the alternative

Every car I get into could crash

But, oh man, do I love going fast

There's a chance that this plane's going down

But I don't wanna stay on the ground

Since I found myself another half

Part of me says don't get too attached

What if time's gonna number our days

Guess my heart's gonna break either way

Love is a risk

But what's the alternative?

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Life is a risk

But what's the alternative?

When the planet keeps spinning around

I'd be somewhere missing out

Life is short, things could change in a blink

Every time I jump in, I might sink

But what better way to learn how to swim

So screw it, I'm diving back in

Love is a risk

But what's the alternative?

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Life is a risk

But what's the alternative?

When the planet keeps spinning around

I'd be somewhere missing out

There's some days I can't believe you're really gone

It's tempting me to

Build a fort out of our sheets to stay inside and never leave

Love is a risk

But what's the alternative?

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Life is a risk

But what's the alternative?

When the planet keeps spinning around

I'll be somewhere missing out

What's the alternative?
