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
