Oil And Water
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.
Call it a necessary evil
Breaking your heart's the only
Way we might survive
We are just ordinary people
Don't always get the happy
Ending we would like
We can't keep on playing this song
We can't move on, so we make up
And carry on like nothing's wrong
How long before we face up?
You and I are like oil and water
Clash at every corner
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
You and I are like oil and water
Plain and pure disaster
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
I can't deny I've got an ego
And you pushed the buttons
No one else could ever find
It ain't like we're lacking in emotion
We've been the opposite of happy
For some time
We can't keep on playing this song
We can't move on so we make up
And carry on like nothing's wrong
How long before we face up?
You and I are like oil and water
Clash at every corner
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
You and I are like oil and water
Plain and pure disaster
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
Call it the lesser of two evils
Those silver linings
Getting harder now to find
Why are we fighting for the wheel?
Why can't you walk away?
Why can't you walk away?
Oil and water
Clash at every corner
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
You and I are like oil and water
Plain and pure disaster
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't you walk away?
Oil and water
Clash at every corner
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
You and I are like oil and water
Plain and pure disaster
Why can't we walk away?
Why can't we walk away?
Call it a necessary evil
Breaking your heart's
The only way we might survive
We are just ordinary people
Don't always get the happy ending
We would like
