Keeping Score

On an otherwise wonderful day
I was paralyzed to hear myself say
Let’s both take a seat my dear let us play
And make memories the old fashioned way

So the little piece that one’s a pawn
Can we both agree upon en passant
Take it easy now it’s only for fun
But without a sound the race had begun

Tell me how I bruised that heart of yours
How the words I used made you close the door
Whoever won the war I miss the days before
Our passion parted ways and started keeping score

Like a hurricane she took the queen
And I soon became caught in between
Where we started out with laughter and here
In uncharted doubt the game disappeared

Tell me how I bruised that heart of yours
How the words I used made you close the door
Whoever won the war I miss the days before
Our passion parted ways and started keeping score

Everyone needs a partner someone on their side
Us against the whole wide world like Bonnie and Clyde
I never want to break this it took so long to make this
Let me in again and we’ll begin again gimme’ a kiss
