I sat on the roof as the night came down

Looking out over this pitiful town

And thought of you out there back in the race

Looking for someone to take my place

That's when it hit me, that's when the walls came down

You see, I never thought it could happen to us

Now we're going 'round breaking down each other's hearts

So go on and blame me for whatever you must

But we've become just like the ones we laughed about

This time, this time it's us

Up in a watchtower with the streetlights below

In a town full of places that we used to go

And a river of people walking two by two

Everything I see now reminds me of you

That's when it hit me, that's when it all came true

'Cause I never thought it could happen to us

Now we're going 'round breaking down each other's hearts

So go on and blame me for whatever you must

But we've become just like the ones we were laughing about

This time, this time it's us, oh it's us

I never thought it could happen to us

Now we're going 'round breaking down each other's hearts

So go on and blame me for whatever you must

But we've become just like the ones we were laughing about

This time, this time it's us, this time it's us, oh

This time it's us
