lyrics

It’s like clockwork at this stage
Just when I think it’s wrung me dry, I turn the page
And there she is,
I try to keep my heart at bay
But it always finds a way
And I’m praying for the day there’s nothing left of me to take

Cause honey you’re heavenly
And I can see this turning into something bigger
than I wanted it to ever be
And I can see it fading into nothing for you
as it blazes up and on for me
I’m getting feeble underneath;
it isn’t something that I wanted you to ever see
I break so easily

And I don’t want to be this way
When you say you wish you weren’t closed off, I can’t relate
I think I’m done but then you laugh, and I could die
It’s so hard for me to lie
I can’t change myself I’ve tried
I’m not controlled or dignified

And honey you’re heavenly
And I can see this turning into something bigger
than I wanted it to ever be
And I can see it fading into nothing for you
as it blazes up and on for me
I’m getting feeble underneath;
it isn’t something that I wanted you to ever see
I break so easily
You’re way too good for me
This won’t end good for me

I know I told you I was able
And I didn’t mean to lie
Put my cards down on the table
So when I leave soon you’ll know why
Cause I get lost when you tell stories
When you kiss me I feel high
So before I start free falling
For your sake I’ll let it lie
I wish I could be someone different
Who could take it in their stride
I just look better from a distance
And you look so mesmeric tonight

Oh honey you’re heavenly
And I can see this turning into something bigger
than I wanted it to ever be
And I can see it fading into nothing for you
as it blazes up and on for me
I’m getting feeble underneath
it isn’t something that I wanted you to ever see
I break so easily
You’re way too good for me
This won’t end good for me

about

Tayla Young image

Tayla Young Brisbane, Australia

Raised in NQ to the sounds of Australian storytellers, Tayla’s lyrical artisanship and endearing vocal inflection are the unmistakable cornerstones of her craft. Often compared to the stylings of Missy Higgins and Lisa Mitchell, the Brisbane-based singer-songwriter demonstrates an inherent honesty in her writing, as she turns the burden of relentless introspection into something truly worthwhile. ... more
