Finding and maintaining an intimate relationship involves commitment and attentive awareness. Love and intimacy aren't always the same thing, and love can be both imbalanced and harmful.
One can mistake pure physical attraction for intimate love. In these situations a person can be physically and chemically drawn to another even if they aren't emotionally compatible or they are actually detrimental to each others self-esteem.
One can also be drawn towards someone because they are compatible with their values, personalities, and life style. Yet, such a relationship devoid of passion and the possibility for personal growth and development will often become stale and unfulfilling.
The singer of this song has experienced many relationships which were close but not quite right. His previous relationships were unbalanced being either too comfortable or overly based on chemical attraction.
Found someone wanting to feel all we could feel
(someone willing to challenge me and make me the best I can be)
Waded past the passion and flames
(not just pheromones or chemistry)
Feels like lightning strikes when we touch
Feels like lightning strikes when we talk
Just feel the thunder crash when we touch
Just feel the thunder crash when we talk
The above states that the lighting and thunder are sparked from both physical passion and emotional and intellectual stimulation.
Yes, when one is fortunate to stumble across such a relationship they should indeed be easy prey.
lyrics
Easy Prey 1/5/87
I was easy prey
When you looked my way
Now that you’re mine
I feel so lucky to give you my love
People told me the love I wanted
Would never come my way
Now that I’ve found you honey
It puts their doubts to shame
I love you, I love you, I love you today
I’m glad I listened well to my heart, and
Waited past the passion and flames, and
Found someone wanting to feel
All we can feel
Feels like lightning strikes when we touch
Feels like lightning strikes when we talk
Just feel the thunder crash when we touch
Just feel the thunder crash when we talk
I listened well to my heart filled with pain, and
Waded past the passion and flames, and
Found someone wanting to feel all we could feel
Feel the thunder as it crashes down on you girl
Feel the lightning, feel the thunder
Ooo girl I was easy prey for you
I was easy prey just for prey
Easy prey
