On and on we seem to drift apart
We play the game we both will lose
We play the game we both will lose

I'm trying to hold on, but I'm in the dark
I'm reaching for you, but you've locked the door
And I'm outside looking in

Separate lives, living one day at a time
I'm reaching for you, but you've closed your mind
Separate lives, living one day at a time

I'm trying to find a way to make it right
But I don't understand
Why we can't find a way to make it work

I'm trying to find a way to make it right
But I don't understand
Why we can't find a way to make it work

I'm reaching for you, but you've locked the door
And I'm outside looking in

歌詞大意：

• "On and on we seem to drift apart"：我們似乎一直在漸行漸遠。
