VICE VERSA


I think I was hoping to skip the melodrama
I tried to be impartial
Give you a bystander point of view
And you connected with the blow that finally came into view
And you recovered better than i remember you could

I think I expected everyone to be grown up now
I tried to be healthy and communicate what was going on
And you realized you'd been unsettled for a while now
And you just told us whatever would shut us up

It could go vice versa
But that would mean admitting not caring
It could go both ways
But that would mean admitting being in the wrong

I think I was worried you'd decided to quit trying
I tried to show you all possible points of view
And you put up with all our quirks and us with yours
And you hardly listened anymore to what we had to say

It could go vice versa
But that would mean admitting a fault or two
It could go both ways
But that would mean admitting there was a problem
