Agony or Ecstasy

I've been playing with love
Holding my cards to my chest
Been keeping in practice
Holding out for the best
But one night with you
And it's harder to cope
My mind worries
My heart hopes
I think it's gonna be
Agony or Ecstasy

I've been walking this road
That I truly understand
But it goes round in circles
And it's made out of sand
You pull me into the underbrush
Where everything's a blur
My mind's confused
But my heart is sure
I feel it's gonna be
Agony or Ecstasy

'Cause for you
I'll take a chance
With you
A shot at romance

When I look in your eyes
I see two crystal balls
In one, I dance down an alley
In the other I just crawl
No one knows
The true alternatives
So my mind curses
My heart forgives
I know it's gonna be
Agony or Ecstasy
