"Same Dumb Excuse" Lyrics

I should be brave with nothing to lose,
That's how I was until the day I met you,
Now I'm afraid that I don't know what to do,
A couple of things I've really got to tell you.

Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane,
All sounds easier than what I've got to say,
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea,
All sounds easier than me telling it to you straight,

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you,
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth,
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cuz, I've got nothing to lose,
I've got nothing to lose
but you

To get you to laugh, to get you to smile,
To get you to tell the world that you're on my side,
Would make me a star at least in your eyes,
Let's take on the world, but first,
I got to make you mine,

Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane,
All sounds easier than what I've got to say,
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea,
All sounds easier than me telling it to your face.

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cuz, I've got nothing to lose,
I've got nothing to lose
but you

Though the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down

I should be brave, with nothing to lose
That's how I was until the day I met you

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth,
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
Cuz, I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose
but you

Though the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down
I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
