Vanessa Carlton
The Only Way to Love
[Verse 1]
For you, the coast is clear
Bury my fear, you're the edge of the ocean
The tide follows what's right
And so have I
You say, "Let's get out of here"

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a danger when you feel without thinking
In this moment what I fear, I need the most

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
We are walking up the stairs to your apartment
You open up the door and let me in
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
You're the edge of the ocean
