[Verse 1]
There is an elephant in the room
And we both know
We're gonna have to talk about it soon
But we made space for him in the coroner there
And we go on and act as if there isn't anybody there
We built this home, just you and I
And then we lock the door
And hope nobody else comes by
[Verse 2]
The way I was raised
It claws and tugs at me
Sometimes I'm blinded by emotions
And I can't see
When we fell in love you belonged to no one
But why would I chain or shackle you to my jealousy?
The human heart it's large beyond compare
Only a fool would be so cruel as not to share
I wanna see her shining bright
Not locked up in some dark cage in the dead of night
[Pre-Chrous]
Why can't I tell you
The way I really feel?
Like my dishonesty and my ego made a deal
That when we desire the touch of someone else
We just conspire to keep those feelings to ourself
[Chorus]
Why can't the rules be less defined?
How can you call it out when you're sticking to a dotted line?
My heart, it's torn in two
One half's on the road and the other remains with you
One half's on the road and the other remains with you
[Bridge]
I do not grasp
And I do not own
This life is changing
And impermanent, so long
We can adapt
Or maybe we could divorce
We could jump ship
Or we could easily change course
[Chorus]
Why can't the rules be less defined?
How can you call it out when you're sticking to a dotted line?
My heart, it's torn in two
One half's on the road and the other remains with you
One half's on the road and the other remains with you
