Now you've slipped away
 
 And found a place to stay
 
 Who do I congratulate
 
 But I'm happy for you
 
 Where are you today
 
 I sense that you're afraid
 
 And I don't know what to do
 
  
  I miss you, but what does it change
 
 This confusion feels the same
 
 Forget you and let you leave
 
 But I'm still thinkin' it through
 
 It's been the conflict between us
 
 That's kept me from sinking before
 
 You drove me crazy and I let you
 
 Come do it some more
 
 Put the past to bed,
 
 we've done it before
  
 
 Now we're back and forth again
 
 Can we help this pointless thing
 
 Swingin' like a hinge
 
 To the place we always meet
  
 
 There's nothing to say
 
 Except loneliness is strange
 
 Cause you wear the face
 
 That I never can leave
 
 And I know you're gonna call
 
 Cause you know just where I'll be
 
 Once you come and find me here
 
 I'll be happy for me
 
 So happy to be
 
 Not alone anymore
 
 We've done it before
  
 
 Now we're back and forth again
 
 Can we help this pointless thing
 
 Swingin' like a hinge
 
 To the place we always meet
  
 
 It's such a shame how little things
 
 Can change your minds
 
 Don't just sit there filing your nails
 
 And passing the time
 
 I can't let you bottle it up
 
 And take it too far
 
 Carrying all of that weight
 
 Is the hardest part
  
 
 Now we're back and forth again
 
 Can we help this pointless thing
 
 Swingin' like a hinge
 
 To the place we always meet
 
 Back and forth again
 
 Back and forth again
 
 Back and forth again
 
 Back and forth again
