around
And I keep waiting like you might change my mind
Who wrote the book on goodbye
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there's nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart you set the other on fire
Back and forth now I'm feelin' guilty
Cause I just can't stop this pendulum in my head
Though I know that our time is ending
I'd rather lay forever right in this bed
And I keep waiting like you might change my mind
Who wrote the book on goodbye
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there's nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart you set the other on fire
