The final word had just come in
The six o'clock news had just began
When I saw you through the window of a payphone dialin' 911 for information

How did things get so bad?
I swear you're the best disease I've ever had in my life and yours entangled in a web forever together

How was I to know you'd turn around to bring me down
And from the get go you know you shoulda told me way back then before we got goin'

There were stars in the night
There was a view just us two in the moonlight
And I saw you lookin up you're eyes so bright
I was holin' on so tight

How could I say goodbye, we is such a far cry from I
And I saw the signs along the ride
They say: "don't go down this road wrong way"

How was I to know you'd turn around to bring me down
And from the get go you know you shoulda told me way back then
before we got goin',
before we got goin',
before we got goin'!
