[Intro]
(Slow, gritty electric guitar riff)
Yeah... mmm-hmm.
It’s tearing me in two.
(Da-da-doo, da-da-dum)
Listen to me now.
[Verse 1]
Let me settle down, oh, let me settle down
Waking up to the quiet in this cold and empty town
I say, let me settle down, Lord, let me settle down
Waking up to the quiet in this cold and empty town
Why must I wake up feeling this way, with my heart down on the ground?
Are you even there? Don't you dare make a sound.
(Mmm, don't you make a sound, baby!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep ignoring me, yeah, it's tearing me in two
(Tearing me in two!)
Keep ignoring me, baby, it's tearing me in two
I guess I’m crazy, I've been crazy... and it don't matter to you.
(Let the guitar cry!)
[Beat Drop: Heavy Blues Groove Kicks In]
[Chorus]
Let me sit on your lap, baby, can I sit on your lap?
You hold me so close, but you leave me in the trap!
Caress me so slow, kiss my neck in the dark
But you won't kiss my lips, won't give me the spark!
(Give me the spark, yeah!)
Sensation shooting through me, but something is amiss
Yeah, making me weak in the knees without a single kiss!
[Guitar Solo: Slow, wailing blues guitar bending high notes]
(Yeah... play it out! Mmm-hmm. Da-da-doo, da-da-dum!)
[Verse 2]
Why do I go back when you just push me away?
I say, why do I go back when you just push me away?
Over and over again, stuck in the exact same play.
You give me the physical, but you starve me of the rest
Leaving this heavy burden beating inside my chest!
(Beating so heavy, Lord!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep ignoring me, yeah, it's tearing me in two
(Tearing me in two, babe!)
Keep ignoring me, honey, it's tearing me in two
I guess I’m crazy, I've been crazy... and it don't matter to you.
(It just don't matter!)
[Chorus - Catchy Hook]
[Stripped back to just bass and snaps]
Let me sit on your lap, baby, can I sit on your lap?
You hold me so close, but you leave me in the trap!
[Full Force Blues Drop]
Caress me so slow, kiss my neck in the dark
But you won't kiss my lips, won't give me the spark!
(Give me the spark, baby!)
Sensation shooting through me, but something is amiss
Yeah, making me weak in the knees without a single kiss!
[Bridge]
(Oh, Lord, have mercy!)
I’m tired of the push, I’m tired of the pull
You leave me running on empty when I want to be full!
(I want to be full, yeah!)
Let me settle down, I gotta clear my head
Get your ghost out of my mind and out of my bed!
(Out of my bed, whoa-oh!)
[Chorus - Maximum Energy]
Let me sit on your lap, baby, can I sit on your lap?
(One more time!)
You hold me so close, but you leave me in the trap!
Caress me so slow, kiss my neck in the dark
But you won't kiss my lips, won't give me the spark!
Sensation shooting through me, but something is amiss
Yeah, making me weak in the knees without a single kiss!
[Outro]
Let me settle down.
(Settle down, settle down now)
I gotta get out of this place.
Stop the runaround.
(Fading guitar riff)
Don't you dare...
Yeah.
[Fade Out]
[End]
