Stalemate - Nada Surf

You say you wanna leave me,

say you wanna be free

from everything you hate.

Get yourself together,

we'll always be together.

Love, you just can not rate.

Been so long since we hooked,

been so long since we took

time to get things right.

But I'll be here forever,

I'll lie to you forever.

Now, it doesn't look bright.

[Chorus:]

Nobody is killing more time than you and I.

Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye.

I think we're getting used to,

used to be abused to.

Doubt is all there is.

We can not spread out wings out,

can not do a new thing.

Drought on what we miss.

When everything is falling,

it's like we both are crawling

around and around again.

Every fight is too long,

every word is too strong

Bound to end it all, but when?

The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone.

It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere.

I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye.

Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright.

You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright.

Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die?

Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why.

Why we just can't let it die?

It's our big life lie.
