the alternative

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?
