Fades a little every day
Every airplane that floats by
Takes me miles and miles away
This way, I'd go, I'd run, I'd hide
But your eyes see past all the pride
Though I will be invisible to you
Through and through I know I'll wait
And savor every little taste you give me
Every one is bittersweet
But it's you and me
It's bittersweet
I dreamt I ran a marathon
But it was all the wrong direction
I dreamt I won the lottery
But my wealth crushed the economy
I woke, and walked along the beach
Rainy sand on foreign feet
Looked and saw to my surprise
Two sets of footprints on the horizon
The bite and sting of pesky thoughts
Where's the peace of eastern men?
I'm not religious, but if I believed
The laws of nature would have to bend
And I drive the same monotonous route
Day by day and lacking you
Through and through you know I'll take
And savor every little taste you give me
Each one is bittersweet
But it's still you and me
It's bittersweet
I dreamt I climbed the tallest mountain
And still couldn't reach and touch the sun
I dreamt I swam across the ocean
And in the middle you were floating
Like an island, a lonely planet
Sleepless nights with airplanes landing
I couldn't hear above their roar
I yelled for you till my throat was hoarse
And so I stir, spoon in coffee
Wondering when to lift and taste
Bittersweet we may always be
And if I find that that's the case
I may nod and go, or hide, or stay
But you'll have to fix things either way
This is what's inside of you
This battle waged inside of you
And every taste you choose to give me
Each one is bittersweet
It is you and me, yes
But it's bittersweet
I dreamt I played the perfect song
And forgot it when I paused too long
I dreamt I drove or maybe flew
But crashed along my way to you
And woke, and walked along the street
Ghetto trash on foreign feet
Looked and saw no sign of life
All alone in the night
So I kept on walking down the street
Singing "you and me, we're bittersweet"
"You and me...it's bittersweet"
