Here we sit looking at each other

Seems we're at a loss for what to say
F
Ties bind us both with someone else

We don't want to hurt but we must break away

And tonight I'll sit home a thinking

And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
F
We both live in separate homes where there's no love at all
C G7 C
Staying up late burning the midnight oil

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place

Where love and desires that just won't wait

In each others arms we'll dream for a little while

Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild

Staying up late burning the midnight oil
