Night after night
I try to make it out all together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious?
To be a broken up and delirious?
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
Day after day
I know its not the way that you wanted
Day after day
I try to find the key but it don't fit
But you know how it is
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious?
To be a broken up and delirious?
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
Tonight tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight tonight
I'm sorry but I just didn't see
But now it's up to you
There's nothing else to do
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious?
To be a broken up and delirious?
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
Is it too serious?
