Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb
That ladder stretching to the sky
With a love so young as the night is long
Well a running start can sure run wild
Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake
She took it just a little too far
It was all he could take 'til he made his break
He left her in the dark
Down with a broken heart
She came down with a broken heart
Now he pushed on, he was playing his song
Driving on a rock and roll dream
But she couldn't stay strong, with the chords all wrong
So she packed away to try to get clean
Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake
She took it just a little too far
It was all he could take 'til he made his break
He left her in the dark
Down with a broken heart
She came down with a broken heart
Well all her friends said she'd pull through
In familiar phrase and fair-weather rhyme
No one heard from her, they hadn't a clue
They all suspected she might've let go the line
Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb
That ladder stretching to the sky
With a love so young as the night is long
Well a running start can sure run wild
Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake
On her breaks at the back of the bar
It was all he could take, might've made a mistake
Left her in the dark
Down with a broken heart
She came down with a broken heart
She came down from a running start
