ROOMMATES You remember when we moved in together? I said, "I'll take the left side, you take right." Guess we took that seriously. Your phone lights up the ceiling at a quarter past two I roll away from the glow, careful not to bother you Got a whole king-sized mattress and a line down the seam Like a border running straight through the middle of a dream Your back to the window, mine to the door We don't fight for the covers like we used to anymore I know the shape of your body, know the sound of your breath Still don't know what's been going on inside your head Used to lose whole nights with your hands in my hair Now I lie awake pretending I don't know you're there It's funny what the dark can do to two people in love When it shows you everything you're not talking about Same roof, same bills Same pictures on the wall How'd we build a life so full And leave no room for us at all? We're roommates, roommates Sharing sheets and separate dreams You sleep six inches from me Might as well be six states Roommates, roommates We don't touch, we don't leave Got a house full of everything But there's nothing left between you and me You and me, you and me Same bed, no heat Roommates, roommates How'd you get so far from me? We still wash three little cups, still count three little heads Still sneak into the hallway when they're finally in bed You're a good mother, I'm trying to be a good dad But somewhere we misplaced whatever else we had At breakfast we're a team, you can see it in their eyes At night we're two strangers taking opposite sides I can find a missing shoe, calm a nightmare down But I can't find the words to turn this thing around Your shirt's hanging next to mine, exactly where it's been There's a candle by the bedside we don't ever light again I reach across the sheets, then pull my hand away 'Cause I don't know if you want me or just need some space Same roof, same bills Same pictures on the wall How'd we build a life so full And leave no room for us at all? We're roommates, roommates Sharing sheets and separate dreams You sleep six inches from me Might as well be six states Roommates, roommates We don't touch, we don't leave Got a house full of everything But there's nothing left between you and me You and me, you and me Same bed, no heat Roommates, roommates How'd you get so far from me? Remember when you were bad for my sleep? Now I sleep right next to you... And I still lie awake. I ain't saying we don't love 'em They're the best of what we made Three little lights down the hallway While ours keeps getting dimmer every day I ain't looking for somebody I ain't asking you to change I just miss being the person That you wanted me to stay We're roommates, roommates Sharing sheets and separate dreams You sleep six inches from me Might as well be six states Roommates, roommates We don't touch, we don't leave Got a house full of everything But there's nothing left between you and me Goodnight.
