I can feel the tension in the air tonight
So thick that you and I could take a bite
My logic left me stranded right inside of the fight
Just 10 minutes ago all of it was working right

And ooh
Our emotions are flying high
What's it gonna take
To keep them on the ground tonight?

It's like communicating with an alien race
I've got to learn the language but it's way too late
I'm trying to work the puzzle forming on your face
Can we turn these pirate flags from black to white
And try to make it right

You know it's not my intention to antagonize
You look hot when you got that crazy look in your eye
We're throwing words at each other like a snowball fight
In the end you'll discover that we're covered in ice

And ooh
Our emotions are flying high
What's it gonna take
To bring them back down to the ground tonight?

It's like communicating with an alien race
I've got to learn the language but it's way too late
I'm trying to work the puzzle forming on your face
Can we turn these pirate flags from black to white
And try to make it right

Please forget
These words have turned to weapons
I don't wanna stab you with my point just to make one
I know that love would lay it down and look to Heaven
To Heaven

It's like communicating with an alien race
I've got to learn the language but it's way too late
I'm trying to work the puzzle forming on your face
Can we turn these pirate flags from black to white
And try to make it right
