Dangerous Thing
Dangerous Thing: Embracing Love's Risk
Lyrics
Under my arm, over my chest
Close physical proximity, feeling your presence intimately
Your hair against my cheek
Feeling your hair against my cheek, a tender and intimate moment
Roll DVR as we obsess
Recording our favorite shows to watch later, indicating shared interests
About our shows this week
Discussing and focusing on TV shows we enjoy
Could it be right to be
Questioning the rightness of feeling incredibly fortunate
So lucky, so sugar sweet
Expressing amazement at how incredibly sweet and fortunate the situation feels
They say that life ain’t fair I’m not complaining
Acknowledging the unfairness of life but not complaining due to current happiness
Better hold me down
Requesting to be held down or grounded in the current blissful moment
Run me to ground
Asking to be prevented from floating away, to remain present
Someone’s been granting all my wishes
Feeling as if wishes are being granted, possibly by the person being addressed
It’s a dangerous thing
Expressing that being in such a situation is risky or precarious
It’s a dangerous thing to be loved
Reiterating the idea that being loved in this way is risky
Loved by someone so divine
Describing the person's love as divine and incredibly special
Throw me a line
Asking for a lifeline before getting too accustomed to affection
‘Fore I get used to all these kisses
Feeling the need for a boundary before becoming too comfortable with kisses
It’s a dangerous thing
Reiterating the danger of being loved in this intense manner
It’s a dangerous thing to be loved
Reaffirming the risk and danger of being loved in such a profound way
Loved by you
Specifically referencing being loved by the person being addressed
Small of your back, palm of your hand
Describing intimate physical touch, suggesting closeness
They’re playing something slow
Setting the scene of slow, romantic music playing
Ivory and black, this baby grand
Describing the piano being played, possibly in the same romantic setting
We’re moving with the notes
Moving or dancing to the music's rhythm, enjoying the moment
Real life ain’t supposed to go
Comparing the current situation to what is perceived as normal life, indicating its uniqueness
Nothing like this you know
Highlighting the extraordinary nature of the current experience
You stitching angel wings on all my hopes
Feeling uplifted and inspired by the person's support and encouragement
So if you’re leading me along
Acknowledging being deeply committed and emotionally invested
Just know that I am far gone
Signaling that the person is deeply involved or emotionally attached
