I come to yours and you come to mine
I didn't see you this time
If your words were on the shore they'd go with the tide
I didn't see you this time
I'll come to yours if you'd be so kind
And come and see me this time
If your words could fight a cold or paint the sun
I'd love to see that when it's done
If you come to mine I'll write you song
And sing it for you next time
If your words told me the truth
I'd write them down
I guess I won't see you next time
I come to yours and you come to mine
I didn't see you this time
If your words were on the shore they'd go with the tide
I didn't see you this time
You are what you are and
You are what you are and
You are what you are and
You are what you are
