Loose Ends - Bruce Springsteen

We met out on open streets
When we had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat
When you said, "I love you so"
Then little by little we choked out
All the life that our love could hold
No, no

(Chorus:)
It's like we had a noose and,
baby, without check
We pulled 'til it
grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other,
darlin', to say when
Well, baby, you can meet me tonight
on the loose end

We didn't count tomorrows
We took what we could and, baby, we ran
There was no time for sorrow
Ev'ry place we went, I held your hand
And when the night closed in
I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know
But, oh, no

(Repeat chorus)

Our love has fallen around us
Like we said it never could
We saw it happen to all the others
But to us it never would
Well, how could something so bad, darling
Come from something that was so good?
I don't know

(Repeat chorus)

On the loose end
On the loose end...
