Alanis Morissette - Uninvited Lyrics Meaning

Love can sneak up on you sometimes. You can be just living and experiencing the world intentionally or unintentionally cut off from romance. And then without warning... boom. There's this intense, scary connection you weren't looking for, that you totally weren't expecting. And it's intoxicating, and terrifying, and undeniable.
You might want to run, or stay back, or hold this person at arms length. Not because they don't excite you, not because you don't feel pulled, not because you don't already know that you Want to Love them. But because you need a minute to figure out how exposed you're willing to be. Just a breath to take it all in.
In the end.. usually holding back gives way to passion and you are washed away in it for better or for worse. -Bear
