too bad for us

And it crept up on us in the way that it does

And the moment disappeared

In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust

Now the roses don't grow here

I guess that love does what it wants

And that's just too bad for us

Was it all just sleight of hand?

Another trick that fate has played on us again

Two heads in the sand

I hear you talking, but I just can't understand

Caught in no man's land between the wires

Coming under friendly fire

Can't go forward, can't go back again (back again)

And it crept up on us in the way that it does

And the moment disappeared

In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust

Now the roses don't grow here

I guess that love does what it wants

And that's just too bad for us

Flying high with both eyes closed

Almost touched the sun, I guess we got too close

Now I'm dancing on my own

But the music's not as good when you're alone

Caught in no man's land between the wires

Coming under friendly fire

Can't go forward, can't go back again

And it crept up on us in the way that it does

And the moment disappeared

In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust

Now the roses don't grow here

I guess that love does what it wants

And that's just too bad for us

We wanna talk, but we don't wanna listen

We play pretend, but we both know it's missing

If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute

At least that's what I tell myself

We wanna talk, but we don't wanna listen

We play pretend, but we both know it's missin'

If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute

At least that's what I tell myself

And it crept up on us in the way that it does

And the moment disappeared

In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust

Now the roses don't grow here

I guess that love does what it wants

And that's just too bad for us
