Terrified Lyrics
On these old streets
I can't believe you're not
walking next to me.
I can almost feel your hand
in my back pocket.
Oh baby, when your eyes close
you're so terrified,
so terrified.
So am I.
When your plane climbed
and banked southeast
I thought,
"He's never coming back."
Yeah, it sounds cheap
but when you take my heart
I'm gonna take it back.
Oh baby, when your eyes close
you're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
You're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
You could be waiting all your life.
And it's so wrong to wait.
But you're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
You're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
When my plane sighed and turned northeast,
I felt my little heart attack.
Yeah, it sounds cheap
but when you take my love
I don't want it back.
Oh baby, when your eyes close.
I can't believe you're not
walking next to me.
I can almost feel your hand
in my back pocket.
you're so terrified,
so terrified.
So am I.
and banked southeast
I thought,
"He's never coming back."
Yeah, it sounds cheap
but when you take my heart
I'm gonna take it back.
you're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
You're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
And it's so wrong to wait.
So am I.
You're so terrified, so terrified.
So am I.
I felt my little heart attack.
Yeah, it sounds cheap
but when you take my love
I don't want it back.

favourite.
really good.
Lovely.
such a good song. so well written, perfect with the acoustic guitar. I think this song is lyrically much more accessible than a lot of rainer maria's songs. At the same time the imagery is so vivid. I think this song can easily get lost, being in the middle of the cd, but is definatley one of the better tracks from this album.

this song is really open ended but i hear a woman singing about a guy who she loves but doesn't trust. So she thinks their relationship might hurt them both more than it's worth. But, she still loves him anyway cause she doesn't know how to change.
While having sex, there's always that one point that either you or your partner looks away, or closes their eyes. The other screams out inside their head, asking 'why can't they look at me?' or 'what are they thinking of?'.
That's what it's about, to me.
To me, this song is just about being with someone you really like/love, and you're both just so terrified and happy at the same time.
This song is just about loss, to me. Maybe someone you've been with for so long that they're just a part of your life, or maybe someone you feel safe with. But whichever, it's about losing someone you love, and remembering them.

I kind of feel like she never told this person how much she loved them. "It's so wrong to wait." Maybe that's why they left. Or maybe they just died, I kept imagining someone dying when she says "When your eyes closed."

Anyway, that's just my thoughts on it. It's a beautiful song, though.

To me it means they had to break up because they knew it was the right thing, he leaves to live far away or something but it feels awkward and wrong and scary to be apart -- but it's for the best...
