Dropping the Ball

Lightning in a bottle, babe, can't let the spark go out

Lucky if it's once a lifetime, guess it's luck that you found

All your baggage from the past still light enough to carry around, oh

A lot had to go right just to cross paths

Get a little bit closer, and just like that

Mirrors in your eyes, mirrors in your eyes

One step forward and two steps back

Just a little bit closer, and just like that

Mirrors in your eyes, mirrors in your eyes

Out of the desert, yeah, we barely made it

A cold heart surrounded with a barricade

Feel so alive, but still inside

You're scared of dropping the ball, hitting a wall, losing it all

Feel so alive, but still inside

So scared of dropping the ball, hitting a wall, losing it all

You say it's better to have loved and lost than never love at all

But I swear that's just an easy out from picking up your heart's call, oh

No more drinking just to keep from thinking

Gonna let it fall where it falls

You can't stand to lose

Can't stand to lose

I know it's all in your head

You'd rather leave things unsaid

But the closer that we get

I bet it

I bet it goes straight to your head

Like it's better left unsaid

But the closer that we get

I let it

Straight out the desert, yeah, we barely made it

Just barely

A cold heart surrounded with a barricade

Feel so alive, but still inside

You're scared of dropping the ball, hitting a wall, losing it all

Feel so alive, but it's terrifying

To think of dropping the ball, hitting a wall, losing it all

I know it's all in your head, yeah, yeah

All in your head

I guess that's what you get

For leaving things unsaid
