Your reasons are building blocks,
In a child’s playroom,
Mixed with whiskey on the rocks.
Please open your eyes and look,
We’re on different pages
In a burning book.

And it’s crazy, mystifying,
Even though we both know that
There’s not point in trying.
We’re stuck on a freeway that never ends,
The rainbow only fades and bends -
But we’re falling, falling together.
Let’s pretend this moment can last forever.

My life is a tangled mess,
Like the twisted strap
On my new evening dress.
Our love is a lovely lie,
In a gossip tabloid,
For the whole world to spy.

And you make excuses,
You make the excuses,

Your reasons are lemon drops -
Good til it’s gone, then the feeling stops.

And it’s crazy, mystifying,
Even though we both know that
There’s not point in trying.
We’re stuck on a freeway that never ends,
The rainbow only fades and bends -
But we’re falling, falling together.
Let’s pretend this moment can last forever.

We’re not even in the same parade,
But baby don’t you want to
Come on over, save the day?

And it’s crazy, mystifying,
Even though we both know that
There’s not point in trying.
We’re stuck on a freeway that never ends,
The rainbow only fades and bends -
But we’re falling, falling together.
Let’s pretend this moment can last forever.
