about

a song about not being ready for love. you know. you've been there.

lyrics

Said I didn't want many hands on me
tryin' to turn myself into somebody
but I couldn't hide
love was on the line
i couldn't hide
love was on the line

Coulda' told you it would work out this way
had to give it a shot anyway
you're not supposed to run once love has begun
you're not supposed to run, but I.....wanna run

Never could get my timing right
tried my best to put up a fight
you can't delay once love is underway
you can't delay, but I .....want to anyway

Sorta terrified of being loved
know somebody loves me
know not why I'm loved
you don't ask why when love is on the line.
you don't ask why....
but I need to know why......

and I would never ask for you to stay
I know that you shouldn't anyway
no point in beggin'
no point in regrettin'
sometimes love just don't work out that a way........
