You think I can save you
I don't want to
I've seen how my sisters do
Rescue every man
I'm saving myself first
I've been through enough hurt
I know what my love is worth
I have a plan
I have a plan
When you're hurting you call my name
I wish I could do the same
This ain't no easy game
I take care of me
I'm not trying to run away
I need time to think and pray
If you're gonna stay
I got to stay free
Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart
Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart
Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own
I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone
Some time alone
Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart
Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart
Why do you press me
To solve your problems
When I got my own
I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone
Some time alone
Time alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart
Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart
Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own
I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone
Some time alone
Why do you think
I gotta save your life
To prove my heart
Why do you wonder
Why I wanna spend
Some time apart
Why do you press me
To solve your problems
I got my own
I like you
But I need some time
Some time alone
Some time
Some time alone
Some time alone

Let You Know
03:31

I told you when I met you
We got someplace to be
We've been trying to get there ever since
Tryna get our lovin' free
I think about you every morning
Talk sweet to you every night
You know if you was next to me
I'd love you good, I'd treat you right
But I say
Do what you got to do
Do what you gotta do
I'll let you know if I can't stay
But I'll stay in love with you
You know that I've been broken
I think the devil knows my name
I fought to hold on to my shattered heart
I hope that nothing, nothing stays the same
I gotta ask a few more questions
I won't tell any lies
You say you want me to be happy
I believe you, I see it in your eyes
When you say
Do what you got to do
Do what you gotta do
I'll let you know if I can't stay
But I'll stay in love with you
I tell myself we'll be together
I'm always searching for a sign
But that's the thing about this long-hearted love
The future never comes on time
I keep on dreaming 'bout forever
While we living for today
One thing I learn from every journey
Is I don't get scared when I don't know the way
You gotta
Do what you got to do
Do what you gotta do
I'll let you know if I can't stay
But I'll stay in love
I'll stay in love
Do what you got to do
Do what you gotta do
I'll let you know if I can't stay
But I'll stay
In love with you

You
Want to do
Things you knew
Before you came my way
We
Trying to be
Something free
Do you know how to stay
Did you find the sweetness
You were searching for
Did you find the chaos
That you came here for
It's more than your mind
It's more than your heart
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
Tell me that you want me
Do you want me
Tell me that you need me
Do you want to need me
Tell me that we'll stay free
Don't you want to stay free
Promise me we'll stay free
Do you see me
It's more than your mind
It's more than your heart
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I wish that you could see
What I see
When I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
You
I see you
You
I see you

Water

Take me to the water
Take me somewhere I belong
And I know now that I was wrong
And I think I been gone too long
But I'm back now to make it right
I'm coming home to you tonight
Home to you tonight
Take me to the ocean
Take me somewhere I'll feel small
Take me to the river
Somewhere I can leave it all
Take me to the water
Take me somewhere I belong
And I know now that I was wrong
And I think I been gone too long
But I'm back now to make it right
I'm coming home to you tonight
Home to you tonight

Long-Hearted
06:25

You were not strange
Didn't ask me to change
Only rearrange
To love you
Instead, I fell apart
First crumbs, and then my heart
You were too steady for that life I knew
I still don't believe
That you will not leave
But you have convinced me to live in a world where you stay
I never believed
In enough
I never believed
In another day
Now maybe I understand
Why, why
I am this way
Ooh, I'm so unnatural to myself
Just a projection of your love
Caught in the strangeness of loving you
And each day I feel something new
Oh, the certainty of this ache
The uncertainty of its source
Oh, my ignorance
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know its natural course
Who am I?
Who am I?
To bear a love
This long, long, long
long-hearted love
long-hearted love
Ooh, I'm so unnatural to myself
Just a projection of your love
Caught in the strangeness of loving you
And each day I feel something new
Oh, the certainty of this ache
The uncertainty of its source
Oh, my ignorance
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know its natural course
Who am I?
Who am I?
To bear a love
This long, long, long
long-hearted love
long-hearted love
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?

What did you want?
What did you ask me for?
What did you want?
What did you want?
What did you take me for?
What did you want?
Don't wanna say your name
Don't wanna play your game
You know we're not the same
What did you think?
Don't wanna think about you
Don't wanna sink without you
You know I drink about you
You know I drink
I got whiskey
I got wine
Beer and bourbon
Turpentine
Pour me somethin'
Somethin' new
I still want you

Empath

I know what you're hungry for
I watched you open every door
Come and dance with me,
We are the same
You know my name
You'll never feel ashamed
They tell us what is real
They tell us what is right
They tell us how to feel
They tell us how to fight
Take my hand
I know the way
I know where you want to be
I know why you want to stay
I got that recipe
Missing in your life right now
One recipe
You can't seem to find
One recipe,
Without it, you just don't know how
One recipe
Can't get it out your mind
The mixed hunger
Of turning back
The journey so bittersweet
Trying to get everything back
One medicine
One prayer
One leaf from when you were there
One recipe
One tea
That one potion from when you were free
I know what you're hurting for
Ask for healing, prepare for war
Forever promised, coming soon
I love you salt in every wound
You know all the careful games we play
Teach me how to leave,
Teach me how to stay
Up all night
My eyes rubbed raw
I love you snow
I love you thaw
