Love's Intervention

(album: 23Winters - 2016)

You claim I'm just 5ft charm with an accent
My way with words has nothing to do with the attraction
A one on one with a one of one
You gave me a second but I'd be happy with a fraction
A book worm with a tell-tale heart
We could Edgar Allan Po' up for the potency
Clued up to the trap, you said my lies sound like poetry
Couldn't deny the fact I was startled by your honesty
You probably have me mapped, I ran out of apologies
Couldn't begin to count all the fucks you said you don't give
I assure you have my focus. Reassured
By the change you give to homeless
That's a mighty big heart, any room
For the hopeless romantic poet plotting heights at his lowest?
Still spinning from conversations we haven't finished
There's no use in us pretending
May I lower my defences? Tell the truth

My pride my defendant
Serve my life in a sentence
Stay a night, lose the friendship
Say the cycle is endless

You ever tried trusting before you love?
You ever tried knowing before you touch?
I see your exterior, cold as when summer went
You've heard this before, just not as eloquent

Deja Vu

We could be great together
We could be Yoko and Lennon
We could be "we" forever
On top of the world
We could create a family
Stop all war and poverty
Lay in bed on top of me
And love till we die

Love
Love, love, love
Love, love

Days in daze, my thoughts on you, said your guard was bulletproof
Since I've nothing left to lose, could we build upon the truth?
Let me give you all your flowers while you're still alive to tell them
That you're thankful for their scent (I am grateful for your sense)
Use my ears just like a diary and I promise not tell
Daddy could've taught you better but your momma raised you well

This is not a love song, this is not a love song
This is not a love song, this is not a love song
This is not a love song, this is a love intervention
This is a love intervention

My pockets empty enough to rest your heart in
Intercourse our new catharsis, flowers for dearly departed
Feelings of being guarded, I was still pushing daisy
You said my EP was decent, I still thanked you for listening
Since people consider pressing play part of the privilege
We sat under stars, watched the world planet demise
Carve our initials in earth so the world knows that we tried
You don't need the validation
Kindness for congratulations is hard to trust
Open up, you pull up, I roll up
You don't smoke, I'm more blunt
Talked X's instead of kissing hugged and said our goodbyes
Tongue tied, imagining tongue's tied to sweet nothings
Make my heart your home
Let me drown in your opulence
Let me drown in your
All I ask, if you can, hold me down
Show me love through the turbulence

You ever tried trusting before you love?
Knowing before you touch?
Loving before you...
Listening before you lust?
Dialogue, body language
Learn a lesson in us
Drowning inside your mental
Liquid like conversation

This is not love song, this a love intervention
This is a love intervention
This is a love intervention
This is a love intervention
