Oh to be in love To be trapped by the water Of youth Oh to be imprisoned In my lovers heart Chains to make me safe Unable to run away Unable to cry for help To be suffocated Oh to be in love And never get out again

Oh to be in love (and never get out again)
Oh to be in love To be trapped by the water Of youth Oh to be imprisoned In my lovers heart Chains to make me safe Unable to run away Unable to cry for help To be suffocated Oh to be in love And never get out again
based on the 'oh to be in love' song by kate bush, but with a twist that mixes the fear and longing for a relationship or love. as someone who is scared of love and being vunreable but also a deep longing and pain for love.
