Lyrics
Straight Into Disaster
You might feel it in my kiss
I come undone when we get like this
I want you
But I don't want to want you
I know I'm not what you need
Still I never hesitate
To pull you into me like a tidal wave
We're running straight into disaster
Look ahead the heartache's coming closer
But you grab my hand and now we're running faster
I close my eyes I know it's almost over
We're living on borrowed time
Loving like we're out of our minds
We're running straight into disaster
I know you see a dead end in my eyes
A future that you could never hold
And I see regret and wishes and pain
And love that never gets old
You know I'm not what you need
Still you never hesitate
To pull me into you like a hurricane
We're running straight into disaster
Look ahead the heartache's coming closer
But you grab my hand and now we're running faster
I close my eyes I know it's almost over
We're living on borrowed time
Laughing like we're out of our minds
We're running straight into disaster
Your heart is beating as fast as mine
And we can't slow down
There's no way to turn around
We're running straight into disaster
Look ahead the heartache's coming closer
But you grab my hand and now we're running faster
I close my eyes I know it's almost over
Living on borrowed time
Loving like we're out of our minds
We're running straight into disaster
We're running straight into disaster
