  • Wake up, go to work, come home, it's not working
    We've been living our whole lives
    On a system that is broken
    Your words, I hear them
    They're sharp, can't get near them
    We got one last chance,
    One more time to make this happen

    We got one time, time to get this right
    Two times and you know it's not my style
    Three's company, just you and me,
    We need to figure this one out
    Four letter words are all you said
    Five minutes later we're in bed
    Can't count on you to love me,
    But I can count the days since you've been gone

    Wake up, I come home, I realized that it's not working
    You're gone, it goes
    I miss the noise of all our fighting
    And you know that I don't mean a word I say
    And I know that you don't wanna stay away
    How long am I gonna be counting the days you're gone

    We got one time, time to get this right
    Two times and you know it's not my style
    Three's company, just you and me,
    We need to figure this one out
    Four letter words are all you said
    Five minutes later we're in bed
    Can't count on you to love me,
    But I can count the days since you've been gone

    Ever since I saw you,
    There was no-one else, just you and me
    (You're all that I could see)
    But I got this problem
    I don't know how to say what I mean, what I mean

    We got one time, time to get this right
    Two times and you know it's not my style
    Three's company, just you and me,
    We need to figure this one out

    We got one time, time to get this right
    Two times and you know it's not my style
    Three's company, just you and me,
    We need to figure this one out
    Four letter words are all you said
    Five minutes later we're in bed
    Can't count on you to love me,
    But I can count the days since you've been gone
    Can count the days since you've been gone

    Wake up, go to work, come home, it's not working
    We've been living our whole lives
