'Talk to Me'

And I’ve been waiting by the phone
‘Cause I know that when you call 
I’ll get you alone
I’ll get you alone

And you’ll be safer in this place 
And I can’t wait to share my name
And give all of my soul to you 
Together growing old with you

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

And now I’m trying to hold my breath
With my arm behind your head
Darling I’m in ecstasy
When you’re sleeping next to me

And I’m scared to wake you up
‘Cause the way you look’s enough
To ask if you will marry me
Darling will you marry me

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

Like the river feeds the sea
Know that you, are all that I will need

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
Say my name ‘cause when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy

‘Cause I feel loved
Come on baby bring me up
‘Cause when you talk to me
Darling I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

I feel loved

Lyrics:

[v1]
We made a mess, but I don’t mind
It made sense to be friends for a long time, but
Here we are so what do we do now
Maybe we’re afraid cause we got something to lose now
Good enough, but it looks like we shot it
So if we’ve already given up
Do we stop it?

[v2]
We’ve been in the same cycle for a while
Swimming up against the current and we wonder why we struggle
When we stop saying what we mean when we mean it
Stop having any hope when we know we believe it
And we repeat it ‘til we drop it
If we’re gonna fall apart
Do we stop it?

[bridge]
Stop saying that we weren’t enough
Stop saying that I wasn’t enough
Stop thinking you can call my bluff
Stop thinking that you’re calling my bluff
You’re not cause
I’ve gotten good at getting over you
You gave me plenty of practice
“We can’t be mad about it if we laugh about it”
And you can’t stop laughing

Stop It (Stripped)
