He: I never felt so close to you.

She: I never been so far away.

He: And I know what you're going through...

She: So is that all you can say to me? Is that all you can say to me?

It's a crazy road we take.

She: You used to be my hero, boy, 'til you parked the car in the lake.

And if that don't sound enticing,

Your money ain't no good here, down by the Great Mistake.

She: You can think that way if you like.

He: What would make you say a thing like that?

She: I'm not sayin' anything. I'm not sayin' anything.



They: There'll be a lot of compromisin',

And if that don't sound inviting,

We can walk this way blinfolded, down by the Great Mistake.
