A Lot To Take

(album: The Less I Knew - 2022)

Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could

We can still hear it breathing
Another forest fire
I hope you always need me
Just like I need you now
Pretend that it's all a game
Listen for every sound
The city I know is faded
Always a different crowd
Me, I just wanna be some
-one who can slow it down
Planets [?]
Still as the Puget Sound

And I was like oh
You're exactly what I had in my mind
You're the friction that [?]
It's exactly where we need to be right now
'Cause all I ever was was chasing

All of the warmest ones
They have the bluest lake
All that I wanted for
[?]
You better stay close by
Fingertips in my side, baby
I'll never, ever, ever let you go
When I was lonely
I was the last to take the note
Most people say they care about you
I always will
Maybe my arms won't start shaking
My hands won't stop breaking
I'll never, ever, ever let you go

Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could

Singing into the echo
Makes everything feel so good
You met me twice an evening
And covered me up in wool
I like the way it smells
Fold me into the ground
Your shadow's in concrete scenes
Swimming in different seas
Satellites overhead
Capturing everything
I never wanted less
I only wanted love

And I was like ooh
It's exactly what we had in our minds
It's exactly what the world might find
It's exactly where we need to be right now
'Cause all we ever had is changing

All of the warmest ones
They have the bluest lake
All that I wanted for
[?]
You better stay close by
Fingertips in my side, baby
I'll never, ever, ever let you go
When I was lonely
I was the last to take the note
Most people say they care about you
I always will
Maybe my arms won't start shaking
My hands won't stop breaking
I'll never, ever, ever let you go

Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
Look then you could
Look then you could only find
