The Game
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't remember, do you
How many times I've called your name?
Don't mean nothing to you
Our separate lives, our lonely days
Suddenly, you're asking me to stay
What do you want me to say?
By this time tomorrow you're gonna be so far away
And every time I think we're solid
You change the game
Didn't you hear the sirens, baby?
Didn't you see the flames? So don't complain
If this time tomorrow you're gonna be so far away
And every time I think we're solid
You change the game
You have my affection
Any time, any place
Call it reconnection
Call it love or the chase
But, oh, if you would give me your protection
Instead of giving me so much space
By this time tomorrow you're gonna be so far away
And every time I think we're solid
You change
