I Won’t Love is for anyone holding on, toying around with a past love; anyone who has found themself in an ongoing situationship, wondering if they're getting in their own way. After breaking things off with my first real love, I left New York to spend time with my mom in Phoenix, Arizona. It felt like I had left half of my heart with someone else, and that I’d never know my full self ever again. I wrote this song to almost say, “call me when you hear this” to them. The process of bringing it all to life in the production was absolutely seamless; my good friend, Devan Skaggs, and I sat in his home studio in Phoenix while he did the most wonderful job producing, mixing, and mastering this record. For anyone unable to imagine themselves ever being able to find love again, this song is for you.

Lyrics:

You’re overseas, I’m in between 
I love you, but I don’t know what to do 
So I let you go, hoping you’d miss me
You’d call me, say you’re on your way back home 

Well it’s just a thought 
A passing thought 
We’re in our ways of making, making love 
And if you’d see it for what it was 
Then maybe you’d see where I’m coming from 

I won’t love, oh I know it 
I won’t love anyone but you 
Tell the skies above and the earth below it
I won’t love anyone but you 

You broke a heart for me, but it’s not enough 
I’m on your mind it seems, you just can’t make it up 
You told her you’ve been dreaming of me 
You called my name tangled in her sheets 
You broke her heart for me, it still just ain’t enough 

But it’s just a thought 
A passing thought 
We’re in our ways of making, making love 
And if you’d see it for what it was 
Then maybe you’d see where I’m coming from 

I won’t love, oh I know it 
I won’t love anyone but you 
Tell the skies above and the earth below it
I won’t love anyone but you 

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Yeah
I won’t love anyone but you 
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Yeah
I won’t love anyone but you

I Won't Love

The second song off of RÓISIN’s upcoming EP, ‘Loop’ captures the feelings of confusion that come with being pushed, pulled, and strung along by a romantic partner. What was first a journal entry fueled by frustration, later became a song with close friend, co-writer, and co-producer Anh Le. Reminiscent of '90s/early 2000s pop-rock, it was then brought to its final form with producer, Devan Skaggs.

LYRICS

Tell me where were we again, got lost in my head 
Now I’m in your bed 
I never could let go, left the door half closed 
You came peeking in 

You pick and choose when you want me to
Bend for you
And I do 
Then I’m all in, but I’ll never win
When all you do 

Is throw me for a loop 

Opening up every wound as I’m kissing you 
Pouring salt on love 
Reckless ain’t so romantic when you get caught 
It just hurts too much 

You pick and choose when you want me to
Bend for you
And I do 
Then I’m all in, but I’ll never win
When all you do 

Is throw me for a loop 

In some other life 
Maybe you and I knew how to move in time 
When I close my eyes 
I can picture us in harmony like some imprinted memory 

You pick and choose when you want me to
Bend for you
And I do 
Then I’m all in, but I’ll never win
When all you do 

Is pick and choose when you want me to
Bend for you
And I do 
Then I’m all in, but I’ll never win
When all you do 

Is throw me for a loop 
Ahh, oh
Ahh, oh
Throw me for a loop

Ahh, oh
Ahh, oh
Throw me for a loop

Loop

This song is my way of speaking up. Always trust your little gut. But also always remember the good that comes from the bad.

lyrics:

Funny how you thought you’d get under my skin
How your words would convince me 
I didn’t know what I wanted 
Funny how the veil is wearing pretty thin
Lost your grip, then I slipped free 
Dropped the ball and thank God I caught it 
Eyes wide open 

I don’t wanna do right by you
I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t
I don’t wanna do right by you 
If that’s what you want, I’d rather be wrong 

Hope you can never fill the gaps I left behind 
I hope I always come to mind 
When your hands are tied, no one’s knocking 
And when you’re debted, overdrafted, on the line 
I hope you swallow all your pride 
Think of all the light in my pocket 
Eyes wide open 

I don’t wanna do right by you
I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t
I don’t wanna do right by you 
If that’s what you want, I’d rather be wrong 
I don’t wanna do right by you
I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t
I don’t wanna do right by you 
If that’s what you want, I’d rather be wrong 

Eyes wide open 
Doors I’m closing 

I don’t wanna do right by you
I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t
I don’t wanna do right by you 
If that’s what you want, I’d rather be wrong
I don’t wanna do right by you
I don’t wanna do right by you 
If that’s what you want, I’d rather be wrong

Right By You

Lyrics:
Green eyes, green grass 
Late drives, leaned back 
In the back of your car, lookin’ up at the stars 

What a weird line we all walk 
Through a strange land that don’t stop 
Don’t think we were meant to wander this far 

How to feel alive like this 
Bottle up a moment into a wish 
In a snow globe 
Frozen just how it is 

I’ll never know, I’ll never know 
I’ll never know, I’ll never know 

Sublime, kinda high 
When you’re right there, summertime 
Haven’t slept a wink, now it’s sunrise 
Hanging on the brink feeling alright 

Right here, right now 
So clear on the come down 
Layin’ on the pavement by your side 
Drownin’ out the world for one night 

I feel so alive like this 
Bottle up this moment into a wish 
In a snow globe 
Frozen just how it is 

I just wanna live like this 
Take in every moment, just like a kid 
With wonder, curious bliss

I’ll never know, I’ll never know 
I’ll never know, I’ll never know 

We’re so temporary 
Dust to dust away we go 
You make it all less scary 
Wrap me up into your soul 
Is it ordinary to find your mirrored light, or
Are we the chosen ones?

I’ll never know, I’ll never know 
I’ll never know, I’ll never know 
But I love you so, I love you so 
I love you so, but I’ll never, never

Know
Ahhh oh
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
I’ll never know
I’ll never, never
Ahhh oh
I’ll never know
But I love you so 
I’ll never, never
I’ll never, never
I’ll never, never know
