Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i feel dangerous
to be honest
I'm trying to conceal it
but I've been dangerous
for a while

though we don't need reality
hear me speak

stop to think
you might have missed an echo

if you want to play for keeps
start off easy
i want to make sure that you

slowdown with your love
slow down with your love

you think you think you think you got it now
i think i think i think I'm falling out
we sink we sink we drag each-other down

I found a way for us
We need a bit of luck

When were together love
We are so dangerous
