Separate Grooves

A little child

With a mischievous smile

It used to be so cute

But that's been awhile

I don't have the line

To put out one more fire

Was it fun? maybe some

Doesn't matter now

You've cultivated kindling

Now please show me how to

To ignite

It feels right

To join you in fulfilling our remaining desire

Right now

Ooh baby all the miles of implosions

Have knocked us onto separate grooves

So you keep riding through the motions

I'm starting anew

Someday after years of devotion

And taking every step to improve

I hope you'll catch on to the notion

The problem was you

Kept a stiff upper lip

Through the misses and hits

Your planted audience participant

Cheering on disappointment

Was a steady pursuit

And now here you stand

Extending an empty hand

Begging for unrequited benevolence

But I won't

Waste the air

To evoke

Some awareness

From you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ooh baby all the miles of implosions

Have knocked us onto separate grooves

So you keep riding through the motions

I'm starting anew

Someday after years of devotion

And taking every step to improve

I hope you'll catch on to the notion

The problem was you

Ooh baby all the miles of implosions

Have knocked us onto separate grooves

So you keep riding through the motions

I'm starting anew

Someday after years of devotion

And taking every step to improve

I hope you'll catch on to the notion

The problem was you

Ooh baby all the miles of implosions

Have knocked us onto separate grooves

So you keep riding through the motions

I'm starting anew

Someday after years of devotion

And taking every step to improve

I hope you'll catch on to the notion

The problem was you
