I'm gonna ask about your day
You'll just smile and look away
As you turn the hall light out
You'll ask me how was work
Put on an old t-shirt
As you turn the covers down
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same
From the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast
But we'll ride it down again
And say goodnight
Because we just can't say goodbye
We both memorize our lines
Said it all a thousand times
But the timing’s always wrong
Just two bad actors in a play
Don't know how to leave the stage
As the house lights all come on
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same
From the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast
But we'll ride it down again
And say goodnight
Because we just can't say goodbye
How many times do we go down
Until we finally make it through
Oh but something's got me chained and bound
To throw it all away for you
So I'll spend one more sleepless night
Pretend that everything's alright
Until the day begins again
We both know that everything has changed
But it all still looks the same
From the outside looking in
We both know it's never gonna last
This ship is sinking fast
But we'll ride it down again
And say goodnight
Because we just can't say goodbye
