loose ends
We met out on open streets When we had no place to go I remember how my heart beat When you said "I love you so" Then little by little We choked out all the life that out love could hold No, no It was like we held a noose And baby without check We pulled it a little tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other Darling to say when Now baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end We didn't count tomorrows We took what we had and baby we ran There was no place for sorrow Every place we went I held your hand And when the night closed in I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know But oh no It was like we held a noose and baby without check we pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks each one waiting for the other darling to say when oh baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end Our love has fallen around us Like we said it never would We saw it happen to all the others But to us it never would Well how could something so bad, darling Come from something that was so good I don't know But it was like we held a noose And baby without check we pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks each one waiting for the other darling to say when oh baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end On a loose end.
