[Verse 1]
I always fall for the poetic liars
Faulty wires, sandcastles and fairy tales
Deep down I think it's all I deserve
Believing words will do what they say they will
[Pre]
Holding on to you is like guarding a grenade
[Chorus]
Slow dancing on land mines
It's only a matter of time
Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow-dancing on land mines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
[Verse 2]
I swim with sharks in the neon dark
I'm quick to make a joke
Stay too busy to fall apart
Can't talk about it
But I can put it in a song
Maybe no one will get it
But at least they'll sing along
[Pre]
Any minute now, I know it's gonna blow up in my face
[Chorus]
Slow dancing on land mines
It's only a matter of time
Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow-dancing on land mines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
[Pre]
Holding onto you is like guarding a grenade
Holding onto you is like
[Chorus]
Slow dancing on land mines
It's only a matter of time
Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow-dancing on land mines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
[Outro]
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target
