Vanilla Honey

(album: Terra Firma - 2021)

Does it make you feel better?
With the better weather and your Nana's knitted sweater?
I thought that I was doing better at controlling my temper
I thought that I was doing better at taking all the pressure

I'm not, but does it make you feel better?
With the better weather and your Nana's knitted sweater?
I thought that I was doing better at controlling my temper
I thought that you were like a bird flying away on a feather

And we fly, and we fly and we fly away
But if I try move slowly, then my thoughts
Control me, and if I
Don't act quickly, I'll get left behind

And if I speak so softly, then I
Don't see clearly and I can say
"Oh my God, I got to open up my mind"
Open up
Open up my mind

Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
Lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Baby, ay

Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving

But does it make you feel better?
In your fancy leather
And your Mother's fitted dresser
I thought that I was doing better at taking all my leisure
I thought that I was slowly piecing myself back together

I am, but does it make you feel better?
In your fancy leather
And your Mother's fitted dresser
I thought that I was doing better at taking all my leisure
I thought that I was doing better at putting my shit back together

And I hide, and I hide and I hide away
But if I try move slowly, then my thoughts control me
And if I don't act quickly, I'll get left behind

And if I speak so softly
Then I don't see clearly and I can say
"Oh my God, I've got to open up my mind"
Open up
Open up my mind

Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Baby, ay

Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl

Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl

Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
