Steady Now

(album: September Haze - 2018)

Steady now baby, steady now
Quit banging there on my door
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't wanna
Just have you right here on this floor

It's been years since I've found you
Put my arms around you
And we twisted our limbs into dreams
Did that best to keep up with that wild loving cup
'Til we both ran out of steam
Our love ran out of steam

Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now

Steady now baby, steady now
Quit jabbering outside my door
Used to jangle them keys like a dog scratching fleas
I ain't jangling keys anymore

I spent ten thousand days days like a runaway slave
Living a wild intoxicant style
Go ahead and get pissed
I don't mean it as a diss
I need sleep for a little while
Let me sleep for a little while

Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now

Steady now
Steady now
Steady now
Steady now

Steady now mermaid, steady now
You're swimming away from my door
Did I forget to feed you?
Do you know that I need you?
Do I kneel on linoleum floor?

I know you can't be tamed but I ain't ashamed
To beg you for a god damn bone
I quit jangling my keys and I told her to leave
Still I wait at your empty throne
Must I wait at your empty throne?

Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now, steady
Steady now
