Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech
You just have to believe
Your deed will be recieved
Somehow somewhere
You won't be repaid with a blank stare
Let me know if you dare
---> Play Verse A (x1)
---> Play Verse A over:
There's no one that could cure you like she does
she does
No one could leave you so alone
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
Here I goes
My vibe is holy
My eyes closed
Either I'm asleep
Or what I'm thinkin is deep
Eventually I sigh and kick the sheets
Try to piece together why I'm here
Nothing except my own damn eyes and ears
And then it severs so I listen to my heart
Always and ever
If it's not good it might get better
If it's not good it might just sever
---> Play Verse C over:
Nick:
I tell you money there's other honey
You always show it but you don't know it
Staring at the door thinking
About the mess your in
In your couch sinking deep
Over the girl that's gone
---> Play Fill 1 (x1)
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
Just sever that leash and release
Your freedom of speech
You just have to believe
Your deed will be recieved
Somehow somewhere
You won't be repaid with a blank stare
Let me know if you dare
---> Play Verse A over:
Now all you think about her drink about her
in vain
But all else feels like you're betraying
---> Play Verse B over:
SA:
We're wakin it up face up and shakin it up
We know of an extended field
This is the deal we're letting and getting
The vibes that we want
Open up your heart and proceed to feel
Now you're inchin up to the summit never plummet
Boot your system up
And then bail with the middle finger up
Why you so abrupt baby don't be corrupt
---> Play Bridge over:
Nick:
Standing in the club playin the wall
That they're not her is all
You think and that is true
But what else can you do
Trying to turn back time
Or just tow the line
Cuz the space you're in
Is no place like home
---> Play Solo over Solo Riff
