DON’T FEEL MUCH
Andrew Allen 2020
V1
Young love, grew old, my hands, still hold
Your heart, ice cold, you’re done, I fold
Long nights, short days, I’m strong, they say
These walls, I made, to hide the pain
PRE
I tried to turn a little part of me off
Hoping I could feel numb, thinking I could move on
The problem is you can’t just turn a piece off
Ya shut the whole damn thing off, I can’t even feel love
CHORUS
‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all
I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call
To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again
‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something
‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much
V2
You left, I froze, my heart, it broke
Turns out, I don’t, like being, alone
My tears, ran dry, no pain, just time
Trapped in, my mind, maybe that’s why
PRE
I tried to turn a little part of me off
Hoping I could feel numb, thinking I could move on
The problem is you can’t just turn a piece off
Ya shut the whole damn thing off, I can’t even feel love
CHORUS
‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all
I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call
To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again
‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something
‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much
BRIDGE
Maybe I’m afraid I’ll die, and I won’t feel a thing
Or maybe I’m just terrified that I won’t love again
CHORUS
‘Cause I don’t feel much, I don’t feel much at all
I know I’m fucked, I need someone to call
To get this off of my chest, I’m trying my best to breathe again
‘Cause I wanna feel something, I wanna feel something
‘Cause I don’t feel much, na I don’t feel much

V1
Had an apartment in the West End, you and I were best friends
Making love on the weekend, every day was the weekend
You were scared of airplanes, but ya wanted to go to cool places
So ya put on a brave face, held my hand, said you felt safe
PRE
I know you like your own time, ya know I like to share mine
Maybe that’s a hard line, I never woulda guessed that I’d
Be standing here confused, watching while I lose
Everything I thought I knew
CHORUS
There’s so many things about you I remember
Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater
How you get kinda sad in rainy weather
But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever?
Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever
V1
You say you’re doing so well, it’s funny ‘cause I can’t tell
I know, that I’ve been through hell, not that, you asked how I felt
I still have the photographs, years deep, remember how we used to laugh
Now you’re tryna hide the past, new friends, new you, but you want half
PRE
What about the late nights? Camping in the moonlight?
Promising you and I gonna do life, I never woulda thought that I’d
Be standing here confused, watching while I lose
Everything I thought I knew
CHORUS
There’s so many things about you I remember
Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater
How you get kinda sad in rainy weather
But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever?
Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever
BRIDGE
A memory’s a weird thing, when we don’t see the same thing
It’s kinda like a strange dream
CHORUS
There’s so many things about you I remember
Your favorite pair of jeans, your dad’s old sweater
How you get kinda sad in rainy weather
But I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever?
There’s so many things about you I remember
Like all the little secrets that I’ll treasure
Do you still get sad in rainy weather?
‘Cuz I feel like I don’t know you now, did I ever?
Feel like I got burned somehow, damn, did I ever.

V1
Honestly you’re not the first one
Honestly neither am I
Will you tell me bout your first love?
And I’ll tell you about mine
PRE
Tell me all your secrets yeah the bitter parts are sweeter
When I know how far you’ve come to be here now
I’ll show you all my scars and how they somehow play a part
In making me the one that you don't have to doubt
CHORUS
I can be all yours
You can be all mine
I know I got some baggage but it got me here tonight
You told me where you’ve been
And it changes everything
Cuz I don’t have to worry that you’re going there again
I‘ve been there too, broken hearted and confused
It was just getting me ready for you
V2
I didn’t know what I wanted
‘Til I found out what I don’t
I bet you’ve got the same story
Already know how it goes
PRE
Tell me all your secrets yeah the bitter parts are sweeter
When I know how far you’ve come to be here now
I’ll show you all my scars and how they somehow play a part
In making me the one that you don't have to doubt
CHORUS
I can be all yours
You can be all mine
I know I got some baggage but it got me here tonight
You told me where you’ve been
And it changes everything
Cuz I don’t have to worry that you’re going there again
I‘ve been there too, broken hearted and confused
It was just getting me ready for you

V1
My inner orchestra began to play, as the ship was sinking
Thought I’d drown the day she went away, but I didn’t
Sold the house, and I’ll be moving out, I no longer own this
If home’s where the heart is, I’m not homeless
PRE
Took that first kiss so serious
I was hoping that you felt it, ‘cause I felt it
CHORUS
I’m so over being down down down
I’m so fucking high right now
It’s you that turned it all around
It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and
Tell me you’re Down down down
To fall in love for real right now
‘Cause if home is where the heart is,
I’m not homeless
V2
Took a picture on the day we met, you were smiling
Looking pretty in a white sundress, it was perfect timing
If you’d have met me just a bit before, I was a hot mess
Lost my home where my heart was, but I’m not homeless
CHORUS
I’m so over being down down down
I’m so fucking high right now
It’s you that turned it all around
It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and
Tell me you’re Down down down
To fall in love for real right now
‘Cause if home is where the heart is,
I’m not homeless
PRE
Took that first kiss so serious
I was hoping that you felt it, ‘cause I felt it
CHORUS
I’m so over being down down down
I’m so fucking high right now
It’s you that turned it all around
It doesn’t get better than this, come closer and
Tell me you’re Down down down
To fall in love for real right now
‘Cause if home is where the heart is,
I’m not homeless

