Something about you is soft like an angel
And something inside you is violence and danger
I knew from the moment we met, you are a dangerous thing
When you are with me, I feel like I'm living
And living besides you can be unforgiving
I knew from the very first step, you are a dangerous thing
[Chorus]
There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you'll call
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
[Post-Chorus]
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
[Verse 2]
Something about you is warm and seducive, and
When you're with me, you're cold and abusive
I knew, from the second we met, you are a dangerous flame
You are a dangerous flame
There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you'll call
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
[Post-Chorus]
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
[Bridge]
I don't think I know myself, without your help
I wonder why, how you got a heaven deep inside of me
I keep the light on, it keeps me warm
I hate it when I fall for your illusion of love
I know this is not love
There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
There's no love in the end
I hope you'll come
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
There's no end to the fall
You keep on getting better
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you'll call
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
[Post-Chorus]
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end
No love in the end

In an interview with NME, AURORA said:
There’s a lot of beauty in this world. And there’s a lot of ugly. I was surprised to learn how often the ugly is disguised as beauty. How often poison is disguised as wine. And life disguised as death. And when we learn that what we thought was good for us, is in fact bad for us–even then we tend to go return to it. Because at least it’s familiar. And all we ever dream about is home. Seductive, yet destructive. A dangerous thing indeed.
I placed “A Dangerous Thing” after “A Temporary High” because “A Temporary High” ends with a guitar. And I wanted to jump into a guitar pattern right after.
