Its Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

I've been up at this all night long

I've been drowning in my sleep

I've prayed for your safe place

And it's time for us to leave



Time is running, it's running on empty

And the gas is running out

I've decided tonight is the night

That I let love aside

Planned perfection sought in my dreams

Endless nights of dreaming of life

And the days we should have spent here

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

[Shut your eyes]



My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

[So hold on tight] [x2]

Kiss me one last time
