*This song is part of a collaboration with Grace (who showed me these incredible lyrics). It was really fun working on this project with her, which was a month in the making; and I’m lucky to call her a friend.
[Verse 1] Don’t really want to think about you As much as I already do Don’t really want to like you Told myself all the reasons not to
[Pre-Chorus] My mom already knew the day we first met My best friend already placed a bet
[Chorus] But if I can’t open up to you I won’t need someone new And if you can’t be on my team My love will be your only dream I could settle for me all my life Could be my own husband and wife I could settle for me all my life Could be my own husband and wife
[Verse 2] When I texted you, I expected nothing Little did I know, I’d feel everything When I saw you, I denied it all Told myself I could never fall, told myself I could never fall
[Pre-Chorus] I felt like lightning the first day we met And somewhere in my heart I was excited to bet
[Chorus] But if I can’t open up to you I won’t need someone new And if you can’t be on my team My love will be your only dream I could settle for me all my life Could be my own husband and wife
So, if I can’t open up to you I’ll be my own someone new And if you can’t be on my team I’m meant to be my own dream I could settle for me all my life Could be my own husband and wife
I could settle for me all my life Could be my own husband and wife Husband and wife
*This song is part of collaboration with Cassa Bassa (who created the melody and lyrics). And huge thanks to Bree Leto for making this song so much better with her amazing voice and creative eye. Honestly, you saved this project.
[Chorus] I can fly I can hide I can never say goodbye
[Verse] You’re my life You’re my soul You’re my everything is true
You’re my sky You’re my tide You’re my everything alive
[Bridge] But I’d never ever let you go That’s true, oh whoa I can’t breathe without you I’ll never be fulfilled
[Chorus] I can fly I can hide I can never say goodbye
[Intro] You taught me how to swim, how to swim, how to swim And now I’m always in, always in, always in
[Verse 1] I used to hang out by the shallow side Nothing could pull me toward the tide The moon was nothing but a hanging ball And in your eyes I saw the biggest stars
I always love it when your hair is black I never thought we could go back The water’s deeper when your by the tide I guessed I got out of the shallow side
You always like it when I’m down below I should have learned to swim as a child I never thought I’d be a Marco Sailing the seas to wash up on the shore
Eric the Red would probably turn green If he held is breath as long as you make me… I’d have to be a Zeus or Hercules To do the things you always ask of me
[Chorus] I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)
[Verse 2] You want my lips when I come up for air You don’t do much but play with my hair You sound like you’re the one drowning, girl But I’m the one inhaling liquids here
[Chorus] I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)
[Bridge) I didn’t know the water was this deep Had I know I would’ve just, um, dipped my feet At least the temperature is never cold You’re the only one I wanna to know
[Chorus] I’m in deep water when between your thighs, yeah (4x)
[Outro] You taught me how to swim, how to swim, how to swim And now I’m always in, always in, always in (2x) Deep water (3x) With somebody With somebody With somebody With somebody That’s not you
[Verse 1] Everything is just so fucked up Everything is just so not love Everything is just fight and fear Everything is just shoot and smear
Everyone is just a mouth and ass Everyone has a dark, dark past Everyone says they’re all for peace While they drop bombs at children’s feet
Nobody wants to speak an ounce of truth And they’ll tell you that lies taste good Anybody with a stand or voice Will find out it’s not wise to make noise
Even if you’re the right this or that Eventually they’ll come for your ass And label you the king of wrong Then they’ll toss you to a mob before long
[Chorus 1] ’Cause everything is just so fucked up But you and us And your love Your healing love
[Verse 2] I swear I was just like them Before you became my very best friend But now I’m feeling a different way And I’m feeling like I’ll be okay
I see rainbows in the future now And a pot of gold when I’m allowed Your smile makes the sun come out But I’m the only one who sees that now
[Chorus 2] So everyone will stay so fucked up Without you and your love Your healing love Your healing love
[Bridge] I don’t want to be the prophet of doom Or be blown into a cloud-shaped mushroom But I got to scream and shout the truth:
[Chorus 3] Everything is so fucked up Without you Without you Without you And your love Your healing love
[Verse 1] I wanna show you what you do in my dreams There’s nothing better than you over me I could’ve married you yesterday But you’re married in another way
I shouldn’t tell you what I’m feeling inside I’m never smiling by the end of the night
[Chorus 1] Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
But I wanna Yes, I do But I wanna With you
[Verse 2] She kinda reminds me of “Jessie’s Girl” Her accent even has the same damn swirl It kinda feels like we’re from different worlds I hope she realizes that I’m from this Earth
[Chorus 2] Cause I wanna Yes, I do Cause I wanna With you
But you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
[Bridge] I kinda know that we are meant to be But you keep looking here and there And far away from me And far away from me
[Chorus 3] Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
But I wanna Yes, I do But I wanna With you (2x)
[Chorus 4] So let’s not just stay best, best, best, best, best, best friends Best, best, best, best, best, best friends We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends
I don’t wanna With you I don’t wanna That’s the truth (2x)
