They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers' eyes
I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria
And so we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity
And so we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria
I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a pictureof you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got afist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it,gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn'tmean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell methe song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
Unaware butunderlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner ofmy mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist ofseparation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room insidefor me
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just wantyou back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
And we'll be together, this time isforever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
Whatever I said, whatever I did Ididn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong justtell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
