Sex O’clock (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
You’re always pulling me close to you, baby
You’re always pulling me down
I’m always close to your legs, baby
I’m always going down

It’s always sex o’clock in the morning
It’s always sex o’clock at night
Even in the middle of the day, honey
You’re always asking for the tick-tock

[Chorus]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

[Verse 2]
I’m always tired after midnight
You never give a damn about my dream-time
You’re always asking for another time
Which always leads to another night

You don’t give a shit about my job
So I don’t give a shit about yours
If your boss asks why you’re late tomorrow
Just tell him you found a new toy

[Chorus 2]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock

Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

In Between the Lines

By Benjamin & Grace (Fearless Free Soul)

Write me a line I could never forget
Send me the heart of your mind
Open the rib cage of time
Unlock the why of you and I

Take me back to our before
Gift me a word layered like a rose
Look for me in every petal and thorn
Watch us wither or watch us soar

I wrote a line you could never forget
Spread my dreams without you, not one regret
You sent me the heart of your mind
I was most alive with a love so blind
I opened the rib cage of time
Found a heaven in every hemisphere
I unlocked the why of you and I
Saw my fears burn in our atmosphere
I took myself to our before
Lost and found the core
I discovered a word layered like a rose
Moments just become written prose
Looking in every petal and thorn
I watched us wither I watched us soar

This was a fun collaboration with the multi-talented Grace (check out more of her work at Fearless Free Soul). It’s always exciting to see how the words will connect and come together. Lots to find between the lines here.

Everything (Song + Lyrics)

🌒

I want, I want, I want
The best for you
Even if it’s not the best for me

I have to give you everything
Even if it’s the death of me

I still hold tightly to chivalry
Even when nobody else believes

Because I want, I want
The best for you
Even when it’s not the best for me

It’s the worst of me
That I’m willing to abruptly leave

It doesn’t matter what you need, baby
Even the stars will come to me

If it’s really what you think you need
Then you’ll always get it from me

Since in my eyes
You’re the queen of queens
A starlit summary

I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna

I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna give you …

Everything I own
Everything I am
Everything I own
Everything I am

Everything I own
Everything I know
Everything I am

Everything, Everything
Everything, Everything
You deserve, You deserve
Cause you’re my world

I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna, wanna, wanna
I wanna give you everything

The Anatomy Of A Hug

Through an endless cycle of embrace
I will go beyond all lovers
And spin your world in reverse

Travel back to a time before myths
Reimagine the universe as the shape of our kiss

Slow

        Down

The

       Earth

Until the core and mantle flake

Whileholdingtheatmospherewithinreach

Atlas held the celestial spheres on his shoulders
Now you hold them on your hips
And spin my world in reverse

Not Like You (Lyrics + Song)

[Verse 1]

There’s no one like you in the world, babe
There’s no one like you in the galaxy
There’s no one like you in the universe, babe
There’s no like you in eternity

There’s no one like you in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like you in humanity

[Chorus 1]

That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why I’m never apart

That’s why I’m never apart

[Verse 2]

There’s no one like us in the world, babe
There’s no one like us in the galaxy
There’s no one like us in the universe, babe
There’s no like like us in eternity

There’s no one like us in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like us in humanity

[Chorus 2]

That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing our hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart

That’s why we’re never apart

[Bridge]

There’s nothing like you in the whole world, babe
There’s nothing like you in history

(2x)
That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why we’re never apart

That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart

That’s why we’re never apart

Push and Run (Song Lyrics + Song)

[Verse 1]
You told me that you’d never leave
In fact, you promised me
What do these words even mean
When they don’t last past a week?

I’ve seen you up in my dreams
The only place you don’t leave
What does that even mean
When it don’t last past a sleep?

[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone

You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone

You push and run
You push and run
Is that your superpower, huh?
Is that your…?

[Verse 2]
I told you that I’d never leave
You should’ve trusted me
I don’t do make-believes
Not even in a dream

This wasn’t fantasy
No matter what it seems
I’m coming for you, babe
Tossing the world out the way

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Drown every time I believe
This time I don’t think I can breathe
This time there’s no air left for me

You’re drifting me out toward sea
Die every time that you leave
This time I don’t think I should breathe
This time I don’t want to be

[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone

You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone

You push and run
You push and run
I know that more than anyone

You push and run
You push and run
Is that you superpower, huh?
Or do you do it for fun?

Whoa, or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so
I have to run?

Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?

I have to….
