[Verse 1]
It took a lot of me to get back up from sleeping
All my weight, the pressure and the floor
There isn't more in a waking day than dreaming
Or so I thought
[Verse 2]
You came to me at the speed of a bad decision
Just the speed, the bad not so much
We held each other while everything burned up 'round us
And inside of me, too
That's called love
[Verse 3]
The traffic lights light up as we stand kissing
And the car horns play along
And though the sign says stop and look and listen
We don't do that shit anymore
[Chorus]
And he said "So, do you ever wanna leave here?"
And she said "Well, that depends on the day"
And he said "Oh, do you even wanna be here?"
And she said "Well that depends on the way"
[Verse 4]
I guess we never really had that much in common
'Cept the days the nights and the cold
And though we don't really talk about it often
The fear of this getting old
[Verse 5]
You didn't listen when I told you I'm no dancer
Now I dance alone all the time
In the same room where I learned about the cancer
And you just held your head to mine
[Chorus]
And you said "So, do you ever wanna leave here?"
And I said "Well, that depends on the day"
And you said "Oh, do you even wanna be here?"
And I said "Well, that depends on the way"

I’d never really written about love in the present tense before this, but even though I was still in love and not thinking about the end, there was something else going on subconsciously that led to a song about moving on before the moving on had begun.
