Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If there was anyone I'd want to spend about a hundred days with
Laying in the yard, staring up at stars, wondering where all the planes went
[Verse 2]
It would be you
Only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
Always you
And when the lights go out
We'll just keep on dancing in the dark
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up in my arms
In my arms, oh
[Verse 3]
And we'll leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcasting
Just making drinks instead of plans, while the record player's blasting
[Verse 4]
I sing, it would be you
And only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
And always you
And when the lights go out
We'll just keep on dancing in the dark
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up in my arms
[Verse 5]
If the sky turns black, if the markets crash
You should check your mom's house, then you should come back
'Cause when it all goes down, I want you by my side
We could stay up till the last sunrise
We could stay up until the last sunrise
[Verse 6]
It would be you
And only you
We might not have forever
No time for taking chances
It would be you
And always you
When the lights go out
We can keep on dancing in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
It would be you till the end of the world
Till the end of the world, yeah
'Cause if the world has got to end
You might as well just end up
In my arms
