> It’s terrifying to write about love as someone who’s grown up with extreme behaviors in relationships that would always send me on an emotional rush. The lyrics explain the anxiety of a relationship having no end point and thinking, ‘Oh my god, this might work out.’ I wanted to capture that feeling that I’m finally safe.

## Lyrics

Oh, my darling, I can't find the words to say

You scare the shit out of me everyday

With blushing cheeks and eyes so circle wide

How divine

I find that something's changing in my tone

And all I want to do is run back home to you

It's you

And I'm terrified, stream running down my leg in sunshine

And I want to tell you how I think you're oh-so sublime

Wanna have you to myself but it's not easy as pie

But to say I'm not terrified would be a big fucking lie

And I'm scowling at the sun while you're fishing out my smile

And to hold you for forever would be all worth the while

I've been killed before but maybe just maybe it's this time

I could live without being terrified all the fucking time

(Ah)

Oh, my angel, your wings wrap around my neck

It's so hard to find the grace for me to let

My wounded spirit accept hands so warm

Hearts adorned

The stars you breathe begin to brush my hair

You showed me what it is like to feel care

What it's like to feel care

And I'm terrified, stream running down my leg in sunshine

And I want to tell you how I think you're oh-so sublime

Wanna have you to myself but it's not easy as pie

But to say I'm not terrified would be a big fucking lie

And I'm scowling at the sun while you're fishing out my smile

And to hold you for forever would be all worth the while

I've been killed before but maybe just maybe it's this time

I could live without being terrified all the fucking time

(T-t-t-t-t-t, t-t-t-t-t-terrified) And I'm terrified

(T-t-t-t-t-t, t-t-t-t-t-terrified) Sun in my eyes

(T-t-t-t-t-t, t-t-t-t-t-terrified) And I'm terrified

Terrified
