You were the player
and 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

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
