Album: The Common Linnets (2014)

Give Me A Reason

You tell me that you can't make up your mind
You've been riding fences all your life
So go ahead and build your own little boat
Won't you tell me if it floats
And if it don't, don't you cry to me

Y'tell me maybe I'd be better off on my own
Just wanna hear me tell you baby that you're wrong

So damned tired of all these constant contradictions
Baby getting your convictions
I can't make up your mind (oh no)

So why can't you just look me in the eye
The very least you owe me is goodbye
If you want a hearty
I'd give me a reason to run
If you want a love soul
Give me a reason to ride you home

You're talking of a love for heaven nothing is safe
Leaving you free in your little cave [?]
Won't you give me just a little piece of truth
It's less about me and it's more about you

So why can't you just look me in the eye
The very least you owe me is goodbye
If you want a hearty
I'd give me a reason to run
If you want a love soul
Give me a reason to ride you home

So why can't you just look me in the eye
The very least you owe me is goodbye
If you want a hearty
I'd give me a reason to run
If you want a love soul
I'd give me a reason to ride you home [2x]
