Terrifying love
Whoa, oh, terrifying love
Whoa, oh, terrifying love
I could never get enough
Of whatever she's giving up
Terrifying love
Whoa, oh, terrifying love
Oh, oh, terrifying love
I'll never walk out alive
Who knows how long I'll survive
This terrifying love
You know this is terrifying love
She said 'Now why don't we go for a drive?'
And it never once crossed my mind
That what she was talking 'bout
Was a drive to the end of time
I'm doing whatever her heart demands
Matters are no longer in my hands
Oh terrifying love
Whoa, terrifying love
Oh, oh, terrifying love
And I could never get enough
Of whatever she's giving up
Terrifying love,
Whoa, terrifying love,
Oh, oh, terrifying love
It's got a lock on my life,
Who knows how long I'll survive,
this terrifying love
Well, this is terrifying love
I want to summon up my pride
And leave this bad dream behind
But the way out of her world
Is something I just can't find
I take one look in her eyes and then
and I'm drawn right back in again, no!
Terrifying love
Oh, oh, terrifying love
Oh, oh, terrifying love
It started innocently
And look what it's come to be
Terrifying love
This is terrifying love
I guess I've been overwhelmed somehow
Got no power over anything now
Oh, terrifying love
Whoa, terrifying love
Oh, terrifying love, just a shell anymore
My number is up for sure
Oh, I said terrifying love
Whoa, terrifying love
Oh, oh, terrifying love
But I could never get enough
Of whatever she's giving up
Terrifying love
This is terrifying love
Oh, this terrifying love
You know this is terrifying love...
