When I was younger I was certain that I’d be fine without a queen Just a king inside his castle with an ocean in between Now all I do is sit and count the miles from you to me Oh, calamity!
We get older by the hour, watch the changes from afar Keep forgetting to remember where we’ve been is who we are Now all I do is wonder why we ever set the scene Oh, calamity!
It’s such a shame that we played strangers No act to change what we’ve become Damn it’s such a shame that we built a wreck out of me Oh, calamity! Oh, calamity!
I’ll remember nights alone, I’m waking up to dialled tones Always found my greatest moments in the sound of your hellos Now I struggle to recall the reason you would come to leave Oh, calamity!
It’s such a shame that we played strangers No act to change what we’ve become Damn it’s such a shame that we built a wreck out of me Oh, calamity! Oh, calamity!
If I catch you on the corner, will you even know it’s me? Will I look familiar to you? Do you offer me a seat? Can we find a new beginning? Do you turn the other cheek?
Oh, calamity! It’s such a shame that we played strangers No act to change what we’ve become Damn it’s such a shame that we played strangers No act to change what we’ve become Damn it’s such a shame that we built a wreck out of me Oh, calamity! Oh, calamity! Oh, calamity, come back to me
