You'd never seen the desert You grew up in Tennessee hills I said if we lasted five more months you will So I took you to the Grand Canyon And you said it looked like Mars You were more mesmerized by me than a sky full of stars This could be a landslide And this could be a long ride home And you could be the wrong guy Or the greatest love that I've known I whisper under my breath You know I'm scared to death We're standing on the edge right now and you say don't look down You make small talk with my father, you're a kind and gentle man You leave notes around my house just because you can I got a pocket full of Post-its Of all our inside jokes And I tell you all the secrets no one else knows This could be a landslide And this could be a long ride home And you could be the wrong guy Or the greatest love that I've known I whisper under my breath You know I'm scared to death We're standing on the edge right now and you say don't look down You could fall out of love And it would make me fall apart And I'd spend every day wonderin' how you are This could be a landslide Or this could be a long ride home And you could be the wrong guy Or the greatest love that I've known I whisper under my breath You know I'm scared to death We're standing on the edge right now and you say don't look down So I took you to the Grand Canyon And you said it looked like Mars You were more mesmerized by me than a sky full of stars
