Every car I get into could crash

But oh, man, do I love going fast

There′s a chance that this plane's going downBut I don′t wanna stay on the ground

Since I found myself another half

Part of me says, "Don't get too attached"

What if time's gonna number our days?

Guess my heart′s gonna break, either way

Love is a risk

But what′s the alternative?

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)

But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

When the planet keeps spinning around

I′d be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Life is short, things could change in a blink

Every time I jump in, I might sink

But what better way to learn how to swim?

So screw it, I'm diving back in

Love is a risk

But what′s the alternative?

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)

But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

When the planet keeps spinning around

I′d be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

There's some days I can't believe you′re really gone

It′s tempting me to build a fort out of our sheets

To stay inside and never leave

Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)

But what's the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Maybe sleeping at night all alone

Going it all on my own

Love is a risk (ah-ah-ah)

But what′s the alternative? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

When the planet keeps spinning around

I'd be somewhere missing out (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

What′s the alternative?
