“Avalanche” is the fourth promotional single from Nick Jonas' self-titled effort. It’s a duet ballad with Disney alumnus Demi Lovato.
As Nick explained to MTV, it isn’t just a love song:
[Demi] and I recorded the song that I think is beautiful because it’s not necessarily a love song, and I’m so u...
[Intro: Nick Jonas]
Oh, oh
[Verse 1: Nick Jonas]
Words, like a loaded gun (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Shot out from a fire tongue (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Love lost from a fight that was won (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
And I can see it breaking down
The end to a falling out
[Chorus: Nick Jonas]
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche
Look out now, don't take one more step
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche
[Verse 2: Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Both]
I never wanted to turn out this way (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Now forever feels like yesterday (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Sorry's something that I just can't say (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Can you see me breaking down?
The end to a falling out, yeah
[Chorus: Nick Jonas & Demi Lovato, Demi Lovato]
I got pride, you can't hold your breath (Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche (Crash down, crash down)
Look out now, don't take one more step (Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche (Crash down, crash down)
[Bridge: Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato]
Oh
We'll crash down, yeah
Oh
Like an avalanche
[Chorus: Both, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato]
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche (Yeah)
I got pride, you can't hold your breath (Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche (Crash down, crash down)
Look out now, don't take one more step (One more step, yeah)
Even if we survive
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche (Crash down, crash down)
[Outro: Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato]
Oh, oh
Crash down, crash down
Oh, oh
Just like an avalanche
