lyrics

Can you tell me
What good will it bring?
To toss your toys and sulk
Until you win
You know a point will come
When these games end
We’ll either face this thing together
Or throw a towel in

Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
Don’t turn on me now in pride
Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
It’s the two of us turning back the tide
It’s the two of us turning back the tide

C’mon and give me a sign
Let me know what I’ve done
Did I say something to hurt,
Or earn your scorn?
I’m sick of silence
Don’t turn your back
We gotta turn this train
Before it runs out of track

Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
Don’t turn on me now in pride
Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
It’s the two of us turning back the tide
It’s the two of us turning back the tide
It's the two of us

(Oh lover, won’t stay in sight,
Don’t turn on me now in pride
Oh lover, won’t stay in sight
It’s the two of us turning back the tide)

Now you may not like it
But I’ll say it straight
You gotta help me out
And carry your own weight
My strength is fading
And trouble looms
You could be waking up tomorrow
To an empty room

Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
Don’t turn on me now in pride
Oh lover, won’t you stay in sight
It’s the two of us turning back the tide
It’s the two of us turning back the tide
It's the two of us

(Oh lover, won’t stay in sight,
Don’t turn on me now in pride
Oh lover, won’t stay in sight
It’s the two of us turning back the tide)
