mp3 recorded 2001 -- 1.8MB

Whether running too fast or moving too slow
 We're drifting apart and away
  From each other
 You'll come to me with the look of love
  But you know I'll soon turn away

Maybe you know we tried to make it work
 We gave away more than we took
  But maybe the road of compromise is dark
   And middle ground is shaky ground

You argue with me
 You say it's not fair
  You say I don't understand
 I can quote all your words to me
  But you can't recall a single word I've said
   You can't recall the things I've said

When the smoke clears away from embers of love
 The fire that burned itself out
  You'll come to me with the look of love
   But you know I'll soon turn away

Maybe you know we tried to make it work...

We're sinking down in the middle ground
