You must keep this all together
And think about the future
You must ask each other lovingly
If you want to live together
And build a little family
And build a little life
If you will someday be a husband
And if she will someday be your wife
And if all you're doing is waiting
Wasting each other's time
If you're getting ready to hurt someone
It should go down as a crime.

Chorus:
Because it's time to get serious
You could hurt somebody trying
To dance around this thing called love
Someone could end out dying
Because it's time to get serious
And put words into action
Don't be afraid of what will happen
It's time to get some traction.

If you want to give everything
To someone you really like.
You should start with saying "I love you"
"And I want you in my life."
And think about the magic
That you and them will share.
Take charge of your feelings
Drop all the bullshit that makes you scared,
Knock down any boundaries,
That have no business there.
Because no one waits forever
For a flame that isn't there.

Chorus

If you want to be the last one
That they will see by their side
As the autumn leaves are falling
And one of your will die.
If you think that you can give out
Everything they'll need
Hold their hand and wipe the wounds away
In times when they might bleed
Check them into the hospital
If they ever go mad
And push them in a wheelchair
If a torso was all they had, then
