Take a look at ourselves without the weight of romance
You've got books on your shelves I can't even pronounce
And the records you play, though I've heard a lot worse
I don't enthuse the right way, you give me chapter and verse
If it was love at first sight, now I've your fondest regard
We could be farther apart, though we'd have to work hard
And if the clothes you wear are a statement you make
You're saying handle with care, every sentence is fake
And I think that what I'm trying to say
Is it never really mattered anyway
Whether our paths crossed or not, we never really cared
And now the silence when we drive at night
The way we never hold each other tight
Means solitude for two, troubles doubled never shared
Another bee from the fridge to check the damage we've done
Things must be badly amiss, another six-pack is gone
When we talk now it seems conversation is dead
For us now it means everything has been said
And I think...
Never handled with care, never given a chance
We've been learning to crawl, never looking to dance
And I think...
