DISASTERS (DON'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY)


when a crazy gunman passes by
and lets his random bullets fly
would i fall upon the floor to cry?
i’d rather think that i’d be brave
and jump in front of you to save your life
but until that gunman passes by
i guess we’ll never know
so maybe there’s another way that i
can find to show you that
i’m just crazy about you

cos it would be a shame if it wasn’t ‘til i died
in some last heroic gesture, that you finally decide
that all along my love was strong and true
disasters don’t happen every day
and i guess that that’s okay
but in the meantime you’ll have to believe me when i say
i’m completely, indiscreetly and concretely in love with you

when the hurricane blows us both away
or the cars pile up on the motorway
i’d like to think that i would save the day
as the buildings crumble into dust
i’d be someone you could trust
but then again i may just
hide my head in fear and run away
until that hurricane arrives i guess we’ll never know
but for now it seems that i’ve got to find another way to show you
i’m just crazy about you

cos it would be a shame if it wasn’t till my death
when i told you i adored you with my dying breath
that at last you saw my love was sure and true
i can’t go dying every day
and i hope that that’s okay
but in the meantime you’ll just have to believe me when i say
that i’m absolutely, resolutely and acutely in love with you