V1
You said you wanna pull of these sheets
They’re claustrophobic on your feet
And these pillows they can’t stay,
But you won’t let me leave
The world sees the parts I show
But you wanna see the parts that no knows
God knows that you love my nervous smile
Hope you got some time ‘cause this could take a while
CHORUS
‘Cause I never felt so wanted
Never good enough
But you went and changed my world the moment you showed up
And if I’m being honest
I’m sober but I’m wasted
And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it
You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted,
And girl you know I want it, want it, want it
V2
And when your life’s falling apart
You pull me close to hear my heart
And though I can write a song
Baby you’re the piece of art
The world sees the parts you show
But I wanna see the parts that no one knows
God knows that I love it when you smile
I hope you got some time ‘cause this could take a while
CHORUS
‘Cause I never felt so wanted
Never good enough
But you went and changed my world the moment you showed up
And if I’m being honest
I’m sober but I’m wasted
And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it
You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted,
And girl you know I want it, want it, want it
You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted,
And girl you know I want it, want it, want it
V3
Sometimes I think I talk too much
But that’s a part of me you say you love
I’m just doin’ my best to tell the truth
‘Cause I wanna make you feel the way I do
CHORUS
‘Cause you make me feel so wanted
Always good enough
Ya you can do all the things that you’ve been dreamin of
And if I’m being honest
I’m sober but I’m wasted
And I can’t find the words, but I’ll just try to say it
You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted,
And girl you know I want it, want it, want it
You make me feel so wanted, wanted, wanted,
And girl you know I want it, want it, want it
You make me feel so wanted

V1
Somebody said tequila
4 shots in I forgot that I used to need ya
Before I knew it I was 10 feet tall
On the court playing basketball
But I don’t play sports at all
PRE
And if you're moving on with someone else
Don’t think I’ll be crying to myself
CHORUS
Cuz I got my friends
They laugh when I’m not that funny
Don’t try to make me be somebody
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends
Don’t care if I’m flying first class
Or if I got a brand new bus pass
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends
V2
I found me a piano
4 chords in and it wasn’t despacito
If the world was ending made its grand debut
Making me sad just thinking of you
But my friends they pulled me through
CHORUS
Cuz I got my friends
They laugh when I’m not that funny
Don’t try to make me be somebody
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends
Don’t care if I’m flying first class
Or if I got a brand new bus pass
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends
PRE
So if you're moving on with someone else
Don’t think I’ll be crying to myself
CHORUS
Cuz I got my friends
They laugh when I’m not that funny
Don’t try to make me be somebody
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends
Don’t care if I’m flying first class
Or if I got a brand new bus pass
Ba-da ba ba ba-da ba
Cuz if they did then they’re not my friends

V1
Everytime i think about tomorrow
Something’s stirring up inside of me, exponentially
Time will tell, but when I fell for you
I knew it wasn’t gravity, it was clarity
PRE
Ooooooo, i think i finally figured out, you don’t ever have to doubt me
Ooooooo, this is what I’m all about, baby can you hear me out?
CHORUS
I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear
And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care
I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be
But I would tell you that I love you even if
You never said it back to me
V2
How have I been alive this long,
But it took you to teach me how to breathe, like, honestly
I never woulda seen this coming, let alone turn into something,
Kinda crazy you and I are happening
CHORUS
I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear
And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care
I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be
But I would tell you that I love you even if
You never said it back to me
PRE
Ooooooo, i think i finally figured out, you don’t ever have to doubt me
Ooooooo, this is what I’m all about, baby can you hear me out
CHORUS
I wouldn’t listen, if I didn’t wanna hear
And I wouldn't tell you, everything, if I didn’t think you’d care
I wouldn’t hold you, no, if it’s not where I wanna be
But I would tell you that I love you even if
You never said it back to me

VERSE 1
Every single hour felt like minutes to me
Meeting you and slowing down came effortlessly
It was like a full moon that never burns out
I wanna hold you, and spin you around
PRE
Your hands, my body
Baby don’t stop please
I’m obviously, yours
CHORUS
Go slow, i like to let it linger
You know, my knees are getting weaker
Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter
Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur
Lips touch, dammit do I need ya
Your hair, running through my fingers
Sunlight, silhouettes your figure
Eyes closed, deep breath
Let it linger
VERSE 2
You and I are moving though we’re perfectly still
Can we pause and let the world turn off and start to unbuild
All of these moments that keep us apart
I wanna slow down the beat of my heart
CHORUS
Go slow, i like to let it linger
You know, my knees are getting weaker
Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter
Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur
Lips touch, dammit do I need ya
Your hair, running through my fingers
Sunlight, silhouettes your figure
Eyes closed, deep breath
Let it linger
PRE
Your hands, my body
Baby don’t stop please
I’m obviously, yours
CHORUS
Go slow, i like to let it linger
You know, my knees are getting weaker
Uh oh, no kiss was ever sweeter
Eyes closed, deep breath I can feel ur
Lips touch, dammit do I need ya
Your hair, running through my fingers
Sunlight, silhouettes your figure
Eyes closed, deep breath
Let it linger

