"The Manoeuvres" by Nada Surf

The lover's crime is to think alone 
Waste your time in another zone 
My wicked mind thinks you're on loan 
Learn the manoeuvres again and again 
Affection and alienation 
Keep my footing with some of my friends 
While others are changing the station 
You want to compete 
But I just don't care 
Throw the match 
I'll still be fair 
You say you're not reaching out 
But I saw your flares 
Admit you and I are defeatist clones 
How else to explain the higher potential 
Wait in line in ill-fitting clothes 
Only using my gears when it's essential
