Dangerous Love Is The Only One

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Two houses on the same dead-end street

Her father's porch light burns for me to leave

I count the seconds till the block goes dark

Then I slip through the fence past the barking dogs

Her window opens just a crack

She climbs down soft so the boards don't crack

We both know the cost of a single touch

But the cost of never is way too much

Pre-Chorus

So meet me where the water runs

Under the bridge when the workday's done

Chorus

It's dangerous to love you girl

And you know it's dangerous to love me too

Two families drew a line in the world

But the line can't hold what we do

Meet me under the bridge tonight

Where the bright lights hum and the river runs

Nobody stops us nobody can

Dangerous love is the only one

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Her mama says I'm the wrong kind of son

My brother swears he'll break my jaw if I run

I bite my tongue and I nod and I smile

Then I'm gone by the time the clock strikes nine

Every warning they hand me I fold in my coat

Every threat that they whisper I let it float

Cause a girl like her is a war I'd choose

And a war like this I refuse to lose

Pre-Chorus

So meet me where the water runs

Under the bridge when the workday's done

Chorus

It's dangerous to love you girl

And you know it's dangerous to love me too

Two families drew a line in the world

But the line can't hold what we do

Meet me under the bridge tonight

Where the bright lights hum and the river runs

Nobody stops us nobody can

Dangerous love is the only one

Bridge

I'm heartbroke that I can't hold you right

You're heartbroke that I can't be your life

But the hurt don't scare me half as much

As a future without your face in it once

So I'll wait

I'll wait

I'll wait

Verse 3

Years roll by like gravel under my tires

I keep a ring in my pocket through the fires

She writes my name on the back of her hand

I carve hers in the railing where we stand

They can bar the doors and they can lock the gates

They can move her a thousand miles away

But I'll walk the whole map just to see her face

Cause nothing they build can outlast the chase

Pre-Chorus

So meet me where the water runs

Under the bridge when the workday's done

Chorus

It's dangerous to love you girl

And you know it's dangerous to love me too

Two families drew a line in the world

But the line can't hold what we do

Meet me under the bridge tonight

Where the bright lights hum and the river runs

Nobody stops us nobody can

Dangerous love is the only one

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

And one night we just don't go back

No suitcase no map no looking back

We build a little home by the water's edge

You and me and maybe a kid or two

Maybe more

Maybe more

We grow old and sickly side by side

Still holding hands under the bright lights

Forever

Forever

Yeah
