The Only Way to Love lyrics

For you, the coast is clear

Bury my fear, you're the edge of the ocean

The tide follows what's rights

And so have I

You say, "Let's get out of here"

There's a danger when you feel without thinking

In this moment what I fear, I need the most

I wanna run, but I won't get very far

'Cause I can't fight the force of my young beating heart

Like a soldier steady march, answering the call

It's the only way to love

Now, we walk the streets

The city speaks the tales of paramours

The wave, it comes for me

Am I brave enough to let go?

We are walking up the stairs to your apartment

You open up the door and let me in

I wanna run, but I won't get very far

'Cause I can't fight the force of my young beating heart

Like a soldier steady march, answering the call

It's the only way to love

The energy comes

Feel a rush, it will move you

The energy goes

And you trust it will come back again

Our hands will trace

Out a map that is ancient

Drawing our fate

All of this pain an illusion

I wanna run, but I won't get very far

'Cause I can't fight the force of my young beating heart

Like a soldier steady march, answering the call

It's the only way to ...

I wanna run, I won't get very far

'Cause I can't fight the force of my young beating heart

Like a soldier steady march, answering the call

It's the only way to love

You're the edge of the ocean
