Baby, Please

Oh, I just wanna see your smile, my baby
Come and sit for a little while
We’ll talk about nothing, oh
Come Sunday, we will be in our best clothes
Laughing off the week

I just wanna hear your laugh, my darling
A simple exhaling of the breath
That you’ve been holding
As tightly as your clammy hands
Holding up the world
Till they finally grew stiff

Oh, I need a shock to my heart
For my mind and heart are worlds apart

I just wanna be set free
You tell me
Pack your bags, let’s go for a couple weeks
We’ll get out of this rut
That we found ourselves in
We closed off the doors
To all our senses

I just wanna be alright
You tell me
I’ve been doing what it takes to feel alive
But nothing's working
At least for the last few weeks
Baby, I need to feel something other than my own grief

I need a shock to my heart
For my mind and heart are worlds apart
So take me as I am
And I swear I’ll understand
I’ll understand my friend

But I just wanna see you cry, my baby
Oh, release what’s killing your insides
And tell me oh what it is that you need
Can’t find it for yourself
Than find it in me

I just wanna hear you scream
Let’s break the ice that’s been holding you down under sheets
For I swear we can get past anything
Oh, together we can fight off all the bad feelings

For we need a shock to our hearts
Our mind and heart are worlds apart
My friend, you weren’t alone as you thought
You’re not alone in this
You’re not alone at all
You don’t have to feel it all on your own

You’re not alone in feeling
You’re not alone in feeling
You’re not alone in feeling
You’re not alone in feeling
You’re not alone in feeling
You’re not alone in feeling

For I’ll be in your ears
Telling you it’s alright
If you just trust me
Trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me

Baby, please
Baby, please
Baby, please
Baby, please
We’ll sing it together
We’ll sing it all
Melodies of life
Happy and raw

Baby, please
Baby, please
Baby, please
Don’t leave me
