The Love I'm Frightened Of - Katie Melua

If I wait

Don’t move a muscle

Maybe somehow a spark will strike

It’s been a long night

So sincere

But the message is still a struggle

Knives with which we juggle

While we jump through fire

So maybe I’ll move on and make a mistake

And see if my earth-quakes

This is the love I’m frightened of

Doesn’t come with a leaflet that says how to keep it

This is the love that can’t be seen

No detailed instructions or Japanese symbols like you find on a washing machine

Slow me down

Apply some gentile pressure

And maybe somehow a spark will strike

I hope it might

One is best

But lacking in conversation

Safe but no relation

To the warmth you give

So maybe I move on and make a mistake

And see if my earth-quakes

This is the love I’m frightened of

Doesn’t come with a leaflet that says how to keep it

This is the love that can’t be seen

No detailed instructions…

This is the love I’m frightened of

This is the love I’m frightened of
