[Verse 1]
What are we doin
Going through the motions
Can you tell me baby
What are we doin
Floating cross an ocean
Of uncertainty
In what we are doing

I'd be lying
I'd be lying
If I said I wasn't scared of it all
I'd be lying
I'd be lying
If I said I wasn't afraid to fall

Call it fear of failure
Maybe I'm
Maybe I'm
Maybe I'm
Just afraid to fail her

[Verse 2]
Baby, no I can't front
I can't have you waiting
So afraid that you'll be done
And we will soon be fadin
No It's not that I don't love
You and who you are baby
Just would hate if you gave up
Your life and world because of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather have you leave
Then go through hell with me
Let me tell you what I think
Let me ask you one more thing

[Chorus]
How can you be sure
That what you want is this love
That you won't give it up
How can you be sure
We ain't wasting our time
Putting it all on the line
How can you be sure
