And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
And the moment disappeared
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
Now the roses don't grow here
I guess that love does what it wants
And that's just too bad for us

Was it all just sleight of hand?
Another trick that fate has played on us again
Two heads in the sand
I hear you talking but I just can't understand

Caught in no man's land between the wires
Coming under friendly fire
Can't go forward, can't go back again

And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
And the moment disappeared
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
Now the roses don't grow here
I guess that love does what it wants
And that's just too bad for us

Flying high with both eyes closed
Almost touched the sun, I guess we got too close
Now I'm dancing on my own
But the music's not as good when you're alone

Caught in no man's land between the wires
Coming under friendly fire
Can't go forward, can't go back again

And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
And the moment disappeared
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
Now the roses don't grow here
I guess that love does what it wants
And that's just too bad for us

We wanna talk but we don't wanna listen
We play pretend but we both know it's missing
If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute
At least that's what I tell myself
We wanna talk but we don't wanna listen
We play pretend but we both know it's missing
If love burns too bright, it burns out in a minute
At least that's what I tell myself

And it crept up on us, in the way that it does
And the moment disappeared
In the desert of us, all our tears turned to dust
Now the roses don't grow here
I guess that love does what it wants
And that's just too bad for us
