Dangerous Connection
O.A.R Live Lyrics

I never wanted anything like this
I never expected or desired to be in a situation like this.

You're right beside me, don't know who I missed
Although you are physically present, our emotional connection is lacking.

Send me a smile, I know you'll do your best
I am trying to encourage you to show affection or emotion towards me, even if it may not come naturally.

Your heart's a suspect are we faking this
I am unsure of the sincerity of our relationship, as it appears that you may not be fully invested.

All I can say it's a big surprise
The current state of our relationship has caught me off guard and I did not expect it to be this difficult.

Watching those colors change inside your eyes
I am observing the subtle changes in your emotions and trying to decipher what they mean.

Blue to gray, yeah
Your emotions seem to go from happy to sad quickly and frequently.

I turn away
I am avoiding the situation or the discussion, as it is causing more harm than good.

All it does is turn you on
Despite my actions, you seem to become more interested in me and our relationship.

Baby this night was all a dream
The events of this evening seem too surreal or unlikely to have actually happened.

Maybe daylight won't ask me questions
Perhaps in the light of day, I will not be confronted with the consequences of my actions or emotions.

Maybe this night was all a dream
Maybe what happened tonight wasn't real and was only in our minds.

A dangerous connection
Our relationship is causing more harm than good and may lead to negative consequences.

What a dangerous connection
Our relationship is clearly problematic and hazardous to both of us.

You seem to find a way to tear apart
You have a tendency to pick apart and criticize our conversations or interactions, causing arguments.

Every discussion leaves new battle scars
Every time we try to talk out our issues, it feels like emotional damage is being done to both of us.

When it hurts to love you
Loving you is becoming more and more painful due to our issues and problems.

I just numb the pain
I try to emotionally disconnect from the situation in order to not feel as much pain or hurt.

But I'm having trouble feeling anything
My attempt to numb the pain has left me feeling emotionally empty and unsure of how to proceed.

And you want for answers
You are seeking answers to our relationship problems or why I am behaving a certain way.

And I can't reply
I am unable to give you satisfactory answers or respond to your questions in a helpful way.

Take my advances
I am attempting to show you affection or make progress in our relationship.

Is my way to try
I am hoping that by making these advances, we will be able to move forward and improve our situation.

You again, yeah
Despite our problems, I still have feelings for you and want to make things work.

Maybe this night was all for me
Perhaps this experience was more about me and my emotions than about our relationship.

Maybe daylight won't ask us questions
Maybe in the daylight, we will both be able to avoid further emotional conversations or confrontations.

Oh maybe everything is a dangerous connection
Perhaps our entire relationship is problematic and detrimental to our emotional wellbeing and happiness.
