"Grand Canyon" lyrics

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
