every love song has a number
every lover has a name

as we allow lust to take us over
and every face becomes the same

we get caught up in circumstance
time to play it by ear

leave it up to chance
close our eyes and what do we hear?

another heart dying
another heart careening dangerously near

as we run in place
stars collapsing in on the night

no time now to save face
no time now to do what's right

the truth is, we didn't belong there
promising the sun to the clouds

now questioning if karma's fair
left with the weight of shame to shroud
