Lyrics:

You were the player, hmm, you played it cool
I was the stranger and I played the fool
You were the teacher and you were the best
I was the seeker and I failed the test
We were always, skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
Playing on the wrong side
Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
(Playing on the...), playing on the wrong side

Yes, you were the player and you were so cool
I was the greenhorn, King of the fools
Painting the picture to fit with the frame
Changing the players to fit with the game

You were the searcher out for the sky
I was the traveller just passing by
You were the taker and you gave the call
I was the faker and I dropped the ball
We were always, skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
Playing on the wrong side
Skating on thin ice
Shaking the wrong dice
Swimming against the tide
(Playing on the...), playing on the wrong side
