[verse] They say it takes two to tango But now we dance our life into knots I can count on you when I’m tangled You laugh with the best, but you're no joke We keep living on the edge, yeah we scramble Rolling dice on love, you bet we gamble I struggle to keep up, girl, your too hot to handle [Chorus] People whisper that we’re at the stage Where life at our age is supposed to be played safe Most nights my way is play by play But I’ll tell you what You light up the stage, so baby Take it away [Verse] Both tattered and scarred at the edges And when it comes to chasing highs You and I take the ride, tip toein' along ledges We push the pedal through the night, we fly But loving you feels like I’m defenseless Double down on you, I love the gamble Even when the heat from your spark is too hot to handle [Chorus] People whisper that we’re at the stage Where life at our age is supposed to be played safe Most nights my way is play by play But I’ll tell you what You light up the stage, so baby Take it away [transition] [Verse] I don’t got a lot to lose, just my love for you Yeah that’s more than I deserve But I’ll hold on tight, swing back if I’m able to I don’t wanna lose my nerve You say another bender could be the ender I’ll hold on, if I’m able to... ... I didn’t see the breakdown this soon My Heart is cut by papers You yelling, let’s end this Now my pride’s lying shattered and trampled But I'm thankful for the ride Even if our rushed ride was too hot to handle [Outro | no back vocals] People whisper that we’re at the stage Where life at our age is supposed to be played safe Most nights my way is hard to maintain You have given me a lot of brighter days, even if now you Take it awayyy [Half-sung] (Maybe I threw it away) (Yeah, I threw it awayyy)
