If I promise you a kiss,
will you promise me safety?
If I allow you a touch,
will you tell me the truth?
If I let you take me somewhere else,
will you please not leave me?

Because it's never just a kiss or a touch, it's always a risk.
It's a strange reminder of childhood nightmares
But I'm willing to do it if you promise me one thing
Please don't use me.

Don't worry, you say, but then you promise I won't have to see you again
Be free, loose control, how often do you get a chance like this?
We are alone under the endless stars in a beautiful forest you say
This is our chance for a perfect night

Don't you get that this is what I am afraid of?
