Pretend that you don't see me
In every girl you meet
And I'll pretend that I'm not looking
For you on every street
I still expect to feel you
Beside me in the night
How long, How long?
Before it starts to feel right
All the wires are crossing, I don't understand
How I'm slipping and your slipping
From the palm of my hand
All the wires are crossing, I don't understand
I was ready, you were ready
We had a perfect plan
We made this whole city
An island of our love
And now it's just a cube of sugar
Melting on my tongue
Pretend that you don't need me
I will do the same
One day it'll be easy
To forget who was to blame
For the wires crossing, I don't understand
How I'm slipping and your slipping
From the palm of my hand
All the wires are crossing, I don't understand
I was ready, you were ready
We had a perfect plan
