Terminal Love

The lines "I think I�ve got terminal love on the brain. My doc says I can�t stand the strain. But don�t take it away because day after day it�s my only relief from this terrible pain." were written by Lorenz Jooste for his song "The First Kiss".

Since the day I met you,

You’ve been etched into my mind. 

I don’t remember ever feeling emotions of this kind. 

I think I’ve got terminal love on the brain. 

My doc says I can’t stand the strain. 

But don’t take it away because day after day

It’s my only relief from this terrible pain. 

The moment our eyes met

The connection was made. 

This image in my head just won’t fade. 

I must have terminal love on the brain. 

My doc says I can’t stand the strain. 

But don’t take it away because day after day

It’s my only relief from this terrible pain.

I wish you could love me. 

I wish it could be true. 

Because I think I love you. 

Yeah I think I do. 

Please say you love me.

Because of my love you can be sure. 

It’s so bad I could die

Because there is no cure for this

Terminal love on the brain. 

My doc says I can’t stand the strain. 

But don’t take it away because day after day

It’s my only relief from this terrible pain.

[An owl on the moon]

So musical, lyrical, with the rhythm and beauty of a song! Wonderful write, both fun and poignant... Excellent!
