Thought you found a way out
Thought I found a way in
Let the fire burn too long
Some kind of original sin

We were standing on different sides
Too stubborn to change
Reciting the same old lines
From a different page

I want to believe
It was just bad luck
In this timeline that we're on
Things just couldn't line up

And I like to imagine
The 9 thousand
9 hundred
Ninety-nine other times
Everything worked itself out

And the house is as empty now
As it has ever been
I can't remember what we'd fight about
But I guess it's not important

We were standing on different sides
Too stubborn to change
Reciting the same old lines
From a different page

I want to believe
It was just bad luck
In this timeline that we're on
Things just couldn’t line up

And I like to imagine
The 9 thousand
9 hundred
Ninety-nine other times
Everything worked itself out

Tell me where you are and when
And how we, how we get back there again
It’s a long lonely way to the middle
It’s a long lonely way

I want to believe
It was just bad luck
In this timeline that we're on
Things just never lined up

And I like to imagine
The 9 thousand
9 hundred
Ninety-nine other times
Everything worked itself out
