lyrics

Is it something in the water?
Or is it something in your eyes?
Is this something I will cherish?
Or is it something I'll despise?

I cross my i's and dot my t's
And catch you like some bad disease
And wonder when the other shoe will drop
I'm off my guard and scared to death
Of facing down this loneliness
That's bound to follow when you're scared away

But we know how this plays out
We make up and make out
And make things a thousand times worse
And its all fun and games
But I'm going insane now
And strangely this all feels rehearsed

Is it something in the water?
Or is it something in your eyes?
Is this something I will chetish?
Or is it something I'll despise?
We both know I'm not known for caring
But you still set my heart on fire
Is this something I can live through?
A perfect torture called desire

Photographs and memories
And little infidelities
Are we've ever really had to show
Broken hearts and promises
Cigarettes and substances
We never could leave well enough alone

But we know how this plays out
We make up and make out
And pretend this isn't insane
It was all fun and games
But there's nothing to gain
And we both know it's more of the same

Is it something in the water?
Or is it something in your eyes?
Is this something I will chetish?
Or is it something I'll despise?
We were never meant to make it,
At least we both can say we tried
Is this something I can live through?
A perfect torture called desire

No one makes me bleed like you do
Builds me up to break me down
I know I must mean something to you
I'll see you on the next go around
