Flirting with disaster
You've been flirting with your fate
You struggled when you asked her
Because you knew you were too late
Now you see she's leaving
But you hesitate again
The spaces in her breathing
Won't let you pretend
So you tell her not to go
She asks why, you don't know
As you stumble for the reason
For the one that you've been dreamin'
You can only say don't go
You can only say don't go
You've known her for awhile
So why is this so hard?
Maybe it's denial
That keeps you where you are
You're thinking that it's obvious
So you've never said the words
You've always been so positive
But it's always been absurd
So you tell her not to go
She asks why, you don't know
As you stumble for the reason
For the one that you've been dreamin'
You can only say don't go
You can only say don't go
It defies all rhyme and reason
But as long as your heart's beating
You can only say don't go
You can only say don't go
