“The scary, terrifying feeling of falling in love, even though it’s so amazing. The stakes feel so high… it’s this sort of scary thing, it can be, when someone tells you that they love you. Even though it’s also really wonderful.” -Mirah, on the song Education
And I received an education all the while
I've come to an understanding
When you say you love me sometimes
That's all you can give
Love might just be an economy
But I don't believe in property
We don't own nothing
We don't owe nothing
And you wondered why I was so terrified
The night of our proclamation
Now do you understand
The risk we'd undertaken
Was a deer running free
'Til its last breath found your window
We killed and drove on indecently
Oh how you screamed
But I'll never change
You'll never change
