I put it down I put it down to miscommunication
Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient
Please rest assured, don't cry my dear
We knew we'd never win
We could never change the way we are

And it goes round and round each year it's slightly worse, I'm slightly less prepared
And the rows of trees are blackened from a scorching summer
So I'll give three cheers and hide my fears
I guess that's how it goes

I put it down I put it down to miscommunication
Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient
Please rest assured, don't cry my dear
We knew we'd never win
We could never change the way we are

From the go this traffic always dragged me down
Dragged me to my knees
Just ignore the hurt, it's red alert, I guess that's how it goes
And I know as the days go by they make me shudder

He sees her initials in the street signs
And they're always taunting, poking, haunting
He berates himself for reading between the lines
It goes on and on and on until she gets back
But the days go like decades and each hour like a year
He's up and he's down, he's not moving my dear
Beautiful sonnets that won't sound good later he know
That desperation is the worst and the worst is yet to come
That the line has worked a solid pace, and he's just been outrun

You brushed aside, you brushed aside my guarded reservations
I looked toward the evening sky and your constant constellations
Your hand on the horizon shows your glory from afar
We could never change the way we are
I put it down I put it down to miscommunication
Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient
Please rest assured, don't cry my dear
We knew we'd never win
We could never change the way we are
