If I was awake for days
Would you come and tuck a blanket over me
If I got lost in this maze
Would you cut the hedges down to set me free
He said let's go
Drive into the stratosphere
He said let's go
I only feel alive when you're here
If I fall short of your grace
Would you come and wipe the blood off on your sleeves
Love's only love when it scares the shit out of you
I need that threat, that red and blue
Hold me like a sawed off .45
Aim at my heart like a bullseye
If you walked all over me
I'd roll a red carpet over my body
If you drowned me in the sea
I'd be in the tides that run across your feet
He said let's go
Leave before we see the dawn
He said let's go
I want this night to go on and on
If you're asking me to stay
From your side I promise I will never stray
Love's only love when it scares the shit out of you
I need that threat, that red and blue
Hold me like a sawed off .45
Aim at my heart like a bullseye
Cross my heart and hope to die
Never make me cry
Needle in my eye
I'd let you lead me blind
Cross my heart and hope to die
Never make me cry
Needle in my eye
I'd let you lead me blind
Come on darling, waste my time
Stay awake all night
The stars are shining bright
Bathe me in moonlight
Come on darling, waste my time
Stay awake all night
The stars are shining bright
Bathe me in moonlight
Love's only love when it scares the shit out of you
I need that threat, that red and blue
Hold me like a sawed off .45
Aim at my heart like a bullseye
Only love, only love in the afternoon
I need that red if it makes me blue
Hold me like a bomb ready to blow
If you never try, you'll never know
