Third single release in the monthly dirty dozen.

lyrics

Maybe I misheard
Love is such a similar to loath I suppose
Maybe you're confused
Desires not dis-similar in the eyes of the bruised

If not tonight
Then when
What are we waiting for to end
I ask you to please seize the day while it's light
And I hold on with all my might

If not tonight
Then when
Will this awkward dance ever end
I'm spinning dizzily by your side
And I hold on with all my might
Even If it's not right
We could call it a day and still walk away
With some of our pride

'Cos at least we'd have tried
Maybe I misheard
Love is such a similar to loath I suppose
Maybe you're confused

If not today
Then soon
I hear an opportunity loom we're missing
To kiss away tears that have dried
And I hold on with all my might

If not tonight
Then when
Will this whole charade that we're friends
Be shattered
What matters is what happens then
And then again
Please hold on tight and lie
But don't look in my eyes
'Cos I might not survive
