love me if you dare

here we go
they're back again
look alive, warn your friends
we are warm and we are safe
enjoy it while you can before things change
we have got to take cover, brother

I've been listening to The Organ-Brother for the 12th time tonight. This song always reminds me of the same thing. Two lovers are in a room, they're looking at each other, unsure of what to do. They're both wondering if they're brave enough to make the first move, both scared of how much they might mean to each other, both afraid of getting hurt and terrified of falling in love. And in the background, it's Brother. We have got to take cover. The lovers build up their guards, they let the moment pass. The spark is gone. They take cover. They'll never get hurt. They'll never be happy together. They'll never share anything. They look at one another for one last time, and walk away. They're safe, but lonely.
