  • Put your lips close to mine
    As long as they don't touch
    Out of focus, eye to eye
    'Til the gravity's too much
    And I'll do anything you say
    If you say it with your hands
    And I'd be smart to walk away
    But you're quicksand

    This slope is treacherous
    This path is reckless
    This slope is treacherous
    And I, I, I like it

    I can't decide if it's a choice
    Getting swept away
    I hear the sound of my own voice
    Asking you to stay
    And all we are is skin and bone
    Trained to get along
    Forever going with the flow
    But you're friction

    This slope is treacherous
    This path is reckless
    This slope is treacherous
    I, I, I like it

    Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
    And I will get you, and get you alone
    Your name has echoed through my mind
    And I just think you should, think you should know
    That nothing safe is worth the drive
    And I would follow you, follow you home
    I'll follow you, follow you home

    This hope is treacherous
    This daydream is dangerous
    This hope is treacherous
    I, I, I
    I, I, I
    I, I, I

    Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
    And I will get you, and get you alone
    Your name has echoed through my mind
    And I just think you should, think you should know
    That nothing safe is worth the drive
    And I will follow you, follow you home
    I'll follow you, follow you home
    I'll follow you, follow you home
    I'll follow you, follow you home

    This slope is treacherous
    I, I, I like it Writer/s: Daniel Dodd Wilson, Taylor Alison Swift
