about

Written as a poem to a previous love, the feelings of overthinking being detrimental to the relationship were expressed into words as I felt them.

lyrics

VERSE 1
You’re worth all the lows for the high,
Yeah sometimes it gets worse in my mind.
I lose sight when my hearts on the line,
But if it moved to my sleeve then I’d be fine.

I say too many things that I don’t mean,
I’m just caught in a standstill machine.
Can’t move on when I wont move my feet,
Can’t complain if I ask to be beat.

CHORUS
But for you I have motive to try,
Need your love while I’m giving you mine.
No one else in the room I can see,
But the way you are looking at me.

VERSE 2
Cause I know that my mind plays the part,
Of the mistress that tears us apart.
No I can’t seem to move myself out,
But for you I’ll try all the routs.

Packed my bags I’m ready to leave,
All my thoughts just to find us some peace.
Run away from the thoughts that I can’t breathe,
Fill my lung just to take the life from me.

CHORUS
But for you I have motive to try,
Need your love while I’m giving you mine.
No one else in the room I can see,
But the way you are looking at me.

BRIDGE
For you bring out the best in me,
Replace all my thoughts with your trees.
Grow a whole damn new type of machine,
Helps me know how bad I could have been.

And you help me when I’m feeling low oh,
Pick me up dust me off and I’m ready to go.
No I’ve never felt like this before,
Now I know that it’s you I live for.

CHORUS
But for you I have motive to try,
Need your love while I’m giving you mine.
No one else in the room I can see,
But the way you are looking at me.
