Description
Sometimes falling in love is not with a person, but with a pure theory. It's a crazy infatuation with an idea, where the heart has already dived into the abyss, but the mind is still on the shore, waving a towel and shouting, “Don't you dare!” But who listens to reason when the fanfare of anticipation is playing in their head?
It pulsates somewhere between panic and elation: it seems like nothing has happened, but you're already afraid of losing it. Everything is in the future tense, but emotions live in the present, as if you had already met, kissed, quarreled, and made up. The brain constructs scenarios, the heart signs the contract without reading the terms.
And so you sink - beautifully, awkwardly, with your eyes open. You realize that this may be a disaster... but what an exciting disaster it is.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Look at me now
Said I wouldn't do it, but I hunted you down
Know you had a girl, but it didn't work out
Know you bought a house, but you had to move out, and
I'm not proud
Guess I'm just scared of you shootin' it down
You can just talk, and I'll stare at your mouth
You could be bad, but I wanna find out, and
And I wake up in the middle of the night
With the light on, and I feel like I could die
'Cause you're not here, and it don't feel right
'Cause you're not here
God, I'm actually invested, haven't even met him
Watch this be the wrong thing, classic
God, I'm jumpin' in the deep end, it's more fun to swim in
Heard the risk is drowning, but I'm gonna take it
I'm gonna take it
Oh, whoa
Isn't it fun thinkin' I'm right when I'm probably wrong?
Holding my breath like I met someone
Knowing damn well that I haven't been touched by you
In my head, you're in the car, and you're comin' to me
And you get to my door, and you can't even speak
But I think that it's sweet, yeah, I think that you're sweet
And I wake up (I wake up) in the middle of the night (night)
With the light on, and you're not here
God, I'm actually invested, haven't even met him
Watch this be the wrong thing, classic
God, I'm jumpin' in the deep end, it's more fun to swim in
Heard the risk is drowning, but I'm gonna take it
I'm gonna bend 'til I break and you'll be my favorite mistake
I wish you could hold me, here shakin', you're the risk, I'm gonna take it
Why aren't you here in my bedroom? Hopelessly boring without you
Too soon to tell you "I love you," too soon to tell you "I love you"
God, I'm actually invested, think I really want this
I'm not even kidding
No, I'm actually invested, haven't even met yet
Wish that I was kidding, I'm not and I hate it
God, I'm actually invested, haven't even met yet
Watch this be the wrong thing, classic
God, I'm jumpin' in the deep end, it's more fun to swim in
Heard the risk is drowning, but I'm gonna take it (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna take it
Heard the risk is drowning, but I'm gonna take it (oh, oh, oh)
Too soon to tell you "I love you," too soon to tell you "I love you"
Too soon to tell you "I love you," you're the risk, I'm gonna take it
