Shoulder to shoulder
Amused but not advanced
He, she, you, me
It's all just circumstance
Eager, hopeful
Content to play the friend
Timid advances
With mutual regret

She can't always be wrong
He can't always be right
Not a matter of choice
Just a matter of time
'til they know where they stand
Once they reach the end

Awkward choices
With smiles from ear to ear
A fated union
That won't survive the year
Timeless series
Of blameless accidents
The stubborn cycle
Of inherited mistakes

She can't always be wrong
He can't always be right
Not a matter of choice
Just a matter of time
'til they know where they stand
Once they reach the end

I'll pay mind where I place my trust
When the desert ends
I'll ask the dust
I'll pay mind where I place my trust
When the desert ends
I'll ask the dust
