Automatic

(album: Portraits - 2023)

(Yeah, oh)
If I reach out for you (Yeah, oh)
Will you pull me towards you? (Yeah, oh)
There's a voice that's calling (Yeah, oh)
Into the forest in the night

And I hear you talking (Yeah, oh)
And my heart is stalling (Yeah, oh)
Not gonna reach down for you (Yeah, oh)
I've already cut the wires

Don't ask me to need you like that
Don't ask me to give what I can't
Don't ask me to love you
Don't ask me to love you, no

I, I don't cut through the static
Maybe I think too much about it
If I could love you automatic
I would
Oh, you make it sound so simple
Drop my gun and act on impulse
If I could love you automatic
I would

Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love

If I'm on my senses (Yeah, oh)
Could I try pretendin'? (Yeah, oh)
Couldn't be so reckless (Yeah, oh)
To hide in the corners of my mind

When I caught sight sterling (Yeah, oh)
Couldn't see for certain (Yeah, oh)
But it won't hurt you (Yeah, oh)
I know how to kill the fire

You know

I, I don't cut through the static
Maybe I think too much about it
If I could love you automatic
I would
Oh, you make it sound so simple
Drop my gun and act on impulse
If I could love you automatic
I would

Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I would
Ooh
Ooh

Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love automatic, I would
Love
