Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water
Don't look down
But still watch your step
You'll lose your head
To stick out ya neck
Don't give your heart
You still must protect
Or watch this turn
To one more regret
Trip tree root then try to re route
Robotic heart
Now please don't reboot
You fail again you will not recoup
Stop acting like there's something
To prove
Maybe I am over reacting
Fear of love is holding me back and
All bad trips are now in the past and
This seems new
So let's see what happens
Helmet on I'm ready for action
Waiting on your dissatisfaction
Meet my madness
With your compassion
Watch me fall I'm losing my traction
Been a minute since I really put my Heart in it
Really timid cuz commitments
Like the hardest shit
Why'd you pick a game so wicked Chris Isaak shit
It ain't groundbreaking most end in Seismic split
Still I'd move mountains just to see Your tides come in
And tell my wing man to board it up Like Yzerman
Strung along took it on the chin
Like Violin
Goodbye to my old ways
Wave as the tires spin
Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water
Try to find my value
In benevolent source
But the pressure mounting on me
With an elephant force
When it seem all is lost life has never been worse
I ride in on a skeleton horse like it's a Peloton course
I know that most will end in divorce
But this that old classic love like Getting letters from war
And I still can't get over how you Pepper the pork
So I'm letting down my guard like never before
Ugh Fair passage scare tactics
Deep breathe reset then flair past it
Dodging Bear traps
That appear active
Steer clear my deer
Ain't no care package
Don't trip I'm a tight closed lid
I'm a grown ass man
Still a psycho kid
But for you I'd walk
On that tight rope quick
So it'll work out like a tae-bo vid
Now that I need you
Don't be cool, it's see through
I'll weed through your murky water
You've been hurt
Me too
Those cuts don't
Bleed through
I'll weed through your murky water
