The subject of this song is either a young man, in his teens, who just learnt the meaning of being in love, or an adult man that has been experiencing the illusion of love, instead of love itself. That seems to me a good explanation for the fear that is repeatedly confessed.
Anyone caught in the same situation as the one discribed here, knows that the feeling of being in love does make one say things that were never expected to be said. Some of those things we say them out loud...
Regardless of the age and experience of the lover, love does make you think, do, and feel things even against your will, plan or life project. Things seem to get out of one's grip. The good news is, loosing the grip over whaterver one was convinced that one had the grip on, is the only scary thing about love.
If one cares to try to just "let go" or "slide", then it's most probable that you actually start to feel that your life is in your hands. Love has then just handed you the wheel. "Put your hands on the wheel, let the golden age begin" a wised up man said.
