Me and My Baby

Me and my baby,
we don't need to be romantic.
We like to go on dates to the grocery store.
Me and my baby,
we don't need no goddamn poems.
We don't need no dresses,
and we definitely don't need your blessing.
Me and my baby,
we don't need your damn permission.
We like to march to the beat
on our own.
We like to hold hands,
we like to goof around,
we like to have good sex,
and we definitely ignore your judgements.
Just like you ignore our joy.
Just like she ignores my farts.
Just like I ignore her Larry David moments.
We both embrace our love.
Yeah, we both embrace our love.

Creeper
02:17

When I see you from across the room
it's like watching a TV screen.
I'm not seen, and I'm not heard,
but you're advertising to me.
'Cause I'm in the demographic
I'm in the demographic baby
I'm in the demographic
that you're attracting.
The way your gaze falls my way,
you're breaking the old forth wall.
Can you tell me, listener,
if I'm making sense at all?
'Cause I feel like a creeper
I'm looking like a creeper baby
I feel like a creeper
and you can totally tell
that I'm going to hell.

My girl, she's got feathers and wings,
and you know when she sings, she sings.
Why does that song make my vision start to tunnel
like there's nobody there but her?
Don't let her talk to you that way!
But you don't know her like I do!
Cover your ears, tie yourself down.
Don't let her pull you under!
My girl, she's got leather and rope,
and sometimes she likes to tie me down.
And though I tend to like it when she takes control,
I slowly start to lose myself.
I think this might be a red flag.
So take that as a warning sign!
Cover your ears, tie yourself down.
Don't let her pull you under!
Come back to bed.
Come ease your mind.
I can't look in those eyes,
I can't hear your voice
If I do there's no more me, there will only be you
I can't do this honey,
I'm sorry but it's true
When you say that to me there's no more me and you.

Find Our Way Home
02:33
|

We started from a place of both being so afraid.
You're anxious and preoccupied.
I'm dismissive and avoidant.
But by the power of the universe,
or god or fate or fluke
we put our trauma in reverse.
You told me of your triggers and I wrote them in a list so
I could reassure you and our fears could coexist
I told you of my baggage and you heard me through and through
and I became less afraid to say that I love you
Let's make a plan
we'll find our way home again
Aware of our assumptions and explicit with our thoughts
setting down our egos and gentle with our flaws
uncertainty is certain but we have the tools to cope
and address any issue with the common thread of hope.
Let's make a plan
we'll find our way home again

Current

Your love is a current.
It brings my soul to life.
When you fill me with electricity,
my eyes shine bright.
You light my path with ease
Makes it so easy to see,
that with your love
I know right where to be.
Your love is a current
flowing downstream.
So when I'm tired of swimming
you will carry me.
And as I float along,
I can rest, then grow strong.
With your love
I float effortlessly.
Your love is current.
It's present and it's now.
It was yesterday and last week.
It's five years from now.
So if I'm ever lost,
I'll just look down at my hand.
With your love
I'm always where I am.
