Side by side
I'm taking focus as you're interjecting
On and on about yourself in detail
To you it's all a game
To me, a matter of time
Before you're looking back at me
Not able to say anything
Just stay still like you're having fun
We'll lay waste to the other times we fell
You're like this in every one
You're in this like anyone who's faked a smile and walked away
I don't think the next time
We can pick up where we left off
I want to capture everything
Looking back to see things happen differently
A different side of me
Keep it clean and posed
Perfectly aligned
A pristine portrait for my collection
This is your last chance and all I ask is that you stay
You're like this in every one
You're in this like anyone who's faked a smile and walked away
Just stay still like you're having fun
We'll lay waste to the other times
How it unraveled before my eyes
You're not the one who I thought you were inside
It's bittersweet to say the least
I'm trying to convice you every time
That everything's so self-fulfilling
Can't you just stay?
You're like this in every one
You're in this like anyone who's faked a smile and walked away
Just lay still like you're having fun
And stay there 'til it never comes
