Readymade

(album: Begin To Look Around - 2021)

Hold me close and keep me in your warmth
Show the ropes when living leaves me scorned
Greet me at the door
Saying you'll be my safest place to fall
Wrap me in a sense of sweet relief
Rid me of despair and belief
Know you're all that I need
When I am down and out, when bruised or bleeding

Tell me you'll take all of my weight
Have me seek solace to regain faith
Sing me to sleep, and come morning light
I'll be revived with you at my side

There is never any need to ask you to stay
I know you do
It's only in your nature to
Rest assured, this love's forever new

Simplify these convoluted thoughts
Ease my mind
Your comfort is the cause of my purpose and worth
When kicked to the curb
I'm back on my feet just in hearing your words

When you tell me you'll take all that I am
'Cause when in your orbit, I can withstand
Tenebrous lows or treacherous heights
All of my life, in you'll I'll confide

There is never any need to ask you to stay
I know you do
It's only in your nature to
Rest assured, this love's forever new

There will never come a time that I tell you to go your own way
You won't begin to feel me fade
Rest assured, this love was readymade

Tell me you'll take all of my weight
Have me seek solace to regain faith
Sing me to sleep, and come morning light
I'll be revived with you at my side
