The situation gets away
When the chips are down
And its all around

And expectations up this time
Disappointment fares
And you won't be there

Just take your time
We've got ordinary lives
They'll take advantage now
Just take ya time
We've got ordinary lives
I'll take my chance
This time

Disintegration gets away
And your askin' how
But there's somthin' else

Too much to make a difference now
But you needed more
There's an open door

Now I know, you never ever needed it before
I know, I tried when you were walkin' out the door
I know, you never ever needed it before
I know, I try but you were walkin' out
I never ever needed it before

The situation gets away
When the chips are down and its all around
And expectations of this time
Won't eventuate
Only complicate

    Yeah Bodyjar rocks, this song isn't my favorite of theirs, but it is still pretty cool.
