staring at each other with accusing eyes
keep our voices low, don't act surprised
if the word gets out, yeah, that's alright
i know you're just looking for some sympathy
but listen you don't know how it gets back to me
you're getting reckless, girl, but that's alright
now don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
i don't care what the world can't see
it's just between you and me
i see telltale signs of a love in decline
there should be something to say, but we don't take the time
and i don't understand, but that's alright
now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
don't make an open book out of my private heart
you should know better now, but that's alright
don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
chorus:
even if heaven and earth collide tonight
we'll be all alone in a different light
i don't care what the world can see
because it's just between you and me
if we don't work this out we won't recover
we'll lose this soulful love for one another
but with all i've heard and all i seen
i'm still lost in your mystery
staring at each other with accusing eyes
keep our voices low, don't act surprised
if the word gets out, yeah, that's alright
don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
and then we'll have nowhere to go
chorus
