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
And 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
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 thatu0027s just an easy out
From picking up your heart's call
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
Youu0027d 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
A cold heart surrounded with
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
I guess that's what you get
for leaving things unsaid
