it’s like i got this music in my mind saying it’s gonna be alright

we are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet

‘cause you know i love the players and you love the game

you held on tight to me ‘cause nothing’s as it seems and spinning out of control

they never saw it coming, you hit the ground running and now you’re on to something

you were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious

you keep his shirt, he keeps his word

you kiss on sidewalks, you fight and you talk

just grab my hand and don’t ever drop it, my love

at least i had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

love to think you'll never forget

love’s a game, wanna play?

if you live like that, you live with ghosts

half awake, taking your chance, it's a big mistake

i walked out, i said, “i’m setting you free”

fading into madness

makes you wanna run and hide, but it made us turn right back around

wait the worst is yet to come, oh no

nothing lasts forever, but this is getting good now

i’ve been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

it’s poker, he can’t see it in my face, but i’m about to play my ace

i'm standing on the sidewalk alone, i wait for you to drive by

in silent screams and wildest dreams, i never dreamed of this

and you know for me, it’s always you

tick-tock on the clock, i pace down your block

you’re the king, baby, i’m your queen

all you had to do was stay

but i watch us go ‘round and ‘round each time

this love is glowing in the dark

we’re all here, the lights and noise are blinding

got love-struck, went straight to my head

love’s a fragile little flame, it could burn out

just like i had been when you were chasing me

lovelorn and nobody knows

your kiss, my cheek, i watched you leave

you know it used to be mad love

well, could’ve been easy, all you had to do was stay

we were born to be suburban legends

strike a match, then you blow it out

guess this is how it has to be now that we don't talk

and if they call me a slut, you know it might be worth it for once

this mad, mad love makes you come running to stand back where you stood

aquamarine, moonlit swimming pool

love thorns all over this rose

could’ve been easy, all you had to do was stay

but you’ll come back each time you leave

your eyes are wider than distance, this life is sweeter than fiction

half awake, taking your chance, it's a big mistake

flamingo pink, sunrise boulevard

and when they call your name and they put your picture in a frame
