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
