And you played it cool
I was the stranger
And I played the fool
You were the teacher
And you were the best
I was the seeker
And I failed the test
We were always skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
Playing on the wrong side
Yes you were the player
And you were so cool
I was the greenhorn
King of the fools
Painting the picture
To fit with the frame
Changing the players
To fit with the game
You were the searcher
Out for the sky
I was the traveller
Just passing by
You were the taker
And you gave the call
I was the faker
And I dropped the ball
You were the player And you played it cool I was the stranger And I played the fool You were the teacher And you were the best I was the seeker And I failed the test We were always skating on thin ice Shaking the wrong dice Swimming against the tide Playing on the wrong side Yes you were the player And you were so cool I was the greenhorn King of the fools Painting the picture To fit with the frame Changing the players To fit with the game You were the searcher Out for the sky I was the traveller Just passing by You were the taker And you gave the call I was the faker And I dropped the ball Explain Request ×
