[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three

This is just a countdown or a rhythmic start to the song.

[Verse 1]
How could something so delicate also be dangerous?
Kind of afraid of it, darling, believe me
I'm just praying you keep me
And you look like an angel there, you and your braided hair
Oh, it's just so unfair, you'll never see
You've got a hold on me

The singer is amazed at how something so seemingly gentle can be so intense. They’re nervous about the relationship but hope it lasts. The partner looks angelic and captivating, which makes the singer feel overwhelmed and captivated by them.

[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels like suicide, looking into your eyes
I get so terrified that I'm gonna lose you
And I'll die if I do

[Chorus]
It's a death wish, love
Take my heart, I'll let you spill my blood
Cut me down again
I love you and I'll love you to death
On and on and only you can kill me now
I'll scream your name until my lungs give out
Pull me down again
I love you and I'll love you to death
Love you for as long as I get

The way that you make me laugh

Nobody else does that
You've got the upper hand
And if you squeeze, I would fall to my knees

The partner has a unique ability to make the singer laugh in a way no one else can. They have a strong influence over the singer, who feels they would be completely overwhelmed if the partner exerted more pressure.

And I'll ask the stars at night how I could slow the time
God, I'm so terrified that I'm gonna lose you
And I'll die if I do

[Chorus]
It's a death wish, love
Take my heart, I'll let you spill my blood
Cut me down again
I love you and I'll love you to death
On and on and only you can kill me now
I'll scream your name until my lungs give out
Pull me down again
I love you and I'll love you to death
I'll love you for as long as I get

Oh, I'm gonna love you to death
(Ooh)
Oh, I'm gonna run 'til I wreck

Go until there's none of me left
(Ooh)
No, there's nothing of me left

Oh, I'm gonna love you to death

Love you for as long as I get
