Story Behind The Song
None. It's an excersize in classic power pop/ rock with a little rap thrown in.
Song Description
Philophobia means "the fear of love" and this guy's got it bad. This is a hook-laden, tightly produced and arranged piece of pop/rock craftsmanship. Anyone can relate to the words and can't help but be singing along by the end of the first chorus.

Lyrics
Run away when the dancing starts it's time to leave the ball
So afraid the emotion lies within me after all
That comes maybe once or twice in a life
A door appears bolted tight
Hello hello hello, don't go don't go don't go, oh no oh no oh no
The fear of love is called Philophobia and I think I've got it bad
My throat gets dry can't breath when it feels so right I think I'm going mad
And you're the cure for my Philophobia
Not afraid with my blindfold on I'll stand against my wall
Fire away making love to me 'til all defenses fall
Don't stop 'til you see my face
Right here right now it's the time and place
Oh no oh no oh no oh no
The fear of love is called Philophobia and I think I've got it bad
My throat gets dry can't breath when it feels so right I know I must be mad
And you're the cure for my Philophobia
Be careful what you wish for might come true even the best intentions backfire on you
My love's all pent up like money to spend once you get a taste it might never never ever end
And then we go round again
The fear of love is called Philophobia and I think I've got it bad
My throat gets dry can't breath when it feels so right I think I'm going mad
And you're the cure for my Philophobia
