Aural Fixation: The Consequences of Falling by kd lang

[chronicpaint]

This is one of my favourite kd songs, from Invincible Summer. I find the music so sensual, and the lyrics capture perfectly that feeling when you've met someone and you wonder if they like you too, if they're feeling what you do. When you're suddenly so afraid to open your heart, but you want to, ever so desperately. It's the thing you want to say, but are afraid to, for fear he will say no, will dismiss you and your heart.

Hmm, I wonder what made me think of this?  ;)

Are you breathing
What I'm breathing
Are your wishes
The same as mine

Are you needing
What I'm needing
I'm waiting for a sign

My hands tremble
My heart aches
Is it you calling
Is it you calling

If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling

Are you thinking
What I'm thinking
Does your pulse
Quicken like mine

Are you dreaming
What I'm dreaming
I can't read your mind
One step towards you
Two steps back
Feels like I'm crawling
Feels like I'm crawling

If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling
