I saw the morning lights
so lover you're the one that pulled the trigger
ain't that a thing?
well this is red alert
and I don't mind saying I'm scared
cause I could try and try and never ready feel prepared
it's only for the things that matter only for the things that ready count
I wouldn't have it any other way
so now you're talking again
I simply don't want to know
life is too surprising as it is
I ain't no boyfriend
I got me these magical properties
I got three spells to cast, and intend to make them last
it's only for the things that matter only for the things that really count
I wouldn't have it any other way
so now you're crying again
not your most attractive state
I really wonder what I'm doing with you here
but whatever cause this is playing with wire
my heart broke down entire
and lets be honest yeah
they don't stay broken all that long
it's only for the things that matter only for the thngs that really count
I wouldn't have it any other way
