about
A re-recording of "Take Care" by understatements (John's former project from 2016).
lyrics
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
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