V1
Where’d you go? Had I known, I don’t think I would have followed
Now I’m home, all alone, trying to make it til tomorrow
I can’t sleep but I can scream ‘cause there’s no one here to hear me
Empty house, empty heart, God I wish you never loved me
PRE
Why’m I still loving you?
Swear I’m not trying to
All that you put me through
It’s time to get over you
CHORUS
I put on my shoes and go for drinks with all my friends
I laugh at all their jokes and swear I’m happier than I’ve ever been
They say they’re surprised I’m fine with how this thing is ending
But the truth, the truth is I’m pretending, I’m pretending
The truth is I’m pretending
V2
Even now you’re too proud, you can’t even say you’re sorry
But in the night, I know you fight yourself to make through til morning
This fuckin leash, can’t get it off, when you call me I come running
But that’s on me, ‘cause foolishly I still believe that you might love me
PRE
Why’m I still loving you?
Swear I’m not trying to
All that you put me through
It’s time to get over you
CHORUS
I put on my shoes and go for drinks with all my friends
I laugh at all their jokes and swear I’m happier than I’ve ever been
They say they’re surprised I’m fine with how this thing is ending
But the truth, the truth is I’m pretending, I’m pretending
The truth is I’m pretending

This One

V1
Sometimes I wish that I could go back to the first time that we met
Watch us from a distance, hang on every word we said
Tap myself on the shoulder, gently whisper “listen close”
You gotta breathe in every part of her ‘cause I know where this goes
CHORUS
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
This one, this one, you’re gonna love this one
V2
Wasn’t all that long ago I didn’t even know your name
But when I heard it for the first time it was all that I could say
There was always something different from the moment we began
And looking in the rearview, I think someone had a plan
CHORUS
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
This one, this one
BRIDGE
If I could go back, I’d slow down, I’d breathe you in
I’d remember the sun and how it kissed your skin
The smell of your hair and how it framed your face
I would listen to the heart inside me say
CHORUS
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love
CHORUS
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
She’s gonna pull you from the shadows, bring you back into the sun
You’re gonna love, you’re gonna love, you’re gonna love this one
This one, this one

V1
Can we talk? Can we say what’s on our mind?
Without arguing this time, about who’s wrong and who is right?
Can we stop? This dam’s about to break,
When you’re mad you show your hate, and you say things you shouldn’t say
PRE
Words are worse than sticks and stones,
And they’ll forever hurt me,
CHORUS
You said you didn’t want me,
When I needed you the most,
You said I was controlling,
When I asked why you’re not home,
You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it
I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it
V2
I let you go, but somehow you’re still here,
Even after all these years, you’re still ringing in my ears
I didn’t know, a tongue could cut so deep
If you were stronger underneath, you wouldn’t need to make me feel so weak
PRE
Words are worse than sticks and stones,
And they’ll forever hurt me
CHORUS
You said you didn’t want me,
When I needed you the most,
You said I was controlling,
When I asked why you’re not home,
You’re trying to apologise but I don’t think you mean it
I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it
CHORUS
You said you didn’t want me,
When I needed you the most,
You said I was controlling,
I just asked why you’re not home,
You’re trying to apologise and I’m trying to believe it
But I was listening when you said I wasn’t, and now I can’t unhear it

How I See It
04:36
|
|
||
V1
I started my life with a suitcase
My mom was just a kid, and we both had to grow up
Could've been left without love, but I was chosen instead
By a mom and a dad who would tuck me into bed
With a song and a kiss on my forehead
PRE
And all my friends could see
Is that it must be hard for me
CHORUS
That’s not how I see it,
Not how I believe it
You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is
Everything could be tragic to me
That’s not how I see it
Not how I perceive it
I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t
This shit is a blessing to me
I don’t hate the world, and i don’t think it hates me
And that’s just how I see it
V2
I had a choice when I was real young
While other kids were climbing trees my friends life got taken by one
Could’ve been scared of the world, whether I like it or not
Thinking it shoulda been me, when a scar is all that I got
Or maybe not
PRE
And all my friends could see
Is that it must be hard for me
CHORUS
But that’s not how I see it,
Not how I believe it
You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is
Everything could be tragic to me
That’s not how I see it
Not how I perceive it
I don’t wanna live in the past or try to change what I can’t
This shit is a blessing to me
I don’t hate the world, and i don’t think it hates me
And that’s just how I see it
V3
Well my love she left me in the winter
And in 17 years the wind’s never felt so cold
Could’ve been angry as hell, to be honest i was
For a second I thought, it was my only chance at love
But I know it’s not
CHORUS
And that’s just how I see it,
That’s how I believe it
You can call it rose colored glasses, or naive but the fact is
Everything feels like magic to me
That’s just how I see it
That’s how I perceive it
‘Cause I’m not gonna live in the past or try to change what I can’t
This shit is a blessing to me
I don’t hate the world, and I know it don’t hate me
And that’s just how I see it
