Lyrics

Darling, you and I always make a bet
To see who'll crash when we reach deep
In the depth of our past
We play the game
Every night, we strut and stride
Round the room, you and I
Every inch of us tight
You went all the way
Called my bluff, threw sand on my flame
Thought I'm to blame
I can't help myself
Take what you did and what you said
Turn it up on its head
I hear you hurt in your sighs
I need time, but I don't really know why
Darling, you and I always make a bet
Strut and stride round the room every night
Every inch of us dies
Take what I do and what I say
Use it on me another day
I can barely even sigh
I need time, but I don't really know
Take what you did and what you said
And turn it up on its head
I hear you hurt in your sighs
I need time, but I don't really know why
Darling, you and I always make this bet
