Bad Idea

I saw the door before it opened felt the heat before the flame you had trouble in your shadow I still learned the shape of your name not an omen not a prayer just a pressure in the air and I knew better yeah, I knew better but I stayed there You don’t have to ask me twice I already crossed that line I can hear the wreckage breathing and it sounds a lot like mine You feel like a bad idea And I chose it eyes wide open so soft spoken I didn’t fall into the fire I walked in said come closer called it desire bad, bad idea standing there with your sharp little grin bad, bad idea time to let the heat begin You said way less than you were hiding I heard more than you confessed every silence had a rhythm every pause was overdressed there’s a bruise inside the wanting there’s a hook beneath the sweet there’s a version of me watching and she still won’t intervene You don’t have to sell me danger I can price it by the scar I can feel the room go static when you look at me that hard You feel like a bad idea And I chose it eyes wide open so soft spoken I didn’t fall into the fire I walked in said come closer called it desire bad, bad idea standing there with your sharp little grin bad, bad idea time to let the heat begin maybe this is how the lightning knows where to land maybe ache has a body maybe want understands I could leave before the contact I could cut the circuit clean but the wrong thing knows my pulseline and the wrong thing answers me You feel like a bad idea And I chose it eyes wide open so soft spoken I didn’t fall into the fire I walked in said come closer called it desire bad, bad idea standing there with your sharp little grin bad, bad idea time to let the need begin I knew better soft spoken I knew better I chose it
