the color and sound - common ground lyrics

you couldn’t wait for me
you always chose to save your honesty for someone worthy
i’d talk, but you’re not listening to me again
i watch you roll your eyes to friends
and beg you to do what you do when no one else is looking

call me back
or save your breath
i won’t be reaching quite as far again

but i’ll keep working hard to show you that
keep turning, twisting you around
you’ll see whatever it is you want
’til you wake up and let it go
keep working hard to show you that
keep turning, twisting you around
you’ll see there isn’t common ground

i waited up all night long
you never gave a second thought
should’ve turned away to run
yet i stayed holed up in my room
now you won’t call me back
i could’ve told you that
i didn’t care if you were here or not
just leave what’s left intact
but i’ll keep working hard to show you that
keep turning, twisting you around
you’ll see whatever it is you want
’til you wake up and let it go
(i blink, and i see)
keep working hard to show you that
(you staring back at me)
keep turning, twisting you around
(if you want all of me i’ll find common ground)
you’ll see there isn’t common ground

you’re staying close to me
it shouldn’t break so far as i can see
i’d better hurry
i talk, but you’re not listening to me again
i hope you find what’s missing
but don’t ever take a second glance when no one else is looking

but i’ll keep working hard to show you that
keep turning, twisting you around
you’ll see whatever it is you want
’til you wake up and let it go
(i blink, and i see)
keep working hard to show you that
(you staring back at me)
keep turning, twisting you around
(machine precision seems)
you’ll see there isn’t common ground
(a futile pipe dream when you listen to the sound)
i’ll keep working hard to show you that
(of both my lungs giving out)
keep turning, twisting you around
(but i can’t find you now)
you’ll see whatever it is you want
(the common means to an end)
’til you wake up and let it go
(but you won’t call me back)
keep working hard to show you that
(i never told you that)
keep turning, twisting you around
(i didn’t care enough to show you)
you’ll see there isn’t common ground
(but i can’t let it go)
(just call me back)
i’ll keep working hard to show you that
(or save your breath)
keep turning, twisting you around
(i won’t be reaching out for something that will break on me)
you’ll see whatever it is you want
’til you wake up and let it go
(so maybe you’ll get close)
keep working hard to show you that
(i’ll probably never know)
keep turning, twisting you around
(if we will ever live to see the common ground)
you’ll see there isn’t common ground
