Lovely - Single

Lovely

a song I wrote earlier this year. self-produced with Logic Pro X.

lyrics:
take me to the river 
to where you like me best 
and i will show you i'm no better 
than any of the rest 
take me to the river 
and i will get undressed 
i'll show you the heart 
that's underneath all of the mess 

this is my home 
the only one i've ever known 
where all my roots have grown 
where i feel most alone 
this is a lie 
everything i say is a lie 
except for when i tell you i 
adore the color of your eyes 

take me to the hillside 
while the weather's kind 
and i will break my promises 
and i will watch you cry 
take me to the hillside 
and you will see the fires 
that ravaged the place i was born 
barely made it out alive 

this is my home 
the only one i've ever known 
where all my roots have grown 
where i feel most alone 
this is a lie 
everything i say is a lie 
except for when i tell you i 
oh, i 

i don't know how many steps from here to the ledge 
don't know how much i have to bet 
don't know how much i have to lose 
by taking this old road with you but 

this is my home 
the only one i've ever known 
where all my roots have grown 
where i feel most alone 
this is a lie 
everything i say is a lie 
except for when i tell you i've 
got nothing left inside
