When I was younger I was certain
That I'd be fine without a queen
Just a king inside his castle
With an ocean in between
Now all I do is sit
And count the miles from you to me
Oh, calamity

We get older by the hour
Watch the changes from afar
Keep forgetting to remember
Where we've been is who we are
Now all I do is wonder
Why we ever set the scene
Oh, calamity

It's such a shame that we play strangers
No have to change what we've become
Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity

I'll remember nights alone
Waking up to dial tones
Always found my greatest moments
In the sound of your hello's
Now I struggle to recall
The reasons you would come to leave
Oh, calamity

It's such a shame that we play strangers
No have to change what we've become
Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity

If I catch you on the corner
Will you even know it's me
Will I look familiar to ya
Do you offer me a seat
Can we find a new beginning
Do you turn the other cheek
Oh, calamity

It's such a shame that we play strangers
No have to change what we've become
Damn it's such a shame that we play strangers
No have to change what we've become
Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity

Oh, calamity
Come back to me
