You and i are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying, trying
Ohhhhh, to mix it up.

We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls.

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather.

I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But i've been dying, dying, dying
Ohhh, ohhh, oh to let them go.

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe everything would get better.

We've been lying to each other
Hey! babe! let's just call it, call it, call it
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, what it is!
Oil and water!
Oil and water!
Oil and water!
