If I had to choose you or the world

I guess the other 7 billion people should watch out

Because I would rather dance with you in the ruins of what once was 

To see what will be

Because the world could be burning and we would dance as it did


If I had to choose you or movies

Well I never really liked movies anyways

They were always too temporary for me

I like TV shows and books more anyways 

They last longer


If I had to choose you or music

The sound of your voice would be soothing enough 

Because your laughter alone would be all I need


If I had to choose you or the summer

I always liked snow

Living in Texas we never see too much of it anyways

So it would be a nice change


If I had to choose you or my friends 

We are friendly enough


If I had to choose you or my family

You would simply become my family


If I had to choose you or my dreams

You are my dream 


If I had to choose you or my life

It would always be you


Every time it would be you 

It has to be you 

Because if it’s not you 

Then I have wasted my time

Because if my heart has failed me again

What will I do 

If I have to suffer again

So does everyone else

Because I don’t know how much more of this I can take


Year after year

Day after day 

Minute after minute


I have watched as other people have found their person 

When is it my turn

I have tried and tried 

I thought I found my person 10 people ago 

I thought I had finally done it

But I didn’t 

So it has to be you

Because if it’s not you

I don’t know how much more of this I can take


Because if it’s not you 

Then I lost my friends

My family

The warmth of a summer day

The melody of music

The thrill of a movie 

The lives of 7 billion people 


Just to lose you too


If I had to choose you or the world I would choose you 

But would you choose me
