same piece of air
Yesterday we were the best of friends Today we can't get back again Time has crept in crevices And patterns down the wall  We could paint over the papered cracks  Tomorrow they would all crack back Who are we to try to stop the fall? There's no reason to worry There's no reason to care  There's no reason to wonder  It's not going anywhere And we used to love to share the same piece of air  We behave like real human beings Who eat, then wash the dishes clean  But I have held you in my arms And tried to read your mind And maybe baby if we both relax The axe that grinds behind our backs Will wear itself to nothing over time  There's no reason to worry  There's no reason to care There's no reason to wonder We're not going anywhere And we used to love to share the same piece of air  We used to breathe in and out together  Every one second lasted forever  There's no reason to worry There's no reason to care There's no reason to wonder  We're not going anywhere  And we used to love to share the same piece of air
