Lyrics
Ridley: ''I remember the nights we spent under city lights. This feeling's got the best of me. We were floating along to the sounds of a dead end town, but now that's just a memory.''

Kylie: ''I can't figure you out, you've got more fight in you than anybody else. And here's the part where I started to make my own damn decisions and make a name for my self. I'll never be what you want, I wouldn't change any part of me just to make you stay. You had a piece of my heart but not enough to just run away. 'Cause I know what's best for me.''

Ridley: ''Take all your big plans and throw them away. I've got something in mind before we go separate ways.''

Kylie: We ask the questions baby.

Both: Who provides the answers?

Ridley: I'm scared to death and it shows.

Kylie: The flame burned out but it glows.

Ridley: And the look in your eyes says things I don't wanna know.

Kylie: It's time to go!

Ridley: ''Come closer! And I can't say anything, everything comes out the wrong way. I'll never be what you want, I wouldn't change any part of me just to make you stay. You had a piece of my heart but not enough to just run away. 'Cause I know what's best for me.''

Both: Just try, just try a little harder.

Ridley: I do my best explaining all the things I'm going through.

Both: Just try, just try a little harder.

Kylie: And this is why I can't adjust for you.

Ridley: I can't adjust for you.

Kylie: I can't adjust for you.

Ridley: You can't say.

Kylie: The look in your eyes says things I don't wanna know.

Ridley: No you, you can't stay.

Kylie: ''I wanna be with you, and no one else. I need you to feel the way that you felt that summer night when you found that puzzle piece.''

Ridley: Puzzle piece.

Both: ''Missing for eight straight weeks. You're not the perfect fit!''

Ridley: I'll never be what you want.

Both: ''I wouldn't change any part of me just to make you stay. You had a piece of my heart but not enough to just run away. 'Cause I know what's best for me.''
