I lost my nerve
I lost my nerve again
I don’t know how it stemmed
The tension grew in that dim-lit room
Until your eyes flushed out like a flume

She said,
Whatever happened to the sunny days and late nights
Where we would spill out our minds?
And we’d lose track of the time
Because I’ve got this feeling that you’re drifting away
So tell me something good
To make me believe

So make me believe
That there’s no one in this world with a love like you
Make me believe
That I’ll never wind up broken, torn or bruised

I felt ashamed
I thought we’d lost our flame
But it held out through the rain
It climbed the wick
As the time-bomb ticked
And the skies turned cloudy and grey

She said,
Sometimes it feels just like we’re falling in a nosedive
And there’s no chance we’ll survive
The pilot’s too drunk to fly
But I’ve got something inside me
Telling me to hold on tight
There’s still some time before this whole thing ignites

So make me believe
That there’s no one in this world with a love like you
Make me believe
That I’ll never wind up broken, torn or bruised
Make me believe
That you’ll never cross my step or curb my dreams
Baby please
Because I can’t deny our chemistry

So what are you waiting for?
You’ve got this shot here waiting for you
And what are you running from?
Are you afraid that all your dreams would come true?

Oh, you gotta
Shake, shake, shake up the dice sometimes
You’ve gotta spin the wheel and see,
Oh, you gotta
(take a gamble, take a gamble on me)
Trust, trust, trust in your gut sometimes
You’ve gotta take a leap of faith out to me

Because I can’t jump off this bridge alone
So make me believe

So make me believe
That there’s no one in this world with a love like you
Make me believe
That I’ll never wind up broken, torn or bruised
Make me believe
That you’ll never cross my step or curb my dreams
Baby please
Because I can’t deny our chemistry
