Now you've slipped away

And found a place to stay

Who do I congratulate?

But I'm happy for you



Where are you today?

I sense that you're afraid

And I don't know what to do



I miss you but what does it change?

This confusion feels the same

Forget you and let you leave

But I'm still thinkin' it through



It's been the conflict between us

That's kept me from sinking before

You drove me crazy and I let you

Come, do it some more



Put the past to bed

We've done it before



Now we're back and forth again

Can we help this pointless thing?

Swingin' like a hinge

To the place we always meet



There's nothing to say

Except loneliness is strange

'Cause you wear the face

That I never can leave



And I know you're gonna call

'Cause you know just where I'll be

Once you come and find me here

I'll be happy for me



So happy to be not alone anymore

We've done it before



Now we're back and forth again

Can we help this pointless thing?

Swingin' like a hinge

To the place we always meet



It's such a shame how little things

Can change your minds

Don't just sit there filing your nails

And passing the time



I can't let you bottle it up

And take it too far

Carrying all of that weight

Is the hardest part



Now we're back and forth again

Can we help this pointless thing?

Swingin' like a hinge

To the place we always meet



Back and forth again

Back and forth again

Back and forth again
