hold me close becuase 
I ain't loved in a while 
and you're the reason I don't smile 
been alone for a while now 
could it be so simple 
couldn't ever be so simple yea 
girl your hearts a shattered window mines more like a torn up rubber band 
i wish things had ended different 
you don't know what you had till it's gone 
i wish things had ended different
sad thing is nothing would be different if I did it all again
keeping my head up cuz there's no other way 
running from love cuz there's no other way 
high up above smoking my lungs away
thinking of us the distance is miles away
push came to shove showed u my love today 
idgaf I wish that I could today 
it's been hella rough 
but im calling it bluff that don't think of us 2 
intuition keep telling me that u thinking bout me and what had we gone thru 
double up just to double down 
life's a gamble without u I'm running out 
if could I would best believe it 
loving u deeply by me leaving 
I've been hurt all fucking season 
I'm no good for u I mean it
I meant it 
when u die look for me in heaven 
I'll be there awaiting ur presence
maybe then we can start what was forever destined yea

If you're still listening (Prod. Dan Darmawan)

Lyrics: 
I can taste it,
If I look through you.
And on my mind,
And all my body,
We’re scrolling though.

I’ll pick you up, you don’t seem right.
I know it’s late,
And I’m still high!
Don’t give it breath,
Don’t give it life,
I’ll conjure up,
These flashing lights.
These flashing light.

I’ve been wasting,
All my time on you.
Can’t see for stars,
And you know the moons for fools.

See the wolves, wait here for now,
Keep binding heels,
Can’t you hear them howl!
Don’t give it breath,
See it take flight,
And watch it burn,
With firelight.
With firelight.

Because nothing, nothing could hurt me more.
Than those four things.
Than those four things,
Consuming you.
Consuming you.

And you know you find it hard, to come out of your shell,
Your shell.
And I know it makes it hard, to love you well,
Well…

And the truth is, that nothing could hurt me more,
Than those four things.
Than those four things,
Consuming you.
Consuming you.

LV Cabin Sessions - Vol 1

Through That Door

You won't chain me to the door.

----------

Written and performed by James Walker and Judy Blank. 
Produced by Sam Winfield at Studio 91.
Artwork by Stephane Paul (oui.non)

---------

[Verse 1: James Walker]
Pull me closer, cut me off
You’re playing Jesus, 
but where’s your cross?
You’ll take me for granted 
But you won’t chain me to your door

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey 
But you ain’t seen nothing more 

[Verse 2: Judy Blank]
I planted flowers 
inside your chest 
that grew to gardens 
and took your breath,
Now bear this burden
You know I’ve been alone before

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But I ain’t keeping score

[Chorus: James Walker & Judy Blank]
You got me lost
In the wildest fields
Got ahold of my heart
Told me how to feel
You longed for a heart-shaped
String of green 
But all I could give you was
Thistles & weeds

[Hook]
I’ve seen wild world honey
It’s right in front of me

[Verse 3: James Walker]
So uproot the roses
Untether ties 
Unlock my handcuffs 
Unfreeze my mind 
You’ve been using my kindness
And you refuse look inside 

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But you can’t open your eyes 
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
To see the wild world honey
It’s no big surprise 
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
I’ve seen the wild world honey
It’s not by your side
