Love Me Right

(album: Begin To Look Around - 2021)

Thought I had found a love to hold me down
Felt that was so profound, but now I'm older
Planned out a life while I was flying blind
Thought we'd sustain the high, grow ever-closer

Hold on, hold on, pleaded with him to think again from the passenger's side
He said "it's gone on too long", but thinking back on it, it's clear he never really tried
He didn't think that he could love me right, was having trouble sleeping through the night
But I'm done waiting at the borderline knowing I could find

Someone to serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end

Now I'm wide awake and I've less weight to take
It would be hard to break this concrete frame of mind
Few and far between are moments where I dream
Won't let them intervene or have them waste more time

I let go, let go
I made a home out of aloneness and gave up the fight
Nonetheless, I will not suppress how I wonder
If someone could come to love me right
Wouldn't have trouble sleeping through the night
I've set the bar now to a whole new height
I'll leave on the light

If you're going to serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end

Love me right
Who'd have thought I'd ever come to realise
Love me right
Truth is it don't need to be a compromise, I think you'll find
Love me right
Who'd have thought I'd ever come to realise
Love me right
Truth is it don't need to be a compromise, I think you'll find

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It's all in your favour in the end
