baby 03:35
Baby I wanna take you over and out I wanna walk around in the world that you’ve got in your mouth Baby you’re really makin me hungry Wanna taste all of the taste buds that you’ve got on your tongue Yeah baby you’re really driving me wild I wanna run my lips along the line that traces your smile Oh baby you’re really driving me wild I wanna do the things to you that make you say “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” Baby you’ve got a real good look Look like some pretty picture in a book Baby you’re really making me sweat Yeah you turn the heat up hotter than i’m used to Baby i got a real hard head And it’s thinkin bout the muscles that you’ve got inside your legs Baby i got a real hard head And i’ve got to do the things that make you say “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” Baby i wanna make you say Baby i wanna make you say Baby i wanna make you say “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah”

It felt just like a bed With a dent that fit my form Warmer than a womb is wet Yeah then I got born I felt just like a kid But i’m not a kid anymore I used to know what love is Now i’m not so sure Things used to be better It felt just like a bed We’d always been together You’ve always been here Maybe I was wrong about those times Maybe I was wrong about those years It felt just like a sweater Something warm and soft to put on It made me feel good Yeah now that’s done Things used to be better It felt just like a sweater We’d always been together You’ve always been here Maybe i was wrong about those times Maybe i was wrong about those years But i can see time stretched out like taffy I can hear your laughter through the floor That used to be me that was laughing But not anymore I’m holding onto hope that things will get better I’m holding onto hope that things won’t always be this bad I’m holding onto hope that i’ll be alright without a sweater I’m holding onto hope by a thread I used to have a sweater It felt just like a sweater Not anymore

ily irl 04:32
ILY IRL can you tell? When I’m around you all I wanna do is throw my phone in a well And ring you up like a bell ILY IDK what to say When I’m around you all I wanna do is throw my phone away When I’m around you all I wanna do is hit you up face to face Wooo but don’t strike me you don’t strike me as the type that would IRL ILY I can’t lie When I’m around you all I wanna do is throw my phone in the sky And close you up in my eyes Woo but don’t strike me you don’t strike me as the type that would Knock on wood Wouldn’t you know I’d go crazy over somebody crazy as me? Wouldn’t you know I’d go crazy over somebody crazy as me? Wouldn’t you know I’d go crazy over somebody crazy as me? Wouldn’t you know I’d go crazy over somebody crazy as me? Goin crazy

If you’ve got love Baby give it to me If you’ve got love You’ve got what I need I want your love I want your love If you’ve got time Baby give it to me What’s on your mind Baby come clean I want your love I want your love Give it to me I want your love
6.
It’s another song Bout when the love is gone And you’re singing along Cuz you know what it means Cuz you’ve been there before Looking for the door Cuz you looked at what you’ve got and it was not what you thought it would be Scream (if you know what I mean) Scream (if you know what I mean) A singer could sing a careers worth of songs about the love that I’ve lost And I’d sing along, especially the part where he says “in spite of it all I’ve got what I’ve got In spite of it all, i’ve done what i’ve done” No one told me moving forward would be fun A singer could string a million metaphors about you and me How my arms were parentheses around you And they bound you About as well as a gull’s bound by the sea About as well as my hand grabs at sand No one told me moving forward would wind me up where I am It’d get to the point where the singer would say “That’s the last time I write a song with your name On the tip of my tongue This is the last one”
7.
And I know that what’s in my mind is in my mind And I need to keep it to myself sometimes And I know that some things change and some things never do And that’s where I always messed it up with you But you know as well as I do that some things will never change And I know that what’s in your mind is in your mind And I need to mind my own business sometimes And I know that I can’t know what it’s like when I’m not around you But that doesn’t keep me from trying to And you know as well as I do that some things we’ll never know At least I hope so
8.
I sneak out of bed without waking you up I tell you good morning without saying as much They say good things will come if i’m patient enough I put a kettle on I’m making tea for two I shut off another alarm that you’re sleeping through I spend a minute or two thinking about me and you Then I think about me I pour your tea out because now it’s cold I think about me now for an hour or so I wonder if i’ll see you before I get old Now the bed is empty. I guess you got out I straighten the sheets and try and laugh about how You never leave anything the same way that you found it Then i think about me I run my fingers through your hair even though you're not there And it feels like nothing It feels like air And i still sing you my songs Even though you’re gone And i still call out your name Even though i know you can’t hear a thing I say I run my hand along your arm Even though that's hard Because you’re no where near me And you can’t feel me I still made you breakfast Even though you’ve left I sit and watch it sit and get cold And I think about getting old alone I’m not crazy
9.
it's there 03:34
I’m not yet an old dog barking But I’m not still a young gun smoking No but i still get dreams when it gets dark And i’ve still got dreams that i’ve been keeping in my heart But when you found me i was thinking ‘Maybe i’m all done dreaming’ Yeah when you found me i was thinking ‘Maybe i just don’t’ There’s no white horse underneath me No blue-gray castle behind me for me to take you to But there’s a spark theres a torch that i am raising From a heart with a voice that won’t stop saying your name But when you found me i was thinking “Maybe my heart’s all done talking” Yeah i was thinking “Maybe his voice is all gone” Yeah i was thinking “Maybe he’s never talked at all” But that was before you found me baby But you found me now Now i know I was wrong Cuz it’s there and it’s saying your name And it’s saying it over and over and over and over My heart’s there And it’s saying your name And it’s saying it over and over and over and over
10.
I can tell by the way that you’re looking at me That you’re wondering if i’m the man that you had thought me to be And I can tell by the way that your gaze is wandering That you’re weighing the pros and cons of letting go and holding on a little longer Baby hold on I can tell by the way that you’re looking around That you’re wondering if something’s changed or you just didn’t see it clear til now You’re wondering what list to put this on “Things you’re glad you did” Or “Things that you think you shouldn’t have done” Baby hold on Baby hold on Let your knuckles go white with the want of calling me “my man” a little longer Let your tongue go slack at the thought of having any other name on it Let your body want for my weight let your heart beat a little stronger Baby hold on to me I’ll change I’ll change I’ll change I’ll change

raking it in 03:41
I know that you don’t know me but I know what I’m about And I’m standing right beside you (look over there) I know that you don’t know me but I know what I’m about And I’m standing right beside you Yeah here I am just standing there Just me and my mind And i’m standing right beside you (baby take your time) Yeah here I am just standing there Just me and my mind And i’m standing right beside you I might not be your man, but I’m a man standing right beside you if you need to just turn my way I might not be your man, but I’m a man standing right beside you if you need one If you need one I’m a guy that you can turn to If you need one Can I be the one? Can I be the one? Can I be the one that you turn to If you need someone? Now people clap your hands If you know what it’s like To be there for someone Now tell me how am I doing? Am I doing alright? Being the guy (is he doing alright?)
12.
The world is filled with darkness And it gets darker every day It’s hard not to let my heart harden And it gets harder and harder to feel ok I start to slip Either I’m getting older or it’s gotten colder than it was before The world spins so fast I lost my grip But you hold me And you make me warm I know I’m strange I know I go so deep inside I can’t see out I know I shut the door so hard sometimes it shakes the house I know I close up so tight but baby deep down I know you’ll show me the way out I hope you stay around A light goes off when you walk away It comes back on when you come back I’m not saying I’m filled with darkness But whatever I am, you make me brighter than that You make me better You make me whole And I swear I’ll never never never never let you down If you never let me go I know I’m strange I know I go so deep inside I can’t see out I know I shut the door so hard sometimes it shakes the house I know I close up so tight but baby deep down I know you’ll show me the way out I hope you stay around
