Taking My Mind Off

I can't speak, not around you.
But my silence speaks volumes.
I'm sorry I was not listening.
How could I when you're standing there?
All along, I should thank you for taking my mind off.
So thank you!
I am made of skin and you are made of flesh and blood.
But not forget to mention candy.
We beat around when we should lay it all on the table.
We're adults so what's the point in waiting.
Oh shit! I like you.
Probably shouldn't, it's just too many things.
Before I fuck it all up, I'll probably sabotage
So thank you.
I did noting but, best case scenario, we might be happy but
will we ever know?

Need Some Sleep

I like your face because you look just like the girl next door.
I got the vodka if you got the bud. I know you don't smoke but,
you got me thinking I'll do anything that you wanna do and
I think that you could like what I have in store, but you probably don't
We're way to different to like any or some of the same things and
I'm not so positive that you even know what is happening to me.
I can't shut it off.
My mind is running offf
Just about every night.
Oh god I need some sleep.
I like your teeth because I've never seen a straighter set of teeth.
It makes me nervous when you smile at me and I kind of like it.
When things get boring you can count on my call.
But I can't expect the same from you to reciprocate and all.
We go round and round.
When's it gonna happen?
This is getting nerve wrecking.
I just say we kiss.
What's the worst, we never talk?
We've come a long long year from that.
If it's the right thing to do
then that's what's gonna happen.
It doesn't feel good
but it's so easy.
Just not to talk about it.

Witchy Lover
03:46

I'm coming onto you but I've been set up to fail. A past lover, a witchy lover put a hex on. I'm almost sure. I'm a push, you're a pull or vise verse.
Before I know, it's like you're gone. I try to go, you pull me in. We're back and forth.
I'm not so dark but I got color in my skin. I'm not so smart but I got something up in here and I conceded all superstition and it's real. If I'm turned on to you then you're not turned onto me.
Pass me by night by night.

I'm everybody's sidewalk
I'll roll over if you run over my bones
Take these ribbons you won
so daddy knows you can do it on your own.
You're a lucky boy to the sun.
I'm everybody's punching bag
I'll roll over if you roll it over my bones
