Almost a song

The sky is turning blue, the night's about to flee,

It's not about you and it's not about me,

Was there ever us, or just the game we played?

We took the master class but got a failing grade.

It's not about you and it's not about me

The guests are coming due but we don't have the key

It's not about them and it's not about us

At 5:15 AM there's nothing to discuss

It's not about me and it's not about you

What is not meant to be can not be saved with glue

It's not about us and it's not about them

So let's forgo the fuss and breaking of the stem

While the imperfect gem is slowly bleeding pus,

It's not about them and it's not about us.

We are just what we are and not an ounce more,

And every falling star once had a higher score

It's not about them and it's not about us

At 5:15 AM there's nothing to discuss

It's not about me and it's not about you

What is not meant to be can not be saved with glue

It's not about us and it's not about them

So let's forgo the fuss and breaking of the stem

It's not about you and it's not about me

The guests are coming due but we don't have the key

Perhaps we can agree - this is the lot we drew

It's not about me and it's not about you

What happens to the souls that cross the street on red

And one gets hit and falls and never comes to bed

It's not about me and it's not about you

What is not meant to be can not be saved with glue

It's not about us and it's not about them

So let's forgo the fuss and breaking of the stem

It's not about you and it's not about me

The guests are coming due but we don't have the key

It's not about them and it's not about us

At 5:15 AM there's nothing to discuss

When minus turns to plus, when women fall for men

It's not about us and it's not about them

The world has gotten hard and the world has gotten flat

We go a yellow card and that, they say, was that

It's not about us and it's not about them

So let's forgo the fuss and breaking of the stem

It's not about you and it's not about me

The guests are coming due but we don't have the key

It's not about them and it's not about us

At 5:15 AM there's nothing to discuss

It's not about me and it's not about you

What is not meant to be can not be saved with glue

It's not about you and it's not about me

It's not about them and it's not about us

It's not about me and it's not about you

It's not about us and it's not about them
