Correct You Say I Say Lyrics

Lyrics:

You say, you are standing alone in the middle of a vast emptiness
That stretches as far as you can see, there are no signs of life
Only a grainy blue sea that moves around you
Like some kind of drunken ocean around you but not me
The word you used, I believe was desolate

I say, you are in a waiting room full of people
Your mother is talking to the woman at the desk
And on the bench under the clock is an Italian family
They all have brown eyes, they are looking at us

You say, you are standing alone in a barren landscape
You have scanned the blue emptiness countless times
And found nothing, you have raised your voice to the ceiling
Of the vast expanse and it has held no recognition

I say, you are in a waiting room full of people
And I am holding your right hand
We are all watching the woman at the desk
Her shoes sigh as she moves about
It is exactly 3:10 in the morning

You say, you are standing alone.
What is this loneliness that you feel?
What is this loneliness that you cannot seem to shake?

You say, you are standing alone in the blue tinge of an unfixed photo
And the only voices you hear are grainy and urgent
And grate across your soul in a series of moving lines like sandbars
You have stopped calling out because you called out
And your voice never came back

And I say, you are in a waiting room full of people
We are all looking at the clock and now the woman at the desk
Is speaking to your mother, the Italian family is looking at you
I go to the window and look out at the darkness
