Square One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Roll the dice, double two
No more us, no me and you
What a struggle, I took a risk
Another life, another kiss
I start again, it keeps going
We're best friends, not even knowing
I win the race, and then I fall
I gave it up to have it all

[Pre-Chorus]
We let go of love so we can go again
We don't hesitate to let somebody in
To build a home just to get lost (Hey)
We fire it up just to burn it off

[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold hands with a stranger
I don't wanna walk when I just learnt how to run
I don't wanna care 'cause it's human nature
I don't wanna go-go-go-go back to square one

[Post-Chorus]
Said she don't-don't wanna go back to square one
I just wanna be the one
[Verse 2]
In the dark, it's brand new
You're teaching me, I'm teaching you
Imagination, I wanna please
But I'm tired of the tease
Give me substance, I need soul
Not just a moment to come and go
It's not simple, it never is
Another life, another kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
We let go of love so we can go again
We don't hesitate to let somebody in
To build a home just to get lost (Hey)
We fire it up just to burn it off (Whoo)

[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold hands with a stranger
I don't wanna walk when I just learned how to run
I don't wanna care cause it's human nature
I don't wanna go-go-go-go back to square one
Don't take me back now

[Post-Chorus 2]
Said she don't wanna go-go back to square one
She just wanna find the one
Someone that she needs, she needs, she needs (Everybody sing)
She don't wanna go-go back to square one
She just wanna find the one
Someone that she needs, she needs, she needs
Jessie
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hold hands with a stranger
I don't wanna walk when I just learned how to run
I don't wanna care 'cause it's human nature
I don't wanna go-go-go-go, no...
I don't wanna hold hands with a stranger
I don't wanna walk when I just learned how to run
I don't wanna care 'cause it's human nature
I don't wanna go-go-go-go back to square one

[Outro]
Said she don't wanna go-go back to square one
She just wanna find the one
Someone that she needs, she needs, she needs

How to Format Lyrics:
