Take Care (2020)
06:01
|

Something in the way that you look at me is saying
This is probably a bad idea
But every fiber of my body wants to look you in the eye
And tell you all the things that got us here
Just because you’re honest with me doesn’t mean a thing
If you turn around and shut the door
But any way you spin it makes it obvious to me
That you’re everything I want and more
I want you more
With your hand in mine
Drop your walls down
It’s your heart on the line
And I’ll take good care of it
Ready when you’re ready
Hold it softly, hold it steady
Oh, your heart’s well out of reach
Trembling is a symptom of a passion deep inside
Come on, let your love go free
Hold me in your vision ‘til your eyes see nothing else
And your heart begins to speak
‘Cause never in my life has someone made me want so bad
To simply practice what I preach
With pride before the fall
I often wonder how I stand at all
But you see through to my soul
I’m broken, but you could make me whole
Come on, honey
Yeah, I was only 20
Come on, honey
Let me take care of you
Come on, honey
And now it’s 2020
Come on, honey
Let me take care of you

Cloud Nine

My head feels light
I lost a lot of blood since last night
I was cowering in her cold memory
You look good tonight
My heart’s got a hole and you’d fit just right
If you could patch me up, I just might get some sleep
This time I’ll do things different
This time I’ve got my head on right
Don’t stop to think about it
Love, you are mine tonight
Deep in your eyes, I’m reeling
I wanna know you better
I wanna treat you right
You're proof my heart's still beating
I wanna pull you closer
I wanna feel alive
Your hand in mine
I can’t see straight, this must be cloud nine
Or maybe I’ve just had too much to drink
And I’m feeling fine
You pull me close, we move in half-time
Let me be the one to sweep you off your feet
This time I’ll hold my head up
This time I’ll try to do what’s right
Dive headlong into the abyss
Confess my sins tonight
I wanna know you better
I wanna treat you right
I wanna pull you closer
I wanna feel alive

Young Love

I think my heart stopped
I feel the seconds pass
I knew I wanted her love
When I looked up from my glass
Isn't it such a shame how she gets stuck in my head?
I'm like a moth to the flame
She pulled me in and she said
“I wasn't looking for someone,
Just trying to feel.
I wasn't looking for answers,
Just trying to heal.
Baby, I'm feeling alone tonight
We could turn out the lights
And I could show you a good time…”
She's got a bad idea
And I'm thinking the same
Got her hair undone
And she's calling my name
One touch, giving into the pressure
Young love doesn't know any better
I'm just her new complication
It's all a little too much
Now I've got a bad reputation
I'm trying hard to keep up
I'm always looking for someone
Just trying to feel
Maybe I'll look for some answers
Start trying to heal
She said, "I'm all on my own tonight.
Won't you turn out the lights
And let me ease into your mind?"
It's not that complicated
I think I'm falling for you
Burning stars in your eyes;
Such a beautiful view
Speed limit's overrated
Let's throw this baby in drive
I've never felt so alive
Headstrong, naive, under pressure
Young love doesn't know any better
There's no letting go since I met her
Young love doesn't know any better

Darling [Original Demo]
01:44
|

Don’t you know you’re killing me, darling
With everything you do?
I’ve thought about it
There has never been a time where
I’ve been this way to you
And after all is lost
You got in all your shots
Hope you can see through this facade
Of all the things we’re not
And I hope I recognize you...

Tell me you're sorry
Tell me it wasn't intentional
Tell me my feelings don't matter at all
And I'm fine
Tell me about how
Things will be different
Tell me you'll change everything to stay mine
To stay mine
Oh, put your walls up
Try to knock mine down
I'm so distant now
You should've known
I'm a fighter
But I don't make a sound
I am dead on the ground because
I was blind to your guns
Aiming at me
At me
You stood by me, stoic
Watching me bleed
And I can't believe
That your eyes were dry
I was a fool, then
I should've known that a wedding ring
Only made arguments
Sting that much worse in the night
Take all my time, then
Take all the money I have
And use it to attend to my bride
Whatcha after?
If I don't matter to you
Peel out fast
I won't follow you
Take it off
Throw it down
Walk away
Tell me how you're gonna take your own life
"Fuck you, baby. Goodbye"
I'll be fine
Wish I knew from the start
How you'd tear out my heart
Did you know you were lying?
Did you play the part to be mine?
I'll be fine
Your hands haunt me
Tell me what we could be
What we could be
But your eyes prove to me
You are not what I need
And I can't believe
That your eyes were dry

I'm on the ropes
Praying for something better
I'm sick of feeling alone
Brandish that scarlet letter
You thought you could fix me
But I wasn't broken at all
And I thought you would wise up
But I got sick of waiting for you
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And you left me scarred
Left me scarred
Yeah, I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
I'm catching glimpses of you
In every dream I'm having
And so I don't go to sleep
Unless I'm drunk
And it's becoming a habit
You told me you'd hold me
Then locked me in the hall outside your room
I thought you were my one true love
But I was falling for you way too soon
We fall into the trap
That we set for ourselves
But we're blind to the truth
Acting like we never fell
Why do we never learn
That love can lead us astray?
We just chase what we want
While what we need fades away
I meant it when I said that you had my heart
But you went too far
We went too far
