Vanessa Carlton - The Only Way to Love Lyrics

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
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 soldiers 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 soldiers steady march
Answering the call
It's the only way to

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 soldiers steady march
Answering the call

It's the only way to love

You're the edge of the ocean
