Oil and Water - Rationale

Call it a necessary evil

Breaking your heart’s the only way we might survive

We are just ordinary people

Don’t always get the happy ending we would like

We can’t keep on playing this song

We can’t move on, so we make up

And carry on like nothing’s wrong

How long before we face up?

You and I are like oil and water

Clash at every corner

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

You and I are like oil and water

Plain and pure disaster

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

I can’t deny I’ve got an ego

And you pushed the buttons no one else could ever find

It ain’t like we’re lacking in emotion

We’ve been the opposite of happy for some time

We can’t keep on playing this song

We can’t move on, so we make up

And carry on like nothing’s wrong

How long before we face up?

You and I are like oil and water

Clash at every corner

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

You and I are like oil and water

Plain and pure disaster

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

Call it the lesser of two evils

Those silver linings getting harder now to find

Why are we fighting for the wheel?

Why can’t you walk away?

Why can’t you walk away?

Oil and water

Clash at every corner

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

You and I are like oil and water

Plain and pure disaster

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t you walk away?

Oil and water

Clash at every corner

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

You and I are like oil and water

Plain and pure disaster

Why can’t we walk away?

Why can’t we walk away?

Call it a necessary evil

Breaking your heart’s the only way we might survive

We are just ordinary people

Don’t always get the happy ending we would like
