Treacherous

Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus, eye to eye
Till the gravity's too much

I knew it was wrong yet I couldn't help wanting it more. Maybe it was the thrill of the chase that drew me to him, either way, there was no turning back.

And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand

I'd do anything for him and he knew that. Countless passionate encounters were proof of that. Once he had you in his sights, he wouldn't let you escape that easily. The more you tried, the more he sucked you in.

This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
And I, I, I like it

That wasn't to say I didn't like it. Our nights may have been emotionless and uncommitted but they were some of the best nights of my life.

I can't decide if it's a choice
Getting swept away
I hear the sound of my own voice
Asking you to stay
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along
Forever going with the flow, but you're friction

We never went beyond kissing, I refused to go any further than that, because I wanted my first time to be special. But every night I found myself asking him to stay. The answer was always the same, no, he had work or other girls to use like he was using me.

This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
And I, I, I like it

But for some reason, I liked it, and that scared me.

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will
Follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...

Those few night when we weren't together, I would follow him home anyway and hide behind the bushes in his garden, just to catch a glimpse of him. All I could think about all night and all day was him, his voice, his touch, his lips. I wanted him. I needed him.

This hope is treacherous
This daydream is dangerous
This hope is treacherous
I, I, I... I, I, I... I, I, I...

It was hopeless. He'd never see me as anything more than a casual make out buddy. That was all I'd ever be to him and I knew as much.

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will
Follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...
I'll follow you, follow you home...

But I couldn't help feeling, as I watched his car pull up through my window, that I could do so much better than Corny Collins.

This slope is treacherous
I, I, I like it
