Happiness & Disaster

You couldn't find two people more
Different on the shores of love
And wading in together is dangerous
'Til she grabs you by the wrist
Disarms you with a kiss, and you
Forget about the angry shadows hanging
Round your neck
But we're giving it all anyway
Though it may be a mistake
We're swimming between the waves of
Happiness and disaster
And I don't know any other way than to
Live just for the day
Then let the shadows come
And carry me away

We're floating in between the stars
As I'm kissing all your scars
That made you beautiful and strong
And me not relate
When we finally wake up, after coming down
You'll find the angry shadows have tied
Me to the ground

But we're giving it all anyway
Though it may be a mistake
We're swimming between the waves of
Happiness and disaster
And I don't know any other way than to
Live just for the day
Then let the shadows come
And carry me away

We're never far from the battle
And you never shine in my shadow
No we're never far from the battle
And you never shine in my shadow

Now we're finally finding out
What we got ourselves into

But we're giving it all anyway
Though it may be a mistake
We're swimming between the waves of
Happiness and disaster
And I don't know any other way than to
Live just for the day
Then let the shadows come
And carry me away
