To lose you
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
