Your turn, my turn
Show it, your face
Your turn, my turn
Same place, some grace
Your turn, my turn
Stand it, stand it
Something involving a lie
Something between you and I
The light fades away
and the day turns to grey
and you say, say
Soft, sure
as a knock on your door
Please say you're there
Wait, wasted
I'm here, I'm here
Lose it, yeah
Something involving a lie
Something between you and I
The light fades away
and the day turns to grey
and you say, say
Heard it, heartache
Your turn, my turn
Show it, your face
Your turn, my turn
Same place, some grace
Your turn, my turn
Stand it, stand it
Something involving a lie
Something between you and I
The light fades away
and the day turns to grey
and you say, you say
Say to you
Sure as a
Knock on the
