Dangerous

I awoke with a fright from an unusual dream
We were performers way up on a flying trapeze
The spotlight followed our silvery swings
There were fanfares and drum rolls and everything
Then it came to the part when we meet in mid-air
And I held out my hands but your hands weren't there
And I fell, and I fell
That's when I woke with a fright from that terrible dream
And you were there by my side like you'd always been
I wondered what it meant and I answered, "Who knows?
I'm just insecure, I suppose"
It's a frightening and dangerous thing
To give your heart to someone
You relax, turn your back, and they're gone
Three hundred lost, the newsreader said
In a wayward flight bound for Australia today
I knew you weren't planning no Australian trip
But I called the airport anyway
As the girl ran her fingers down the passenger list
I swear someone could have lived off the heartbeats I missed
And I prayed, oh, I prayed
That's when I heard you whistling and you walked through the door
Whistling and walking, always before
I wondered, was I mad? And I answered, "Who knows?
I'm just insecure, I suppose"
It's a frightening and dangerous thing
To give your heart to someone
You relax, turn your back, and they're gone
It's a frightening and dangerous thing
To give your heart to someone
You relax, turn your back, and they're gone
And they're gone, and they're gone
