"As Two People Drift Apart" lyrics

I thought I saw you there
Standing by the lake
I wondered then if I
Could redirect my veins
And set a course the blood
To the heart of someone else
Would you feel how I feel?
I uttered to myself

The funny thing 'bout time
They say it heals all wounds
It seems that ours have festered
In the absence of the truth
A great magnetic field
Directed north and south
I could kiss you on the head
Or should I hit you in the mouth?

It's anybody's year
Anyone but us
I called myself a car
While you ran and caught the bus
A desert in the eye
A whisper in the dark
This is how we say goodbye
As two people drift apart
This is how we say goodbye
As two people drift apart

The other day I met a friend
I was glad you weren't there
Why do I need you to like me?
Why do I need you to care?
We were drinking every night
Now I drink four times a week
I guess this is progress
Let's tie one on for me

Let's tie one for the old crew
Let's tie one for the boys
Wishing I could say I need you
But I lost my voice
I saw you at the lake
And it kinda broke my heart
Now I'm drowning in the wake
As two people drift apart
Now I'm drowning in the wake
As two people drift apart

Been friends since we were kids
Slammed my fingers in the door
I guess shared experience
Doesn't cut it anymore
A desert in the eye
A whisper in the dark
This is how we say goodbye
As two people drift apart
This is how we say goodbye
As two people drift apart
