It's like we're walking a wire
And we're scared of the height
It's like we're caught in a fire
And it's burning our eyes
But every time we run away
I still miss you every day-
And I know that you're feeling the same
I surrender this war-
Got my hands out for more
Forget about the world tonight-
And everything that isn't right
Just wrap yourself around me-
As the universe collides
It's alright, say goodnight-
Nothing's ever perfect
So just close your eyes-
Just close your eyes
And forget about the world tonight
Yeah-
We were two kids in high school
Playing love by the rules
But now we're two lovers
Longing for the youth that we knew
We both wanna make it last
But we're haunted by the past
And I just can't keep living this way
I surrender this war-
Got my hands out for more
Forget about the world tonight-
And everything that isn't right
Just wrap yourself around me-
As the universe collides
It's alright, say goodnight-
Nothing's ever perfect
So just close your eyes-
Just close your eyes
And forget about the world tonight
Forget about the bills
Forget about your pills
Forget about your broke-down Volvo
Forget about the clicks-
The fakers, they hate today
Just like they hate tomorrow
We're still going strong-
Those folks never thought we'd last so long
When everything else in this life collides
Let's forget about the world tonight-
Yeah, forget about the world tonight
Yeah
Forget about the world tonight-
And everything that isn't right
Just wrap yourself around me-
As the universe collides
It's alright, say goodnight-
Nothing's ever perfect
So just close your eyes-
Just close your eyes
And forget about the world tonight
It's alright, say goodnight-
Nothing's ever perfect
So just close your eyes-
Just close your eyes
And forget about the world tonight
