Story Behind The Song
This girl has fallen in love with a bad boy-he is dangerous and impulsive but she is drawn to him for these very reasons. He is completely opposite from her. She knows it is dangerous to pursue him but she cannot help herself. It feels good to let herself go-she has always been cautious and now she is having the time of her life.

Lyrics
You move too fast
Toward a head-on crash
But I just can't look away
We climb too high
Past every warning sing
It's a dangerous game we play
I've always tried to take things slow
Red lights in my head, but my heart says go
CAUSE YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL CATASTROPHE
YOU PULL ON ME LIKE GRAVITY
AND I GO DOWN WITHOUT A SOUND
CAUGHT IN THE THRILL OF THE RIDE
NOW I'M HANGING UPSIDE DOWN
I'M A CASUALTY
OF THIS BEAUTIFUL CATASTROPHE
A hurricane
Wreckage in your wake
A flood that sweeps me off my feet
I'm a bridge collapse
Beneath your avalanche
Tangled up and buried deep
Should I try to take control
Red flags in my head, but my heart says go
CHORUS
If it goes up in flame
I'm the one who's to blame
Cause I'm not walking away
CHORUS
