You are the temporary void in my life
you know what you don't want I know what you don't like
We're together so conviently
you take what you don't have
I take what you don't need

THIS IS A RACE TO THE END
IT STARTED ON A HILL AND ENDS ON A MOUNTAIN
AND WHEN THIS GAME WINDS DOWN
I OFTEN WONDER WHETHER WE'LL BE MORE THAN FRIENDS

Neck and neck I think I'm slightly ahead
You're keepin' score and I'll use it against you
Keepin' time with all the words that were said
skip a step and I'll be slightly behind you

THIS IS A RACE TO THE END
IT STARTED ON A HILL AND ENDS ON A MOUNTAIN
AND WHEN THIS GAME WINDS DOWN
I OFTEN WONDER WHETHER WE'LL BE MORE THAN FRIENDS

The is a likely story
this a secret affair
this is a part of what we need to stay in this game

I guess the question is how much can you take
I've got the time and the motivation
Soon enough there'll be a lot more at stake
who's gonna be the first to fall to pieces

THIS IS A RACE TO THE END
IT STARTED ON A HILL AND ENDS ON A MOUNTAIN
AND WHEN THIS GAME WINDS DOWN
I OFTEN WONDER WHETHER WE'LL BE MORE THAN FRIENDS
