Sweet as can be 
And perfect for me 
But somehow it still isn’t right 
I can’t give you what you need 
I know that I’m not in your dreams 
Maybe on another night

But it’s such a shame to let these feelings go to waste

How do I tell you that you make me weak 
And how do I tell you I can barely speak 
Got me mesmerized, you take up my time 
But I can’t complain 
How do I say that I want you around 
And how do I say that I can't come down 
From this high I’m on
I wish that I was the one 
That was keeping you up at night 
But I know I never cross your mind

Cold as can be
I still fall so easily into your bed at night 
You can’t wait to see my face
But I just need some space
'Cause I don’t want another fight

But it’d be such a shame to let this feeling go to waste

How do I show you that you make me weak
How can we talk it out when you won’t let me speak
Got me agonized when you waste my time
And I can’t complain
How do I tell you I don’t want you around
‘Cause everything you do only tears me down
From this high I’m on 
I wish that you weren’t the one
That’s keeping me up at night
Yeah, I wish I never crossed your mind

Cross Your Mind

Lyrics:

Cross legged
Losing feeling
Crosses on the wall losing meaning
Crossing my fingers this is what it wants
I say hello
No response

Rotting basement with a wooden floor
Wooden tablet sitting there before
Candlelight igniting on the sconce
I ask for closure
No response

Don't know how we ended up here
At the same time it all seems so clear
Confusion and anger met with nonchalance
I plead forgive me
No response

Hands frozen
Losing feeling
Writing on the wall losing meaning
Tired of waiting to be one of its haunts
I say goodbye

In Good Health

No Response

Your smile still looks the same
But your eyes give it away
And I wonder if you're happier now
How have you been
It's been a while
Since I found out you don't want me around
And I wonder if I'm happier now

'Cause people change
And things get hard
But I'm still here
And you still have my heart
And how could you forget us
Everything that we built and now there's no trust
What happened to us

Are you happier now

Remember when I stayed the night
Said that you wanted kids as long as they had my eyes
Remember how we planned our lives
Did you mean what you said or did I not see a lie

I vividly remember everything we ever said that we should apologize for
I think we hurt each other more than we realized or
Maybe you knew how I felt and thought it would be best
When I gave you my heart to shove it back into my chest
I'm sorry that we never got to make amends
I'm sorry that I butchered every word I said
I'm sorry that we never got to reconcile even though it's all I've ever asked for
All I've ever asked for
Sorry that I wasn't clear with what I intended
All I wanted was a "why" and I never pretended
To know every little thing going on inside of your head
But I vividly remember every word you said

Your smile still looks the same
But your eyes give it away

When we see each other out you have barely a reaction
Why does it bother me to see you feeling damn fantastic
I vividly remember every word you said and they were laced with acid
I know I shouldn't bother and I know that I'll regret it
But I still gotta ask it

Why did you forfeit me
And everything that we built abandoned our legacy
What should I believe

Am I happier now
What should I believe
Am I happier now

Your smile still looks the same
But your eyes give it away
And I wonder if we're happier now

Happier Now

Lyrics:

Toss my phone aside
I shouldn't be surprised
If I don't hear from you again
But should I confess
All these feelings in my chest
'Cause you know I never liked to pretend

I know I shouldn't ask for closure
But it keeps me up at night
If I said that I still need you
Would you run back one more time

Now I feel you around
Whenever I pass through that town
Or when I hear that certain song
You still cross my mind
And I vividly remember what we said
At our last goodbye

Reprise

Lyrics:

Sweet as can be
And perfect for me
But somehow it still isn't right
I can't give you what you need
I know that I'm not in your dreams
Maybe on another night

But it's such a shame to let these feelings go to waste

How do I tell you that you make me weak
And how do I tell you I can barely speak
Got me mesmerized, you take up my time
But I can't complain
How do I say that I want you around
And how do I say that I can't come down
From this high I'm on
I wish that I was the one
That was keeping you up at night
But I know I never cross your mind

Cold as can be
I still fall so easily into your bed at night
You can't wait to see my face
But I just need some space
'Cause I don't want another fight

But it'd be such a shame to let this feeling go to waste
But it'd be such a shame to let this feeling go to waste

How do I show you that you make me weak
How can we talk it out when you won't let me speak
Got me agonized when you waste my time
And I can't complain
How do I tell you I don't want you around
'Cause everything you do only tears me down
From this high I'm on
I wish that you weren't the one
That's keeping me up at night
Yeah, I wish I never crossed your mind

Lyrics:

Call me up whenever you need me
I'll come running every time
Press your body against me baby
Trace your fingers down my spine

'Cause I know you'll stay with me tonight
But in the morning you'll change your mind
Yeah I'm addicted to this shit

I always swear that this will be the last time
That I'll give in to you
But you know I can be a fool
A fool for you

I need you inside of my veins

Come on down whenever you want to
Just let me pour another glass
Show me how hard it is to stay true
With your legs around my back

Why don't you stay with me tonight
So by the morning you'll change my mind
Yeah I'm addicted to this shit

We both know this won't be the last time
That I'll give in to you
Cause you know I'm such a fool
A fool for you
So please fuck me till the light
And by the morning I'll change my mind
Yeah I'm addicted to this shit
And I can't let this night be it, no

Please stay with me tonight
And hopefully I'll change my mind
I am so tired of this shit

