Tick Tock goes the time bomb hanging on the wall
Eleven fifty-nine reads the grandfather clock
One minute till it all begins to fall apart.
Sounds oh so familiar
A midnight ending to our fairytale
Ballroom dancing in an empty hall
Where the echoes of a symphony
Are all that keep you company
Now its time for me
To contemplate a logical response
To the reality of my temptation
The gravity of our situation
Ballroom dancing in an empty hall
Where the echoes of a symphony
Are all that keep you company
Accompanied by the sound of a life you should have taken
Forgive if I’m mistaken
(But) The choices you chose and you choose and you’ve chosen
Set the tempo of the waltz we dance
Behold our circumstance:
Time is up we’ve had our fun
Shards of glass cut deep the rain against my skin
As you turn and run
I sit and stare wondering how it came unglued
How can I chase somebody
Who doesn’t wish to be pursued?
A stoic expression on my face
Marks utter boredom with this sequence
Every night we play this charade
Why can’t we leave it in the past tense?
Ballroom dancing in an empty hall
Ballroom dancing with no one at all
(Yeah) I need to contemplate a logical response
To the reality of my temptation
The gravity of our situation
Ballroom dancing in an empty hall
Where the echoes of a symphony
Are all that keep you company
They’re all that keep you company
You know you could mean more to me
But instead you run away you don’t dare stay
And see what is you’re running from
The air is stagnant there’s no where to flee
If the shoe fits put it on and dance with me
Open your eyes and contemplate a logical response
To the reality of your temptation
The gravity of our situation
(We’re) Ballroom dancing in an empty hall
Where your body is a symphony
Its beauty keeps me company
