lyrics

Goin' nowhere picking up speed,
end in sight and the pressure's on me
Ain't no tellin' what forever gon' be
but right now is now, and who's better than we?
Better than us, and if trust is an issue,
there's only this feeling that we have to commit to.
Only this night--then the trip is done,
then we off track like our tickets punched
And if we crash and if we burn, at least we tried and at least we learned that feeling in the air
They can tell its us, we took the leap and we fell in lust--us

The first time you miss out you won't forget it,
and seconds turn into hours that you will spend regretting,
It's your third strike--it's your last chance to change your mind
So don't stop--don't breathe. You might slip away from me.
Let's get lost before this moment is gone.
It could end so beautifully...

This my chance i see it, my pulse pumping like speakers
This one day on this ride, feel like I'm so alive,
See, it's written in the sky, I could have you just this time
Lord forgive us if we die, at least this world will know we tried
Black coat--no disguise, no makeup, show them eyes
I just wanna show them guys, we clicked and its no surprise
You should know: this is life, this could be so outta sight
Turn it up, let's melt this ice, let's be selfish for the night

The first time you miss out you won't forget it,
And seconds turn into hours that you will spend regretting.
It's your third strike--it's your last chance
So don't stop--don't breathe you might slip away from me.
Don't stop--don't think. You won't slip away from me, this moment...

And it's times like these, I remember the summer--
I should have known our days were numbered.
From the moment that we met eyes, my head swimming,
baby we made love and the world stopped spinning,
Let's just surrender, its now or never...

So don't stop--don't breathe you might slip away from me.
Don't stop--don't think. You won't slip away from me, this moment...
It could end so beautifully.
