Lyrics

When you both wake up
And it's understood
That you're hanging on
For the common good
And the one way out
Is a lonely road
So you both back down
And do as you're told
But the tension builds
And you both lose sight
Of the love that fades
In the compromise
And the feeling that you get
Is a feeling of regret
But the reason you're still here
Is the reason you forget
There's a calmness in the air
That we've come to just expect
It is slowly coming into view
From the summertime of love
To the dark clouds we accept
Is there nothing else that we can do?
And the feeling that I get
Is a feeling of regret
But the reason I'm still here
Is the reason I forget
When we both wake up
And it's understood
That we're hanging on
For the common good
And the one way out
Is a lonely road
So we both back down
And do as we're told
But the tension builds
And we both lose sight
Of the love that fades
In the compromise
When we both wake up
And it's understood
That we're hanging on
For the common good
And the feeling that we get
Is a feeling of regret
