lyrics

The kiss was transcendent,
It took her breath away,
But the cadence of her heartbeat confessed more than she could ever say.

"This is the one.
What have I done to earn a place in her arms?
Never again will I be companionless.
Is this what heaven’s like?"

For the first time he was speechless,
Was this a new and perfect high?
He was silent as he sifted through these apprehensions in his mind.

"Is he the one?
What have I done? What if I kiss him again?
How can I be sure that my heart is safe?
I should just walk away."

This was the place they met, a poetic location for it all to end.
They’d be training for months, now the gloves come off,
Looks like the show’s about to start.

“What was it like when you decided you would tear down my walls?”
“What makes you think eventually you wouldn’t have done the same to me?”

You see, love isn’t fair and I don’t know where you got the idea that someone wins.
You just close your eyes and let the dice fall from you hands.
We’ll both take the fall, it’s nobody’s fault.
I’m not gonna let you take the blame.
Strangers now the dust had settled, they both walked away.

From this high up, if someone falls, that’ll be the end.

You see, love isn’t fair and I don’t know where you got the idea that someone wins.
You just close your eyes and let the dice fall from you hands.
We’ll both take the fall, it’s nobody’s fault.
I’m not gonna let you take the blame.
Strangers now the dust had settled, they both walked away.
