Stay is the hand that holds me from her
She says, "Goodnight" and fails to speak her mind
We lay in silence
Give it up, give it up girl
It's a typical act just to get a reaction out of me
And now I see it

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry is created from the most complex design
Now darling I, believe in sideline
Hang my hopes from itching ropes
And leave this all behind

Standing away from the display
Of love and hate we love to hate each other
Loving lovers
Back, back down, back down
A final countdown to the greatest letdown
I'll ever endure
I assure you dear you're like no other

The chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry is created from the most complex design
Now darling I, believe in sideline
Hang my hopes from itching ropes
And leave this all behind

It's hard to breathe, when everything becomes a fantasy
It's hard to breathe, when everything becomes a fantasy
It's hard to breathe, when everything becomes a fantasy

Chemicals, the chemicals combine
Our chemistry is created from the most complex design
Now darling I, believe in sideline,
Hang my hopes from itching ropes
And leave this all behind

The chemicals, the chemicals combine.
