"Common Ground" lyrics

"Common Ground"

One minute I am a dream to you
And you can't cope with how much I mean to you
And the next you are through with me
And you want nothing to do with me
You'd rather put me on a pedestal and then knock me down
Than meet me on common ground

You say that you adore me
And that you'd do anything for me
Then tell me I am a hypocrite
And what you would have done different
You'd rather kiss my feet or watch me drown
Than meet me on my common ground

You pull me in with a kind disguise
When we're around prying eyes
Then push me away to an arm's length
Once it's just you and I
I'm a fool to think you'll come around
And meet me on common ground
