[Verse 1]

Like contenders fighting for a title

You and I were tired of being a rivalry

Can't you see, we're poles apart?

In the twilight with the lights down low

Keep position, kiss, and then we're back to blows

Highs and lows

Poles apart

This love is a poison dart

[Chorus]

I can't live with or without you

Such a sad affair

Used to be, we could dance

Toe to toe, hypnotised

Can't you see – it could be

Paradise?

You and I, synchronised

[Verse 2]

You're the empires at the picket line

You're the deadlock in this beating heart of mine

My valentine, we're worlds apart

Like a dead man to a rodeo

I can't resist your kiss and then we're trading blows

Highs and lows

Poles apart

This love is a poison dart

[Chorus]

I can't live with or without you

Such a sad affair

Used to be, we could dance

Toe to toe, hypnotised

Can't you see – it could be

Paradise?

You and I, synchronised

Oooh

[Bridge]

You and I, synchronised, synchronised, synchronised

You and I, synchronised, synchronised, synchronised

You and I, synchronised, synchronised, synchronised

You and I, synchronised, synchronised, synchronised

[Chorus]

I can't live with or without you

Such a sad affair

Used to be, we could dance

Toe to toe, hypnotised

Can't you see – it could be

Paradise?

You and I, synchronised

[Outro]

I used to be, I used to be your lover

I used to be, I used to be your lover

I used to be, I used to be your lover
