lyrics

Let's go back awhile, before it was you and me.
When it was a bit abnormal of us to stay up until three.
You come in, and I'm bothered,
and when you come in, I am not,
and you come into my life quicker than I ever thought,
and we fall. But then you tell me we can't be, no, no,
and you go and blame it all on some stupid theory.
I remember, you said...

We should grab the people that we stand with,
and dance with the people that we can grab.
And I don't understand, what it means, all of this,
but it's raining here too, and I just want to ask;
Do you think the others feel like this?
Or do you think they've succumbed to convenience?
Is it fate or convenience?
Tell me now, how do you feel about it?

We're going downtown, you've never been here before.
And we're well aware we're the children of the lovers who do not love anymore.
And we're lining up now, we planned to buy tickets at the door.
But they tell us that there is only one left, and we know right away
if we'll split or we'll soar

because we would grab the people stand we stand with,
and dance with the people that we can grab,
and we'd know down inside that it's all meaningless,
but it still would be sad, and we don't want that.

So let's go home, my friends are busy tonight,
and it's sad here, to me,
but I can tell that you feel all right,
because this is all new to you.
And suddenly the walls are getting bright.
The color of your soul
It was always this shade, right?
Turn out the light
and let's do this

Grab me, I stand with you
Dance with me, you can have me, oh
and I understand once and for all.
But I have just one simple little question
that you never answered.
You probably don't even remember...

Is it fate or convenience?
You never told me how you feel about
anything
so if you could now, please
tell me
before I let you that far into me
tell me now
please
why are you here
and do you still love me
go on
tell me
tell me
tell me
tell me
me
you
you
you

You.
