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 play strangers
No act to change what we've [bad word] [bad word]  it's such a shame that we've built such a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity

I'll remember nights alone
I'm waking up to dial tones
Always found my greatest moments
In the sound of your hellos
Now I [bad word] to recall
The reasons you [bad word] to leave

Oh, calamity

It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've [bad word] [bad word]  it's such a shame that we've built such 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 play strangers
No act to change what we've [bad word] It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've [bad word] [bad word]  it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me

Oh, calamity
Oh, [bad word] back to me
