So, Save Me

I can't talk to you & there ain't nothin I'd rather do but you think I'm crazy. You think I'm low down, baby.
I've been chewed up and spit out,
I've been locked in my safe house,
So, save me.
I know deep down that leaving this small town
saved me from becoming like anyone I used to love.
I just don't hear it enough.
Down by the Lazy is the river that sank me,
So, save me.
I've been wide eyed and tongue tied since the moment you walked by,
So, maybe.
My mind is tied in knots & I'd like you to detangle these knots,
but you think I'm crazy.
You think I'm low down, baby.
I've been let in and shoved out,
I've been turned on and turned out,
I've been picked up and put down,
I've been waiting until now,
So, save me!

Batty

Oh you love me!
Love me so hard,
that you sometimes drive me batty, babe.
So, please forgive me when I say I love you, too.
But you get too close when I'm eating,
always kissin', always tuggin' at me.
Keep your distance! Where you going?
Give me my space but let's talk a minute.
I adore you and abhor you all the same.
I can not breathe while you're kissin me into morning.
& you find me sweet underneath all the scorning,
that you've earned by the way.
Oh! You love me!
Love me so hard,
that you sometimes drive me batty, babe
so please believe me when I say I love you, too.
I won't pretend that a fairytale end is a-comin,
but time ain't just passing,
it's laughing and dancing
so long as I'm with you.
Oh! You love me.
Oh! You love me.
Oooh you!
So you love me!
Love me so hard,
that you sometimes drive me batty, babe.
So please believe me when I say I love you, too.

Did I?
03:39
|

Did I keep you round because you made me feel better?
Did you stick around because I made you less lonesome?
Did we partner up because together we were stronger?
Or did I mistake you for a friend because I missed home?
Should I call you up just to say that I won't miss you?
Should I rub it in although I hope that you miss me?
You don't know how to love the way you wanted me to love you,
and you don't know how to love the way I loved you.
You can take my pipe, leave it in the drawer,
everything else throw away.
I don't want to be accused of emotional abuse
so I won't be stopping by again.
Did I freak you out when I said you could do better?
Did I piss you off that time I saved you from yourself?
That night I came to you and held you while you were sobbing?
Or did I mistake you for a friend because I miss home?
Or did I mistake you for a friend because I miss home?
Tell me, did I mistake you for a friend?

There are some things that I have to do
and then I'm comin come to you.
Damn it's been a long time,
but it'll feel like no time has passed between me and you.
I'm, bringing a man back for you to meet.
I wanted to show him just what I mean.
I hope that you like him cuz I really like him
and no one that's come before has done this to me.
Up on a ridge is where I'll tell him face to face
that love may fade away
but ours won't.

Mashed Potatoes
02:34
|

|
I like to drink by myself,
I like to smoke weed by myself,
feel like I can breathe when there's no one else.
I'm fillin my lungs up with wine,
gettin that R&R time,
just me and beyonce tonight.
Well I'm drunk but I am super fucking great,
dancing round the kitchen this late,
cookin up some mashed potatoes.
I feel like my body is light,
feel like I'm slaying this night,
feel in control of my life for once.
The phone's going off for awhile
so I can try on brand new hairstyles
and dance without pants without a text from my aunt
just 'cause I can.
Well I'm drunk but I am super fucking great,
dancing round the kitchen this late,
cookin up some mashed potatoes.
Potatoes
mashed potatoes.

Tracking
04:33

Save, save it all.
All your words.
For I've been tracking you down.
I've been tracking you down.
Hands on a leg that's unshaved
but he's been holding them there
neither of us care.
Isn't it sweet to be renewed?
Just like a worn sock I'm slipping back into the warm,
soft embraceable truth of having a friend in you.
What lips and what gaze
I'm amazed survived through my bout of fear,
which did disappear.
Isn't it sweet to be renewed?
Just like a worn sock I'm slipping back into the warm,
soft embraceable truth of having a friend in you.
You have to leave suddenly
but I'll be tracking you down.
I'll be tracking you down.
