Nowhere have I found anything more perfect
than the perfect illusion of your love unfurled;
a master magician would have no better effect
unlocking love but now it's me against the world.
Anything less than honesty is expensive
so I'll confront this soulless challenge you twirled
to prove, that nothing less apprehensive
will attack my side: me against the world.
If we seem to go in circles then leap off
this merry-go-round of love before you're hurled
but remember if you leave me here in the trough
it's always going to be me against the world.
Even now I listen for the tumblers to fall true
but if the lock never opens or your heart uncurl,
well, I have nothing left to lose except for you
then goodbye again, it's me against the world.
