Dangerous Silver

[Verse 1] Door swings open Meeting running late Silver in the sunlight Black shirt buttoned straight Everybody turns I take the empty chair No introduction needed I’m already there Someone dressed in purple Looks me up and down Like my face alone Just challenged her crown I say nothing That makes it worse One quiet little smile And she’s ready to burst [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t start this I barely spoke But every little silence Feels like a private joke You want a reaction? Come a little nearer The harder you stare The calmer I appear [Chorus] Dangerous silver Cold in the light Never raise my voice Never need to fight One look One smile One quiet “Hm?” And suddenly You’re angry again Dangerous silver Nothing to prove You’re already watching Every time I move I never chased trouble But trouble seems thrilled To walk straight toward me Dressed in purple [Verse 2] Someone says I’m cute You nearly leave your seat Someone says your girlfriend You’re suddenly on your feet Possessive little warning Delivered loud and clear Funny— I don’t remember asking Who belongs to whom in here Then you cross the room Ready for attack Stop directly in front of me And tilt your head back Just a little taller Nothing dramatic But judging by your face Apparently catastrophic [Pre-Chorus] “Don’t look down at me.” I wasn’t. “Hm?” There— Now you’re furious again [Chorus] Dangerous silver Cold in the light Never raise my voice Never need to fight One look One smile One quiet “Hm?” And suddenly You’re angry again Dangerous silver Nothing to prove You’re already watching Every time I move I never chased trouble But trouble seems thrilled To walk straight toward me Dressed in purple [Bridge] Maybe I should apologize Would that help at all? No? Thought so. You call me something I answer once You throw another spark I let it burn No grand challenge No declaration You’re doing enough For the both of us [Breakdown] Silver hair Black shirt Hands in my pockets Purple glare Red face Can’t seem to stop it First day New room Already understood This place is strange I think I’ll stay [Final Chorus] Dangerous silver Sharp in the light Never need permission Never need the fight One step One glance One quiet “Hm?” And there you go Losing your cool again Dangerous silver Say what you will The louder you get The calmer I stand still I never chased trouble But trouble walked in Stopped right below me— And glared up again [Outro] “Hm?” I wasn’t looking down. ... Not much.
