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 act to change what we've become

Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me

Oh, calamity

Oh, calamity.

I'll remember nights alone

And 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 act to change what we've become

Damn, it's such a shame that we've 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 you?

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 act to change what we've become

Damn, it's such a shame that we play strangers

No act to change what we've become

Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me

Oh, calamity

Oh, calamity.

Oh, calamity

Come back to me.
