like i'm walkin' on broken glass
like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
and you're movin' too fast
He sat next to her on the not very big couch, staring at her ethereal appearance. The world seemed to pause as he stared at her. She sat still, staring into the distance and smoking her pipe, smoke swirling around her playfully, as if dancing in a breeze.
(chorus)
were you right, was I wrong
were you weak, was I strong, yeah
both of us broken
caught in the moment
Standing in the garden. Remembering. A night like tonight was they he died, she thought. He said that nothing ever really ended. She called him an idiot. Now she wondered, was he right?
From somewhere far away he sat on the roof, thinking. What if she had been right? Did he really have no sense? Forcing himself to leave her so he could live another life. He hadn't had much of a choice in the matter, but he could have….
we lived and we loved
and we hurt and we joked, yeah
All those times she had told him she hated him. All those times she kissed him. All those times they laughed at each other. That single time he had hurt her, and that one she would always remember first.
but the planets all aligned
when you looked into my eyes
Finally she turned away from her thoughts and stared him in the eyes. "What the hell do you think you're staring at?" she had asked him, clearly irritated. All she got for an answer was laughter.
and just like that
the chemicals react
the chemicals react
you make me feel out of my element
like i'm drifting out to the sea
like the tides pullin' me in deeper
makin' it harder to breathe
When he had first kissed her, she felt sparks but was too paralyzed from shock to think anything about it. It had been harder to breathe than she thought.
She knew she shouldn't have gotten involved. That one day he would have to leave her. But she let herself be pulled deeper and deeper into the deceiving waves.
we cannot deny, how we feel inside
we cannot deny
It's true that they couldn't deny it, but that doesn't mean they'd ever say it out loud.
(chorus)
were you right, was I wrong
were you weak, was I strong, yeah
both of us broken
caught in the moment
we lived and we loved
and we hurt and we joked, yeah
but the planets all aligned
when you looked into my eyes
and just like that
the chemicals react
the chemicals react
kaleidoscope of colors
turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
shining down on both of us
don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)
Too late to hope for a soft fall. They were already too far in, too high up, and were bound to come crashing down eventually
(chorus)
were you right, was I wrong
were you weak, was I strong, yeah
both of us broken
caught in the moment
we lived and we loved
and we hurt and we joked, yeah
we lived too long
we loved not enough
we hurt too badly
we joked
we're right or so we think
we're wrong too many times
we're weak too weak
we're strong but not quite enough
we lived to love but love is a faerytale without a happy ending
but the planets all aligned
when you looked into my eyes
and just like that
watch the chemicals react
and just like that
the chemicals react
(the chemicals react)
