Over explanation
Too much conversation
Boy, we need a vacation
Oh, you and me
Across the seven seas
What more can I do?
(What more can I do)
I’m on my knees for you
(On my knees for you)
And I’m cryin’
Say
Silly boy
You’re always on my mind
(Silly boy)
And for you I always got the time
(Silly boy)
I would never try to hide you
Silly boy
Hey, for you I’d sacrifice
(Silly boy)
All my cupcake dreams of shining lights
(Silly boy)
But I hope I never have to

Level headed when I wanna be
Then put my hands in the sky and cry out
As to why is a mystery
Only I can figure out
But you never doubted me
So lay me down easy
I’ve been through the storms and I’ve been through the fires
Some parts are still healing
But with you, I know I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
Oh…
Figured I’d deliver you this message
I know you’ve had a long day
Lemme take your stress away
Baby, cmon
It’s alright to have scars
We can work through them all
Stay up until 5 AM
And no matter what
I’ll lay you down easy
I’ve been through the storms and I’ve been through the fires
Some parts are still healing
But with you, I know I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
Oh…

Tell Me

I know I need you
But I can’t seem to
Wrap my head around this mess
If this is real love
Why can’t I feel love
When we’re layin’ in this bed
And don’t say that it’s nothin’
Tell me again that you want me
Tell me again that you need me here
Baby, I want you to hold me
Cuz lately I’ve been
Wishin’ that we could go back
To makin’ love by the railroad tracks
Just tell me again that you want me
Cuz I can’t take this silence anymore
I saw it comin’
And I tried runnin’
But you just wouldn’t let me be
And you followed after so impatiently
Then stood here in confusion like it was good enough for me
Tell me again that you want me
Tell me again that you need me here
Baby, I want you to hold me
Cuz lately I’ve been
Wishin’ that we could go back
To makin’ love by the railroad tracks
Just tell me again that you want me
Cuz I can’t take this silence anymore
Anymore
I cannot take one more day in this cloud again
Smoke in my lungs but I’m trying to breathe
Now I’m so high and I can’t come back down
Until you tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Cuz lately I’ve been
Wishin’ that we could go back
To makin’ love by the railroad tracks
Just tell me again that you want me
Cuz I can’t take this silence anymore

You’re so beside yourself
I can see it
Putting me on your shelf
How do I look from here?
I think it’s clear to see
Lately my thoughts are so manipulating
Every mistake you’ve made
I am retaining
I don’t wanna hurt no more
But making up has turned to keeping score
And now we’re playing games like
Whose wrong was the most right
And who’s not coming home tonight
It’s so crazy how we made this out to be something like
A rainstorm in the desert
But I’ve had enough and my head hurts
It don’t make no sense to try and make it work
Calm down, he says
It’s not that serious
Then hits the wall when things don’t go his way
Put me first, I tell ya
Then I’ll promise forever
And keep us close even when it rains
But lately I just don’t feel the same
It’s a shame
And now we’re playing games like
Whose wrong was the most right
And who’s not coming home tonight
It’s so crazy how we made this out to be something like
A rainstorm in the desert
But I’ve had enough and my head hurts
It don’t make no sense to try and make it work

Close your eyes
We are far too tired to light the flame
It’s a heinous game
But I can’t bare one more night away
When we’ve got love to make
All I ever want is to feel you
Draw me closer even when I’m not near you
So if space is all you need
(Space is all you’re needing, baby)
I’ll be on my way
We can try another day
It’s alright if I cannot stay
I know you love me
Oh, I know
I know
You’re protective
It’s a mess when you lose your mind
I’m obsessive and project it
Let me make this right
Oh, you’ll pull away
And try to say
It’s our last kiss
But tomorrow will surely come
And you’ll be missin’ this
All I ever want is to feel you
Draw me closer even when I’m not near you
So if space is all you need
(Space is all you’re needing, baby)
I’ll be on my way
We can try another day
It’s alright if I cannot stay
I know you love me
Oh, I know you love me
I know you love
Me

Shall Pass (Interlude)

Lately I been
Running in circles on my tiptoes
But I grin
Through every season
There ain’t a reason for nothin’ else
We can complicate it
But when we’re faced with
Trials and challenged
Shiftin’ our balance and cracking the pavement
All that we know slowly unfolds and we can’t take it
Always tryna change it
Life is like a lighting bolt it comes and it goes so fast
Trust the inner voice that’s saying nothin’ this bad could last
This too shall pass
Oh, Oh

Roses on the bed
You always made it feel like the first time
Oh my
Now just memories in my head
But they’re oh so vivid, I miss it
Can’t undo what I did for you
Sometimes I can still feel your touch all over me
Under covers when colors would flow through these sheets
Now our canvas is clear as day
And I can’t get no sleep
No, I’m tossin’ turnin’
Learning how to find that release
Oh I look for you
In every face
In every place I hear your name
I never meant to hurt you
Never meant to let you down
Fighting every little urge to tell you how
You’re all I think about
Sometimes I can still feel your touch all over me
Under covers when colors would flow through these sheets
Now our canvas is clear as day
And I can’t get no sleep
No, I’m tossin’ turnin’
Learning how to find that release
Tell me
Can you tell me
Where to
How to find it

Fireworks in the morning
With your hands on my skin and the windows cracked open just a little bit
Now I’m staying in bed
Longer than I’m used to
Thinkin’ bout
When I tried to talk but you didn’t wanna listen
Now you’re calling my phone
Boy, just come to the crib and please
Say whatever you need to me
Cuz I’m holding onto what used to be
You push me away and I make amends
I’m tired of breaking just so you don’t bend
And before you suggest it I won’t be your friend
No I won’t, baby
Wasn’t fair to put all of your weight on me
One by one, every bag you would carry
But I’d push it aside in full denial
Then go pray with both hands on the Bible
Mmm
Endless memories you would never tell your mother
Now you treat me like the chip on your shoulder
You know I deserve more
Won’t you come to my door and please
Say whatever you need to me
Cuz I’m holding onto what used to be
You push me away and I make amends
I’m tired of breaking just so you don’t bend
And before you suggest it I won’t be your friend

Sinking and swimming are similar when you’re in over your head
Fighting the feelings of giving up
Baby, just to give in
Walking and running are two peas in a pod when you’re believing in God but still want it all
Tryna make my way down without making a sound
Sound
Sound
But not knowin’ where I’m goin’
Gets the best of me
Melatonin controllin’ my reality
So I run it up until I finally hit the ground so I can put my mind at ease
I’m just lookin’ for peace
Trying my best to stay original
Too many ways to be so typical now
Offer myself up like a ritual
Hands up to the clouds
Gratitude is my healer
I can feel her when she steps in the room
But what do I do to keep her?
Is the question of the seeker
Who is eager to find her truth
But not knowin’ where I’m goin’
Gets the best of me
Melatonin controllin’ my reality
So I run it up until I finally hit the ground so I can put my mind at ease
I’m just lookin’ for peace
But not knowin’ where I’m goin’
Gets the best of me
Melatonin controllin’ my reality
So I run it up until I finally hit the ground so I can put my mind at ease
I’m just lookin’ for peace
