Loose Ends lyrics - 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

Oh no

It's like we had a noose and baby without check

We pulled until 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, every 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

It's like we had a noose and baby without check

We pulled until 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

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

It's like we had a noose and baby without check

We pulled until 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

On the loose end
