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 can never 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 mind
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
