Catches

Think of tea cup rides and bumper cars You close your eyes when it gets really fast We're white knuckles on a steering wheel We're not off the road, but we're far too near Dust goes flying and I slam the breaks We're both dramatic, we raise the stakes Stand defeated, back we turn Or let us crash and watch us burn Your smile says 'darling, I could break your heart' We could hold each other but your grip's too hard Is it safer not to strike that match To resist the urge because fire catches Cowboy riding, you're in the ring Red flags flying, we know this game I saw your body, heard your name Our eyes meet and it's my first flame Your smile says 'darling, I could break your heart' We could hold each other but your grip's too hard Is it safer not to strike that match To resist the urge because fire catches Would you put me in my place As a candle on your window frame And in a moment set me free And I get out, burn everything Would you put me in my place As a candle on your window frame And in a moment set me free And I get out, burn everything
