Stand Off Lyrics

Mighty Mighty Bosstones Stand Off

I couldn't be more confused, but more than that I'm upset.
We once stood side by side, we were young when we met.
We'd always stand together, that's how we had it planned.
Now where do we stand?
I can't stand the pain, I guess I don't understand.
I just don't understand this stand off.
There's a lot I don't understand.
We're apart and don't have to be.
What went wrong? I don't know off hand.
I only know this is killing me.
So I called your bluff, said I'd see you around.
You stood tough, you stood your ground.
Now I'm standing by, I'm trying to stand tall.
Standing alone, don't understand this at all.
I just don't understand this stand off.
There's a lot I don't understand.
We're apart, do we have to be?
What went wrong? I don't know off hand.
I only know this is killing me.
Now I'm standing by...watching myself die.
Right beside myself...like it isn't me, it's some other guy.
And time's standing still...and I'll stand here until
I understand...or you come back,
I really hope you will.
Don't understand where we went wrong.
Don't understand how it fell apart.
Did I wait too long to write this song?
I always thought I was smart.
