Resolution road
Who's your friend and whos your foe?
How do you tell the one from the other?
Who's on the inside, whos undercover?
Who looks like you do?
Resolution road
Round and round and round we go
Who makes the circle and who's in the middle?
Who talks in reasons and who talks in riddles?
Who looks like you do?
CHORUS
Dont speak without thinking
Dont sleep with a stranger when youre drinking
And don't jump in a ship when its sinking
Resolution road
Learn to speak your heart in code

Who looks like you do?

Buy a ticket for the show
Who talks in riddles, who talks in reasons?
What kind of endings do you believe in?
Who looks like you do?
CHORUS X 2
Resolution road
Who's your friend and who's your foe?
How do you tell the one from the other?
Who's on the inside, who's undercover?
Who'll be your Lazarus? Who'll be your lover?
Who looks like you do?
Who looks like you do?
Who looks like you do?
