Give Me A Reason

(album: Surfacing - 2019)

Hand hold cause it's real sweet
Like I been told that so repeatedly
The TV speaks to my body heat
I'm learning lines I should not repeat
I feel bad when I'm feeling me
Feeling sad 'stead of feeling strongly
It's a misnomer that I still repeat
Like a missed homer's got 'em on their feet
Current bringing in the gold leaves
Rock hard but I'm still weak
Erosion keeping wounds opening
It's better wetter guess I like the deep
I left out what you meant to me
I stress, I'm only talking bout me
Dropped an anchor where you used to be
Watching waves take everything

Convince me I'm wrong
Give me a reason
For going along
With my heart beating
What's keeping you strong?
What's keeping you breathing?
Where did I go wrong?
With my heart beating

Let 'em in at an arm's length
Box 'em out cause I'm so mean
Skim the surface, keep it nice and neat
I don't play to keep, I just play to beat
Storytellers telling precious lies
"Special someone" that's a precious lie
But we can get it if you're down to ride
Long as everybody's clarified
Keep that shit from spreading pesticides
Sinking deeper in behind your eyes
Growth you barely swear you verified
Adam's Eve, apple of my eye
Separate 'em like your work from life
So important they do not combine
Keep assuming that you're fortified
You the warden 'til you stuck inside

Convince me I'm wrong
Give me a reason
For going along
With my heart beating
What's keeping you strong?
What's keeping you breathing?
Where did I go wrong?
With my heart beating

Convince me I'm wrong (Convince me I'm wrong)
Give me a reason (Give me a reason)
For going along (Tell me I'm in love)
With my heart beating (Ooh-ooh-ooh-yeah)
What's keeping you strong? (What's keeping you strong?)
What's keeping you breathing? (What's keeping you breathing?)
Where did I go wrong? (Yeah)
With my heart beating
