I'm not trying to complicate it
Just keep me motivated
Take my cell phone
I won't be home
Just wanna be outside
Wanna be alone
Take my car keys
Keep the beat steady
Don't need no drum set
I got this thing ready
Too many images
Information overload
Don't wanna be asked
Don't wanna be told
Take my car keys
Keep the beat steady
Don't need no drum set
I got this thing ready
If you're asked you have to give
Leave the rest you're gonna live

about
2022 single by Philadelphia-based indie-pop duo Oviette.
lyrics
Day drags on into evensong
Move my boots to pull my feet along
February chill has my heart undone
Like a rush in the meadow
Clock ticks slowly and my feet get cold
Wear it like a sweet, sewn into the fold
Of my winter coat, 'cause I'm not that bold
My heart just can't take it
'Cause that's just it
I lose my grip
When you walk in the room
I can't see nobody but you
Yeah that's just it
I lost my grip
There ain't no remedy
Unless I have your arms around me
Sunset mountains light my heart on fire
You can turn me on without the flip of a dial
That's called cheating when you play that card
And you're not even trying
Overrated storm try to ride it out
Weather report asks what the fuss is about
Slow my heart like a bene gesserit would
To not breathe in sand
'Cause that's just it
I lose my grip
When you walk in the room
I can't see nobody but you
Yeah that's just it
I lost my grip
There ain't no remedy
Unless I have your arms around me

Sunday morning
I was in the window
Throwing shades away
Sunlight was streaming
And no one could see me
Naked and brave
Thought I must be dreaming
If seeing is believing
The writing's on the wall
I've got a funny feeling
But it's too revealing
Can't give it away
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Gonna find a way now
Can you make me better
Get my steps together
With the clock on the wall
Take it slow and steady
I wanna know I'm ready
This time we're not gonna fall
Saw you in the next room
Think it might be too soon
But I'm starting to sway
Is it the gin and tonic
I'm braver than my logic
That I'm pushing away
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Gonna find a way now
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Gonna take it slow
Where the wind may blow
If we go to far
Will you let me know

Nightshades

Lately
Thinking of all the wondrous shades that come in blue
Nightly
Thinking of all the things that I want to do to you
Did you see me
Right before you drew the shade I was in your view
Daily
Trying to think of all the ways to see it through
Heaven knows I do
Feel like waking up to
Tangled in a sea blue
Dark as midnight with you
Feel like waking up
Blue isn't enough
To say what I dream of
Blue isn't enough
You were near
Always near
Arm's length beside me
Smoke and mirrors
Disappear
I can't see
But I feel
Did you see me
All these days beside you, now am I in your view
Can't you see me
Trying to think of all the ways to see it through
Heaven knows I do
Feel like waking up to
Tangled in a sea blue
Dark as midnight with you
Feel like waking up
Feel like staying up
Feel like waking up
Feel like staying up

Why Don't Ya
04:41

It was yesterday that I loved ya
Take me back
Why don't ya
It was yesterday that I loved ya
You can take me back
And why won't ya
It was yesterday that I held ya
Can't you say my name
Let me tell ya
Spending everyday thinking of ya
Everything I said
Everything I told ya
Is there any way
So many miles on a road that's behind us
You don't feel the same
Letting you go is a knot that unties now
Won't you come my way
So many times that I had to go find ya
You don't feel the same
Letting you go is a wire that unwinds now
Just like yesterday when I loved ya
You could take me back
So why don't ya

Space Between Us
03:39
|
|||
|
Stay up all night
Words roll around together
Closing your eyes
Daylight found us lost together
All the way and back
Just to see what an ending looks like
Lights going down
Just to see what the darkness looks like
Is there a space for a question
In all the space between us
Is there a space for a question
There's so much space between us

Dream of the End
05:52
|

|
Woke up that night I was crying
In the dream I could see through the end
All along you were trying
It broke 'cause I couldn't bend
Somewhere in this little house of my heart
There's a mirror
Somewhere in this little house
There's a place I can feel you
Somewhere in this town
At the end of the block
There's a light on
In a dream beside you
In the house on the end
Lying in the darkness
I couldn't say anything
Somewhere in this little house of my heart
There's a mirror
Somewhere in this little house
There's a place I can feel you
Somewhere in this town
At the end of the block
There's a light on

Undercover
03:13

|
I love this morning
The mist on your breath
The way the wind ripples your dress
Take me in, don't turn me out
In this wilderness
Our love is secret
Our love is stressed
Out in this cold severely underdressed
Take me in, don't turn me out
In the wilderness
I wanna take you away
To the scene of my crime
Not sheltered away
Show you the mess that's mine
Shuttered away
Let them see you
I see you
Carry a spare key to your flat
Hidden in my overcoat close to my chest
Take me in
Pull me away from the insincere
If they find us here we are through
But I'd rather be damned with you
Take me in, don't turn me out
In the wilderness
I wanna take you away
To the scene of my crime
Not sheltered away
Show you the mess that's mine
Shuttered away
Let them see you
I see you

Hooked

Hooked on a feeling
That I'd love to fall in love with you again
Got me on this tightrope now
Hands tied behind my back
One look down and I'm surely gonna fall
Got me on a tightrope now
Hands tied behind my back
Sometimes you don't know what you want til you don't got it
Hooked on a feeling
That I'd love to fall
Maybe I just bit off more than I can chew but
I'm already out there holding back nothing
Unbound and untethered, loosen all the strings now
They don't help me anymore
'Cause I'm hooked on a feeling

Find Out
03:05
|
|||
|
It's not the end of the world if I get a bit close to you
It's not the end of the world if I get a little too close to you
Find out what it means
a bit closer
It's not the end of the world if I spend some time with you
It's not the end of the world if I spend a little more time with you
Find out what it means
a bit closer
Find out what it means
a bit closer
to you

Nobody Else
03:53
|

|
Can you save me
from the things that enslave me
Can you keep me
from myself
Say you love me
like nobody else
You have made me
You can change me
You show me to myself
It eludes me
Why you love me
Like nobody else
Like nobody else

Talk To The Mountain
03:36
|
|||
|
She is on fire / her fury’s the wood
It kindles desire / misunderstood
The little that’s left there / after the flood
Battles and bruises / still standing up
So you talk to the mountain / you talk to the wood
You lay down in the river / cause she understood
What it meant to be held up / carried away
Hold your weight up / she never strayed
You’re getting tired / the same thing again
You go back to the old place /. And do what he says
You fight your battles / in torrents of rain
The forest a bastion / you go to be brave
So you talk to the mountain...
(Can you get there?)
