[Verse 1]

From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold

Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control

Oh, on a wire, we were dancing

Two kids, no consequences

Pull the trigger without thinking

There's only one way down this road

[Chorus]

It was like a time bomb set into motion

We knew that we were destined to explode

And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage

You know I'm never gonna let you go

We're like a time bomb

Gonna lose it

Let's defuse it

Baby, we're like a time bomb

But I need it

Wouldn't have it any other way

[Verse 2]

Well, there's no way out of this, so let's stay in

Every storm that comes also comes to an end

Oh, resistance is useless

Just two kids stupid and fearless

Like a bullet shooting the lovesick

There's only one way down this road

[Chorus]

It was like a time bomb set into motion

We knew that we were destined to explode

And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage

You know I'm never gonna let you go

We're like a time bomb

Gonna lose it

Let's defuse it

Baby, we're like a time bomb

But I need it

Wouldn't have it any other way

[Bridge]

Got my heart in your hands

Like a time bomb ticking

It goes off; we start again

When it breaks, we fix it

Got your heart in my hands

Like a time bomb ticking

We should know better

But we won't let go

[Chorus]

It was like a time bomb set into motion

We knew that we were destined to explode

And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage

You know I'm never gonna let you let me go

We're like a time bomb

Gonna lose it

Let's defuse it

Baby, we're like a time bomb

But I need it

Wouldn't have it any other way
