There's nothing new, nothing planned It's not even sad or slightly grand Only you and me apart Still thinkin' how we got too smart Tryin' to build on sand. Was it you fault, was it me? I can't remember or no longer see straight But if you decide to write Make it fast, make it tonight There just might be someone else. This American dream Is wearing thin at the seams We all seem to go through phases And phrases that don't always rhyme. If I came back unannounced Would you still be expecting me Would it be a nice surprise Could we start again and this time try Or would I find you with someone else?
