Landmines

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
Holding on to you is like guarding a grenade
Slow dancing on landmines
It's only a matter of time

Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow dancing on landmines
Love is a target
With my heart painted on it
Love is a target
With my heart painted on it
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
Any minute now
I know it's gonna blow up in my face
Slow dancing on landmines
It's only a matter of time

Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow dancing on landmines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Holding on to you
Holding on to you is like
Slow dancing on landmines
It's only a matter of time

Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow dancing on landmines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target
