Lyrics:

So sick and tired of all your love songs
So sick and tired
So sick and tired of being strung along
By all your lies

You told me that you loved me
And that you wanted to change
I believed you, didn't come through
How could you babe?

I needed your love 
I needed your love
Some things we just can't see
I needed your love
I gave you my trust
Some things don't change

So sick and tired of all your love songs
So sick and tired
So sick and tired of being strung along
By all your lies
I needed your love 
I needed your love
Some things we just can't see
I needed your love
I gave you my trust
Some things don't change

Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh!

So sick and tired..
So sick and tired..

So sick and tired of all your love songs
So sick and tired
So sick and tired of being strung along
By all your lies
I needed your love 
I needed your love
Some things we just can't see
I needed your love
I gave you my trust
Some things don't change

Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh!

Lyrics:

In the backseat
Killing time
Fogging up the windows, baby
Up in midtown
I always hated it there
Until we made some different memories

Ooh everything you do
That was my 21st birthday
Ooh people pleasing
Who really knows what they're thinking?

Love, love, love
Love in the backseat
Love, love, love
Love in the backseat

In the backseat
With your mind
You are my favorite person
Different voices
Painting scenes in the night 
I am the artist, baby

Ooh everything you do 
This is the 21st century
Ooh through with teasing
Baby show me how you love

Love, love, love
Love in the backseat
Love, love, love 
Love in the backseat (yeah)

Love, love, love
Love in the backseat
Love, love, love
Love in the back

We were holding on tight
I was calling you mine
Baby we was making it plain
Ooh

Love, love, love
Love in the backseat

Lyrics:

Woke up to regrets from last night
Last time was supposed to be the last time
I'm getting way too old for this
Mama I'm still acting like a kid

Bodies on my left, babies on my right
I'm still stuck in a past life
Love can be a tug of war
But this time I pulled too hard
Now I see, oh now I see
What was right in front of me
Love is drugs, love is war
Which is which?
I'm not sure

How much is too much?
How long since I relished your touch?
A lot of things changed since last year
Everything's different now, without you here

It's been a long time
On my own
But I can't let you go

Bodies on my left, babies on my right
I'm still stuck in a past life
Love can be a tug of war
But this time I pulled too hard
Now I see, oh now I see
What was right in front of me
Love is drugs, love is war
Which is which?
I'm not sure

Oooh help me not to feel so fucked up, no!

Bodies on my left, babies on my right
I'm still stuck in a past life
Love can be a tug of war
But this time I pulled too hard
Now I see, oh now I see
What was right in front of me
Love is drugs, love is war
Which is which?
I'm not sure

Lyrics:
Hey hey you
Ever since that first night when we met, I think I knew 
Baby, hey
We made out in that bar in Lower east on a Tuesday

Remember well
That’s more than a year ago
But I couldn’t tell
You remind me all the time
And make me feel the way I felt that night, on a new day

Each night we’d lie and I admired your silhouette 
My dear

Sweet, hold on
I can’t imagine life without you walk-in it along
With me by your side
I never thought I’d say this, but I’ll tell you that you’re right

You mean so much
I just couldn’t handle it if you decide to run
Stay with me
Let it be

I try but I can’t sleep without your silhouette 
My dear

I lie at night and try to recall your silhouette 
My dear

Psychedelic Mischief

Verse 1:
Hey she tastes like candy
When I breathe you for a ride
It takes me with my mind, I find 

Life can be demanding
I feel scared to face my dark most times
I’m tangled up inside 

Chorus:
Oh Candy! And she tastes and she tastes like candy
Oh Candy! And it tastes and it tastes like candy

Verse 2:
Don’t leave me empty handed
If it happens it’s my fault
It wouldn’t be the first time

When I’m overwhelmed
I just breathe you in
See the world in a new light 
It keep me high, so high

Chorus:
Oh Candy! And it tastes and it tastes like candy
Oh Candy! And it tastes and it tastes like candy

Bridge:
I can’t make up my mind
Feels like I’m wasting my time
I am falling behind 
In a haze all the time 

Chorus:
I couldn’t make up my mind (Candy and it tastes and it tastes like candy)
Felt like I was wasting my time

I was falling behind (Candy and it tastes and it tastes like candy)
In a haze all the time

Candy

I’m a rockstar, baby. My name’s Danny L’Amour, I’m a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist living in Brooklyn making indie alt pop. I grew up on rock bands like The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tame Impala but also pull influence from pop-leaning artists like Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake. I love hip hop and r&b and I DJ electronic bangers in da cluuuuub with my music buddies in Bushwick.

My tunes are my life and you’ll get to know me well by listening. I hope they make you feel good like they’ve helped me.
