We were struggling boys & girls

We were pigs just looking for pearls

Now we're blocked by the world

But we're so much richer now in this world with each other

We contest, we complain

But we're made this way for each other

Just a life down a drain

But we made this bed for each other

Just because we are lost

Can't we tell the truth to each other?

Though we know of the cost

Can't we open up to each other?

We contest, we complain

But we're made this way for each other

Just a life down a drain

But we made this bed for each other

Though we know of the cost

We can't open up to each other

So we pretend to be cross

At the greatest cost to each other

We contest, we complain

But we're made this way for each other

Just a smile, all the same

It's the greatest gift for each other

Just because we are lost

Can't we tell the truth to each other?

Though we know of the cost

Can't we open up to each other?

If I opened myself up to you

If you opened yourself up to me

There is still so much more we could be

We could find out

Find out about each other

We were struggling boys & girls

We were pigs just looking for pearls

Now we're blocked by the world

But we're so much richer now in this world with each other.
