if you can't give me a yes
when you're back's against the wall
when you try to turn away
when you're not sure you want it all
i'm not a piece of your puzzle
not a bit of a thing
i say when i'm unsure and speak my mind
and i sure as hell know how to sing
it might be hard for you to see
what's staring you in the face
you may need a new prescription
to see that's you've lost my race
because i want someone who wants it all
the good the bad the me
the one who sees what i'm about
who sees my bullshit and calls me out
who knows the answer before i ask
who knows what part of my back to scratch
i don't want to hear your words
when you've already said your thoughts
i don't want you to settle with me
i want you to love me for my flaws
so if you want a goodbye song
when this thing we have you want to rescind
then close your eyes and listen real hard
you might just hear my voice in the wind
smiling
i blow bubbles in the air
this moment feels so rare
this time it's all in one
the moon comes out for fun
plays hide and seek with stars-
the lights from bikes and cars
and air is cold and clear
it blows against my ear
and the evening is so brisk
my breathe comes out in mist
and minutes last for days
spread out like endless waves
Ride
Dramatic, maybe
Moved by the sounds of acoustic guitar
Relentless, definitely
I’ll tell you my thoughts
I’ll see just who you are
I might be just a little self absorbed
But my pulse starts reeling when I hear that chord
And the rhythm makes my fingers glide
The base takes me
For a ride
Dreamer, Maybe not
Even though thinking of your lips makes me hot
Good speaker
Boy, you know I am
The words that I’ve been weaving
Make you want to hold my hand
You may think I’m a little bit self absorbed
But my heart starts pounding when I hear that chord
And the rhythm makes my fingers glide
As base takes you
For a ride
Ride
Tell me that you like me
Even if you don’t
I’ll pretend you do
And maybe you’ll excite me
The second that you bore me
I’ll be over you
I might be just a little self absorbed
But my pulse starts reeling when I feel that chord
And the rhythm makes my fingers glide
The base takes me
For a ride
Ride
Ride
Ride
Today
I told you to stay but you wanted to leave
And I can’t help the things I believe
I am who I am
And that’s not what you want
You need me to be
Something I’m not
So it’s okay if you want to go
Away
Today
Anything’s better than this game we
Play
And maybe you’ll learn to deal with yesterday
And tomorrow I can start to be okay
The sun is burning hot on my skin
And I’m feeling alone yet again
It’s strange I’m surprised that you’ve let me down
The sky opens up and I am moved by the sound
This clarity
This moment of release
This peace I feel
It doesn’t seem real
Your fingertips graze mine
I know that eventually
I’ll be just fine
So it’s okay if you want to go
Away
Today
Anything’s better than this game we
Play
And maybe you’ll learn to deal with yesterday
And tomorrow I can start to be okay
