Keep It Close To Me

(album: Yoncalla - 2016)

I want to see you down
If that can help them get us
Completed or allowed
The tide will never let up
They say it's just our fate or by design
That we are strangers from another place
I keep it close to me
That we are going one day
To pull ourselves around
And end this in the long run

You never promised nothing
I always gave you something wrong
We never kept confronting
I only needed someone strong
You never started bluffing
To barely give me what we asked for, holding on
I know you might be staying
When all I want is just a change
And if you think you may be
Another time, another place
Then save the way you make me
'Cause this is dangerous for how we thought we played

The reasons that we hold
Could give you room to think through
We're changing what we know
Just like the wish it brings you
'Cause we know if they say another message
Keeps them leading you on bit by bit
Whatever happens
We'll be searching there until they blink
To keep me and to hope
That someone will forget to

You never promised nothing
I always gave you something wrong
We never kept confronting
I only needed someone strong
You never started bluffing
To barely give me what we asked for, holding on
I know you might be staying
When all I want is just a change
And if you think you may be
Another time, another place
Then save the way you make me
'Cause this is dangerous for how we thought we played
