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.