I wish I could say this is the last time
But I'll give in to you
Cause you know that I'm a fool
A fool for you

I need you inside of my veins

Tie me up whenever you want to
Don't you dare show me an ounce of respect
Show me how hard it is to stay true
With your fingers wrapped tightly around my neck
Carpet burns on both the knees
Bending backwards to appease
You think this is about release
You don't even know the half
What's the point of being sad
Just step out and tighten the slack
My dead friends have got my back, they know I'm hurting
There's blood in the water, and now I'm certain
This hellhole is not where to go just to get in some sleep for the night
The shots in my veins are making me bet I won't wake in the morning alright
But in a corpse of a person I never knew
Sometimes I wish that I never do
Regardless I still endeavor to
Get another hit of this pain
Cause I need it I need it inside of my

Veins

Lyrics:

I cannot help but feel alone
When you sweep me off my feet
Your warmth, it soothes my sinful soul
By swapping nerves for deceit

I cannot help but feel weighed down
When I hold you in my arms
And my heart drops down from my chest to the ground
When you let go of my palm

And I can't let go
No, I can't let go
Hold your cards while I hold my tongue
No, I can't let go

I gave you shelter along with my soul
And I thought you did the same
And if you leave, I will not be whole
And I'll know that I am to blame

I cannot bear watching you walk away
When you've always been by my side
I can't listen to the voices in my head
My vulnerability will be my demise

I cannot help but feel alone
When you sweep me off my feet
Your warmth, it soothes my sinful soul
By swapping nerves for deceit

I'm on my knees hoping you'll understand
That begging forgiveness from a charlatan
Only keeps us dreaming of the cold
So let's stay in the days of old
Oh, keep me in the days of old
So keep me in the days of old
Oh, stay with me in the days of old

Confessions

Lyrics:

Drowning in a sea of fears
Swept away by a tide of tears
I know that there'll be no light
So I hold my breath and I close my eyes
In the cold unknown I feel so alone
And you never told me why

How did our love run dry

My lungs are filling up
I gasp for air but it's not enough
Under the waves crashing on the shore
I need a savior like you were before
I reach out for you and scream your name
But through the darkened hue I see you sail away

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, no, it's nothing new
I know I shouldn't be surprised
But I never see it coming every god damn time
You disguise your words and the lines get blurred
Was there truth inside your lies

How did our love run dry

My lungs are filling up
I gasp for air but it's not enough
Under the waves crashing on the shore
Need you to save me but you won't anymore
I reach out for you and scream your name
But through the darkened hue I see you sail away

Can't you see the storm ahead
Do you even care what's to come
Don't you know what could've been
If you only returned my love
And now that storm's thundering
After our last goodbye
As I drown I'm wondering
How did our love run dry

How did our love run dry
Can't you see the tears filling up my eyes
I'm screaming your name

Love Run Dry

Lyrics:

How many chances do we get
How many times do we have to start over again
We always say we'll still be friends
But we both know that's not how it ever ends

We toss each other away
Then beg each other to stay
Can't we see how much this hurts
When we look in each other's eyes
And we say those little lies
Then we turn with no goodbye

The timing isn't right
But our feelings won't subside
So we're dancing in our dreams
We both know that starting over
Leads to never getting closure
So let's stop the pendulum swing

'Cause as quick as it comes, the faster it goes
So it's no surprise why we feel alone
This could be so easy
But we can't let go

The timing isn't right
But our feelings won't subside
So we're dancing in our dreams
We both know that starting over
Leads to never getting closure
So let's stop the pendulum swing

'Cause as quick as it comes, the faster it goes
So it's no surprise why we feel alone
This could be so easy
But we can't let go

We can't let go
No, we can't let go
We can't let go

Timing

Lyrics:

You didn't text me back
I don't know where you're at
I'm not sure if I should care
Is there something wrong
I don't feel like I belong
And you don't try enough to care

You don't even try to hide
No you don't disguise
How you've lost that spark for me

Take me back to the times
When you would look me in the eyes
And tell me everything that's on your mind
Was so secure but now unsure
I don't know you anymore
You put up a guard
And so I've left my heart on Woodland Blvd

I know that I was wrong
How can I move on
With all the thoughts inside my head
But you're not perfect too
I just wanted you
To tell me what you've left unsaid

Cause you don't even try to hide
How you feel inside
There's no longer any room for me

Take me back to the times
When I could look you in the eyes
And I would know what was on your mind
I was insecure but now I'm sure
That I don't know you anymore
You put up a guard and so I've left my heart on Woodland Blvd.

I think back to the times
When we could look in each other's eyes
And there'd be nothing that we had to hide
We're both to blame for all that's changed
After all this time we're not the same
And even though it's scarred
I've left with my heart from Woodland Blvd

Woodland Blvd.

After graduating college in 2019, and following a drought of creative energy, Larissa Hanson and Noah Reed began channeling similar frustrations relating to their own relationships, work, and mental health into an entirely new endeavour for either artist.

Linear Process comprises the wistful nature of Hanson’s songwriting, and Reed’s detail-oriented approach to production.

As a solo artist, Hanson has an ongoing series of albums, Sad Songs, which deal primarily with heartache, love, and toxic relationships. She continues these themes with Reed, whose songwriting leans more into the metaphorical, and whose solo work blends folk- and prog-rock aesthetics. When combined with Hanson’s poppy, singer-songwriter approach, the nuanced and varied sound of Linear Process is created.
