lyrics

I can see you wondering ‘bout it by the way that you graze me
And it’s okay if you’re undecided and still try to persuade me
I appreciate it when you say that you don’t mean to confuse me
But I’m not looking for devotion honey, maybe I’m just hoping you’ll use me

You know you need only ask, oh
I know this isn’t likely the last, no
But lately I’ve been making you laugh
Don’t worry about breaking my heart
Won’t show you when it’s broken in half
I know you only hold my hand when you’re drinking
Don’t even need to understand what you’re thinking
And I know enough by now not to chase you
Just tell me where you wanna go baby, I’ll take you

I know I’m just a grain among a sandstorm of all those who adore you
And I wouldn’t change a thing about it, I’ve been on my knees since I saw you
All these pretty boys that wanna give all things that you should have
They’ll still be there in the morning, but tonight if you want something you could have

You know you need only ask, oh
I know this isn’t likely the last, no
But lately I’ve been making you laugh
Don’t worry about breaking my heart
Won’t show you when it’s broken in half
I know you only hold my hand when you’re drinking
Don’t even need to understand what you’re thinking
And I know enough by now not to chase you
Just tell me where you wanna go baby, I’ll take you
Oh, you know that I’ll take you

Oh, it’s the sound of heals on the ground as your curls bounce in front of me
Lips like a pillow and eyes like a galaxy
I try to hide it but how can you honestly
Look like you do and not do what you’ve done to me oh
Oh well you’re impossible to read some days
But I think I could be just what you need some days
So, here’s me dreaming

You know you need only ask, oh
I know this isn’t likely the last, no
But lately I’ve been making you laugh
Don’t worry about breaking my heart
Won’t show you when it’s broken in half
I know you only hold my hand when you’re drinking
Don’t even need to understand what you’re thinking
And I know enough by now not to chase you
Just tell me where you wanna go baby, I’ll take you
Oh, you know that I’ll take you

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
