Track 4: Dangerous Idea

Lyrics by Gemma Ford from Vow of Fire (Blood & Vows: Book 1)

Track 4

Crystal chandeliers and expensive perfume,
Everybody talking beneath the moon,
I was pretending not to care,
When I felt your gaze and found you there.

You watched me from across the room,
Like you already knew I’d break,
I told myself I didn’t feel it,
But some lies are hard to fake.

One touch,
One look,
One second too long,
And suddenly my self-control is gone.

You’re a dangerous idea,
That keeps me up at night,
That tastes like bad decisions
Wrapped in city lights.

I know better,
I really do,
But every road I take
Leads back to you.

You’re the spark,
I’m the flame,
We’re playing a cruel game.
And maybe loving you is madness,
But it feels a little too real.

You’re a dangerous idea.
But I just can’t help the way I feel.

You came closer as the music changed,
But I didn’t walk away,
Then your hand brushed mine,
And there was no escape.

Everybody else disappeared,
The second your eyes found mine,
The room kept moving round us,
But you stopped the time.

One lie,
One kiss,
One line we crossed,
And neither of us cared what it might cost.

You’re a dangerous idea,
The kind that keeps me up at night,
The kind that tastes like bad decisions
Wrapped in city lights.

I know better,
I really do,
But every road I take somehow
Leads back to you.

You’re the spark,
I’m the flame,
We’re playing a cruel game.
And maybe loving you is madness,
But it feels a little too real.

You’re a dangerous idea.
But I just can’t help the way I feel.

Tell me why I keep running
Toward the warning light,
Like my heart was built
To lose this fight.

Everybody says you’re trouble,
Maybe that’s true,
But trouble never looked at me
The way you do.

You’re a dangerous idea,
A secret I should never keep,
A shadow standing at the edge
Of every dream I dream.

I know better,
But I don’t care,
Because every time I try to leave,
You’re already there.

You’re the spark,
I’m the flame,
We’re playing a cruel game.

And maybe loving you is reckless,
Maybe that’s the deal—

You’re a dangerous idea,
And I never wanna heal.
