Do you know what it feels like to get everything you want?
(For your entire life)
You know the cards on the table never lie
(we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die)
'Cause everything happening all at once
is getting too much, I fear
(too much, I fear)
Just don't leave me to blame at the turn of the tide
(at the turn of the tide)

Do you even recognize who you see in the shards of your glass?
(How long will he last?)
He's getting too close to make his features out
(but surely you see him in yourself)
Can he feel it shifting? (Can he feel it shifting?)
The weight of every second (the weight of every second)
It's all in the stars, don't you know?
Shoot a hole through his pose just for the mention
(so I'll tune it out, so I'll tune it out)

It's just another night in this old town
Keep waiting on a miracle to come around
You'll trip over yourself just to keep him down
'Cause at least it's safe on the ground

[Verse 3]
So who would you rather be this time?
(Just make your choice before we die)
And who would you rather be this time?
(This time, this time-I-I-I-ime)
It's not hard to keep holding your tongue
unless you wanna leave it behind
So who would you rather be this time?

What would it take? (Take, take)
To quit juggling loose ends and tie them with old threads and
There's so much at stake (so much)
To bring up some new tensions all over again
So why did it take so long just to make you roll the dice?
(Just one more time)
And I couldn't make it wrong anymore than you made it right

It's just another night in limbo
with these cold hands on my skin
And if you really need an intro
I'll get this out, so we can get it in

Just make your choice before we die
This time, this time
Just make your choice before we die
This time, this time
It's not hard to keep holding your tongue
unless you wanna leave it behind
So who would you rather be this time?
