The experiment is working fine
You go your way and I’ll go mine
I don’t know the people that you see
And you don’t know the same about me
Don’t remind me what we both agreed to
Don’t repeat it, baby, you don’t need to

But why do I see you when I shut my eyes
Why do I see you at night
When I turn out the light
Can’t you wear a disguise
When I shut my eyes

I don’t wait for you to call on the phone
Don’t go past your house to see if you’re home
Don’t open cabinets & find your makeup
You’re not next to me when I wake up
No more letters when I’m out of town now
Whatever kept us close has been unwound now

But why do I see you when I shut my eyes
Why do I see you at night
When I turn out the light
Can’t you wear a disguise
When I shut my eyes

When I shut my eyes
The yearnin’ is burnin’ my chest
When I shut my eyes
The feeling is stealin’ my rest
Can’t get no rest

Why do I see you when I shut my eyes
Why do I see you at night
When I turn out the light
Can’t you wear a disguise
When I shut my eyes
