Give me a reason
I'm on my knees and
I'm betting anything will keep me alive
I'm treading water
your mind is stronger
I'm faking anything that I can't define
You're broken hearts gone
And now your all alone
You're giving everything and now you'll break mine
I'm saying sorry
The words are nothing
Your voice is poison
And it gets worse

In time [x6]

[Chorus]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions

What intentions?

It's like a bad dream, another story
That's running circles in the back of my mind
See now it's ok to give me nothing
'Cause I was using you so I could get mine
You know I wanted to see only you
But you were trying just to keep me away
We're realizing, We're patronizing
So now its over but the past it remains

In time [x6]

[Chorus x2]

What intentions?

These imperfections make it hurt
And you're far away now but I know you're coming home

This is out of control
We can't make it on our own
We keep playing along just to leave us more alone
This is out of control
This happy ending's getting old
But we're playing along
With intentions

[Chorus x2]

What intentions?

    General Comment:rufio was one of the first bands that i thought kicked ass back when i was 15 in 01'.....the first song i ever heard was above me and when i heard the intro and lead to it was like "holy shit"...i fell out of the music scene for a while and just kinda got back into it and came to find out that they along with a bunch of other bands from my youth have broken up.....kinda makes me sad....

    General Comment:probably my favorite song from rufio. its great..
    obviously about a chick and a dude. i think its just about a totally screwed up relationship where both sides don't really like each other, but they're playing along with it for some reason. those reasons are probably

    General Comment:great song indeed.
    The way i see it, i think they were in a relationship, where the guy broke her heart. Then when she finally was over him, she does everything to ruin for him and break his heart. And it's continuing in a bad circle.
