Being In Love Lyrics

Being in love
Means you are completely broken
Then put back together

The one piece that was yours
Is beating in your lover's breast
She says the same thing about hers

However I have gotten here
I have plans to be with you
And for the first time it is working

And I am proof that the heart
Is a risky fuel to burn
Yeah, we are proof
That the heart is a risky fuel to burn

What's left after that's all gone
I hope to never learn
But if you stick with me, you can help me
I'm sure we'll find new things to burn

'Cause we are proof
That the heart is a risky fuel to burn
Yeah, we are proof
That the heart is a risky fuel to burn

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Man oh man. When I first purchased this album I must say that I did not care for this song that much. After many rotations and especially after downloading a live version it dawned on me how incredibly awesome this track is. So simple. To be in total love with someone you have to let yourself go. You have to take risks, stand on the edge and just jump and hope that the person catches you. Molina's song writing is second to none.
