Rubik's Romance

More complicated than a Rubik's

More sides and colours, it's always changing

We walk and talk around in circles

Wasting time and find the truth is undiscovered

The time we felt it like a spotlight

I played, you sang in harmony

Then the whispers after midnight

Making promises and breaking others

We hide behind our shields

We're hiding what we feel

How long can we go on pretending

Afraid we don't belong

And scared we might be wrong

'Cos love's for giving not for lending

We're sharing with the understanding

I pay the piper then... you call the tune

Take our places with the dancers

Moving round the tables one after the other

The moves we made while shadow boxing

I blocked the punches and... you did the same

Maybe better if we had a rumble

Then crawl into our corners as we recover

We hide behind our shields

We're hiding what we feel

How long can we go on pretending

Afraid we don't belong

And scared we might be wrong

'Cos love's for giving not for lending

Let's take our guard down

Let's start taking chances

We're wasting time to come around

There'll be no guarantee for happy ever after

Stepping out and feeling free

We'll write another chapter

Go out and paint the town red

And live in that casino of the heart

Living for the moment

Never mind the ending

Playing safe but knowing that

It's hard to lose a race we didn't start
