Doomsday Dance

Sometimes my heartbeat kicks me and I stare off into space
And I need the comfort of your eyes, but I can't bear to see your face
And the rain pours down and runs off my head
I start to wish you were sitting with someone better instead

I'm your only choice, you're my only chance
So we're locked together in a frantic doomsday dance
We're just crashing down, but as long as I'm with you
I will think to myself, maybe there's something we can do

It's easier to give up than it is to believe
But somehow I can't bring myself to leave
Maybe I'm too hopeful, or not hopeful enough
I just get stuck all the time--I'm not that tough

And I lose my voice, and you lose your sense
And it's neither of our faults, we just get too tense
We're just crashing down, but you're still with me
Isn't there anywhere else you'd rather be?

I try to push you away, but there are tears in my eyes
I hope you know my isolation is just a disguise
But even when I try to disconnect from you for the world's sake
I stop myself; I don't want that to be my last mistake
I'll always come back to you if you'll let me
I don't mean to make you worry, please forgive me

I'm your only choice, you're my only chance
And we're locked together in some kind of awful trance
We're just crashing down, and I know it's true
But I'm still happy to be with you
I'm still hoping that we'll get through
