Songtext The only way to love Vanessa Carlton

The only way to love

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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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
