Zugzwang

Intro

Say what you mean

Mean what you say

Work first, then play

Take your time

But hurry up

Do you get it?

Do you get it now?

Verse 1

You got me in a no-win

Situation

Telling me just to swim

In the middle of the ocean

I need to go

but I want to stay

I need to leave

but I can't walk away

Chorus

Checkmated

Almost every possible move

Zugzwang

Is all there's left to do

Just wait it out

Zugzwang

And hope for the best

As I clean up your mess

Verse 2

You're not even here

Anymore

But I can still hear you

Telling me what to do

Let me fix this bed

For me you've made

Get out of my head

All those mean things you'd say

Chorus

Checkmated

Almost every possible move

Zugzwang

Is all there's left to do

Just wait it out

Zugzwang

And hope for the best

As I clean up your mess

Outro

Nothing left to do

But stay here

Keep plugging along

And swallow my fear

Nothing left to do

Zugzwang

Stuck here without you

Same as I was with you

Zugzwang

So mad

So sad

So sad

So sad
