Now I got you where I want you
Let me take you for a ride
Just a hand in my back pocket
You say it’s not yours but it’s not mine…

Now I’ve gotten where I want to
How long, did we specify?
Just a hand in my back pocket
You say it’s not yours but it’s not mine...

It’s just a joyride, baby, without the joy
The oval track made  me dizzy
Straight line see how far we’ll go
Before I see someone better on the side of the road

Now it’s getting darker
I know you’re not a fool
You’d get there faster 
If you go by foot

Now it’s getting colder
You ask for my jacket
I turn the AC up
And say it’s my ex’s, but you can have it

Now I got you where I want you
Let me take you for a ride
Just a hand in my back pocket
You say it’s not yours but it’s not mine…

It’s just a joyride, baby, without the joy
The oval track makes me dizzy
Straight line see how far we’ll go
I see someone better on the side of the road
 
The tank’s empty but still 100 speed,
Why are the brakes out? Why won’t you leave? 
Careful jumping out, dear
There’s the police, you can ask them for a lift

Side Of The Road

This is a song I wrote few years back, and I figured I would fix it up and release it just for fun on Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

Beautiful Enemy

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

you've cursed the names of certain streets
I curse the place we used to meet
I'll say fuck my sentimentality
and fuck my car for the places it takes me

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

I've tried to take back our soundtrack as my own
this album's mine, I've claimed it as my home
so fuck my sentimentality
and fuck obsessing over all the stupid memories

(why are you so close to me)x2

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me
Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

Why Are You So Close To Me

Collaboration with @SourceDecay, who wrote the lyrics

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 & 2]
I want to love you like you deserve
But I think I need to love me first
It sounds so simple, written down
Keeps getting harder to spell it out

I want to fill your heart all the way up
But can't pour blood from an empty cup
You say the world is red and black and white
I say one day we'll be all right

[Chorus 1]
'Cause you make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
And I think you could make me whole

[Verse 3 & 4]
We're all eternal for a while
And, while we're here, I want to smile
It feels so easy in the sun
Gets so much harder on the run

I want to give you everything
But nothing good can come from nothing
You say the world's falling apart
I scream out damn it don't you start

[Chorus 2]
'Cause you make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
And I think you could make me whole

[Bridge]
But even as perfect as it seems
There's something dark about our dream
I pinch myself, try to wake up
Admit it's time to fill my cup

[Chorus 3]
You make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
But only I can make me whole

Make Me Whole
