xo, derek

i'm lyin' down thinkin' 'bout you. i've been thinkin' 'bout you. i've been thinkin' 'bout you. Do you think about me still? do you, do you? or do you not think so far ahead? cause i've been thinkin bout forever.

so come on i'll take you on, take you on. i ache for love, ache for us. why don't you come, don't you come a little closer? so come on now Strike the match, strike the match now. we're a perfect match, perfect somehow. we were meant for one another. come a little closer. flame you came to me, fire meet gasoline..

how many times do i have to tell you? even when you're crying you're beautiful too. the world is beating you down, i'm around through every mood. you're my downfall, you're my muse. my worst distraction, my rhythm and blues. i can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you. my head's under water but i'm breathing fine. you're crazy and I'm out of my mind.

you don’t want me, no, you don’t need me. like i want you, oh, like i need you. and i want you in my life, and i need you in my life. you can’t see me, no, like i see you. i can’t have you, no, like you have me.

bang bang, i'm calling your name. you're like a fire the world can't tame. i wanna riot 'til the stars come out and play. is that okay? (okay) tonight it's me and you alone. won't take a call, won't even write a song. this'll be a personal holiday. listen baby, when you're down, and it's hard, and you feel like you've given your all. baby my love is always right here for you.

don't forget, we've got unfinished business. stories yet to unfold, tales that must be retold, and i regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness, keeps me wanting, keeps me wanting more. sell me out i'm yesterday's old news, phrases left on paper, black ink bleeding through the pages where we made our history. call me foolish, i feel hopeless.

a hundred and five is the number that comes to my head when i think of all the years i wanna be with you. wake up every morning with you in my bed. that's precisely what I plan to do, yeah.

i don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight, let's just fix this whole thing now. i swear to god we're gonna get it right, if you lay your weapon down. red wine and ambien, you're talking shit again, it's heartbreak warfare. good to know it's all a game, disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak. it's heartbreak warfare.

how could you be so dr. evil? you bringing out a side of me that i don't know. i decided we weren't gonna speak so, why we up 3 a.m. on the phone? why would she be so mad at me for? homie i don't know she's hot and cold. i won't stop wont mess my groove up. cause i already know how this thing go; you run and tell your friends that you're leaving me, they say that they don't see what you see in me. you wait a couple months then you gonna see, you'll never find nobody better than me.

when the lights don't glow the same way that they used to and i finally get a moment to myself. i will realize you were everything i'm missing. and you tell me you're in love with someone else. so can you do me a favor if pull it together make it sooner than later, we won't be here forever and i realized i waited too long but please don't move on. you don't need no one else.

'cause i don't wanna lose you now. i'm lookin' right at the other half of me. the vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold. show me how to fight for now and i'll tell you, baby, it was easy comin' back here to you once i figured it out. you were right here all along. it's like you're my mirror, my mirror staring back at me.

and now i need to know is this real love, or is it just madness keeping us afloat? (ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...) and when i look back at all the crazy fights we had, like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah. (ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...) and now i have finally seen the light, and i have finally realized what you need.

we don't have forever, baby daylight's wasting. you better kiss me, before our time is run out. nobody sees what we see, they're just hopelessly gazing. baby take me, take me before they turn the lights out. before time is run out, baby love me lights out.

smoke with me baby, lay with me baby, laugh with me baby. i just want the simple things, i just want you. look at me baby, i just want you.

and i get high with my baby. i just left the mall, i'm getting fly with my baby, yeah. and i can ride with my baby. i be in the kitchen cooking pies with my baby, yeah. and i can ride with my baby.
