lyrics

Oh is this my reason pained
all this wrestling I'll feel it
when I awake
I'll feel it when I wake up

So much on my list to grind
you can hold my empty handedness
but it's all I have
to contribute to you

All this drift cements the night
I'll spend all my tired cash
yes, oh yes
I'll shake to bed and I'll
sleep all night

Oh would you calm down
Oh would you calm down
Oh Oh Oh
Would you calm down
Oh would you calm down

Have I found my strength tonight
Oh my courage is rewinded
Every time it's played back there's fuzz

Looking at my shadow's eyes
He says why won't you enjoy yourself tonight
I know you can

Oh I'm troubled wondering
What if someone just walks in
Sees me moving around
My hands on myself

Oh would you come down
Oh would you come down
Oh Oh Oh would you come down
Oh would you come down

This day's way stoned kicks into my pasty tones
Finds a wake in love well it's this enduring that's taking off
Well what should I be thinking of
Well hey should my intentions greet me
looking at my blinking doves
or listening to my hell-held times
oh god man I'll shake your love
seeing what I'm thinking should do it
Backstage my fingers curled up
up around something and I twirled it
oh god man my stomach I hurled it
have you been awake all night too?

oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
oooh with your baby love
