I saw you nursing your sorrows by the stairwell
A likely place for a strategic retreat
That's one thing you and I have in common
May I ask you if I could take a seat?
This thing of ours is special, let's not stunt the momentum
By going for half-measures or a trade-off instead
If we're gonna jump, how high, into the deep end
Let's make a decision before we both drop dead

I barely have bearings on my current disposition
And sneaking suspicions that you're one and the same
Impulsive, petty, prone to petulant impatience
If you're keen to drop the ball then know that I am game
Why don't you and I go and get together sometime?

I'm not too good at picking up on tension
Must have missed your red flags waving from your hands
When I've been made the focus of attention
Your semaphore performance I didn't understand
I too take comfort that you didn't second glance
At my myriad failures and flaws on exhibition
So in a sense, we're reading from the same page
We are beings purely fueled by lack of inhibition

I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did
I'm not gonna be the one to hit the skids
You got me to the dance, there's no time for second thoughts
Like it or not, baby, we are all we got
Why don't you and I go and get together sometime?

Closer to the edge than I've ever been before
So look into my eyes before we jump overboard
And if we pull together 'gainst the forces of dispersion
You and I could count as one whole functioning person
Why don't you and I go and get together sometime?
