lyrics

She was a rush to the finish line
He wasn't finished falling far behind
Both on house arrest
Long before the pandemic
Just barely
Halfway up the hierarchy.
You know she's holding out,
A buried undergrad
He's holding onto memories
That he's never had
Getting lost in her eyes
While relatives rob him blind
Just very (Very)
Very, very stationary

Feeling great
A great mistake
At least we make enough to overcompensate.
Going great,
No escape
From the lie-ee-i-e-i-e-i-e-ii-

CHORUS:
Saving face down on the street
Saving grace not guaranteed
Saving us won't get the dirt off me.
(Dirt off me)
God only knows the meaning to
The joke He wrote that evening. "You
Will get by
Over my
Dead body"

Slow and steady wins the race
Neither could run at the other's pace.
Just barely
Establishing intimacy...
Wisdom tooth aches
Wishful thinking
Tip of the iceberg
Ship is sinking.
Just for once he'd
Like to believe he has a
Fighting chance like any man.
At least she makes enough
To pay the ferryman.

Feeling great
We've made mistakes,
But we could grow together
If it's not too late.
We can be so much more
Than just two prisoners of war
And just maybe
Halfway up the hierarchy.

(CHORUS)
