(Verse 1) You trace the lines of caution, staring at the floor Saying love is just a gamble, and you’re keeping up the score You tell me if we rush this, we might break what we have made That fifty years of sorrow is a heavy price to pay I hear the trembling in your voice, I know you’re terrified But darling, let me show you what is on the other side. (Chorus) You’re afraid of the regret if we take a chance and fall But what if the greatest tragedy is never jumping at all? Imagine waking up tomorrow, and every day until we're old Living with the ghost of a story we left untold I don't want to spend forever wondering what we could have been Let's not break our own hearts just to play it safe again. (Verse 2) Picture us in twenty years, living separate lives Settling for a quiet peace, surviving but not alive We might pass each other on the street, smile and walk away While a silent, screaming "what if" echoes through our every day That’s a much heavier burden than any stumble we could make A lifetime of missing a chance that we were too afraid to take. (Chorus) You’re afraid of the regret if we take a chance and fall But what if the greatest tragedy is never jumping at all? Imagine waking up tomorrow, and every day until we're old Living with the ghost of a story we left untold I don't want to spend forever wondering what we could have been Let's not break our own hearts just to play it safe again. (Bridge) (Tempo slows, intimate and vulnerable) There are nights I search the mirror and I question what I bring I can't promise you a painless road or fix every broken thing I ask myself if I’m enough to give you the life you're owed If I have the strength to carry us down a rough and rocky road... (Tempo builds, growing passionate and resolved) But then I realize perfection is a solitary lie And together we have the strength to weather any sky! Your happiness is all I need, it’s the compass to my soul Whatever storms are coming, our love will make us whole. (Guitar/Instrumental Solo) (Chorus) You’re afraid of the regret if we take a chance and fall But what if the greatest tragedy is never jumping at all? Imagine waking up tomorrow, and every day until we're old Living with the ghost of a story we left untold I don't want to spend forever wondering what we could have been Let's not break our own hearts just to play it safe again. (Outro) Don't let the fear of tomorrow steal the magic of today The only real mistake we can make is walking away So risk it all with me Don't leave us as a memory Let's write the story... Take my hand. (Fade out)
