A few seconds later Riff comes in with “‘Didn’t mean it, didn’t want it, but here we are,’” and then I sing “‘Like we’ve pinned all our hopes on a dying star.’”
We alternate lines for the following:
Don’t think we’ll ever see eye to eye,
You act like the rules simply don’t apply,
We’d rather be going toe to toe,
Game on for the tenth time in a row,
Then we sing the last couplet in harmony:
No holding back, let’s see what you’ve got,
Come on, hit me with your best shot.
The guitar and the drums gather energy here, building up to a peak for us to set our voices on:
Oh I …
Hate you to the moon and back,
Fate can’t make these opposites attract,
Fame don’t mean that I’m your fan,
Game face ‘cause you’re so on brand,
Gave it all but my fight is fading,
Give it up? No, I’m not done hating,
Live wires, both of us, but there’s a spark
Love might just be lurking in the dark
For the second verse, I start. “‘Can’t explain it, can deny it, I’ve lost my might.’” Riff sings, “‘Suddenly this doesn’t feel like spite.’” And we alternate in the same pattern for the rest.
I play it cool but my mind’s on you,
Now when you’re gone, I see shades of blue,
I keep replaying every word you spoke,
When you smile it’s like an inside joke,
Somehow your voice is music to my ears,
You’re the only one who doesn’t grind my gears
Chorus again twice, and then the bridge:
We didn’t stand a chance,
Lost in the circumstance,
It only took one glance
