[Verse 1]
I sing the words I will not say
So I’d sing "I love you" if I felt that way
And I know there have been moments
Where the words made sense
Though I’ve been told that I’m a blind optimist
You have a tendency to step over the line
And it’s started up an argument too many a time
Why do we try if we know it won’t last?
I feel like sand inside of your hourglass

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t understand why I started falling your way
Since you’ve been pushing all my buttons from the very first day
That unexpected feeling grabbed me right 'round the waist
And it didn’t let me go, so in that case

[Chorus]
Stay with me, baby
Look at all we have and hold it in your hands
And though our situation’s crazy
Quick, hold the curtains, they’re not closing
You and I are just opposing ends

[Verse 2]
I sing the words I will not say
So I’d sing "I hate you" if I felt that way
And I know that there are times when I resist your touch
It’s 'cause I never thought that I could
Disagree with someone so much
Oh, and when we fight you simply want to be a winner
And the patience that I have for you is slowly getting thinner
So I try to walk away, I know I probably should
Though it’s hard when you look that good
Yes, oh, it’s hard when you look that good
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you understand why you started falling my way?
Since I’ve been pushing all your buttons from the very first day
That unexpected feeling slapped you right in the face
And it’s gonna be a hard one to replace

[Chorus]
So stay with me, baby
Look, I know I’ve been a little on the fence
It’s 'cause our situation’s crazy
Quick, hold the curtains, they’re not closing
You and I are just opposing
Stay with me, baby
Oh, look at all we have and hold it in your hands
And though our situation’s crazy
Quick, hold the curtains, they’re not closing
You and I are just opposing ends
And they will watch as this ascends
