old school rand b with bits of alternative flare, and clever lyrics. Real instruments, real musicians, it's the music.
Story behind the song
Have you ever wanted to be with someone so badly and you would do anything for them but you just weren't what they wanted? That's what this is about.
Lyrics
Maybe if I was taller,
maybe a better lover,
maybe it seems obscene,
I saw us happy together once in a dream,
Maybe if I was meaner,
it seems you prefer a dictator,
I've been lost in this craze,
thinking my feelings for you were just a haze
I'd lay down my guard for you.
I would crawl on my hands through glass for you.
I would pack up my things and leave with you.
I'd even take off my clothes and dance for you.
I'd walk through burning coal for you.
I would steal, I would kill someone for you.
I'd carve your name in my skin for you and I know
it's insane but I'd do anything for you.
Maybe in our next lifetime,
I'll be the next one in line
to get a piece of you
I will have waited my turn and paid my dues.
Maybe I won't want you then.
Maybe you'll want me in the end.
Maybe it's just not fate.
Maybe you'll wanna be with me when it's too late.
I'd lay down my guard for you.
I would crawl on my hands through glass for you.
I would pack up my things and leave with you.
I'd even take off my clothes and dance for you.
I'd walk through burning coal for you.
I would steal, I would kill someone for you.
I'd carve your name in my skin for you and I know
it's insane but I'd do anything for you.
I could be a nurse for you.
I could be a student too.
Walk through burning coal?
I'm an actor I could play a role.
I could be a foreign maid.
I could be your everything.
I could be a dirty cop.
I can make your insides pop.
I could be the hottest scene.
Baby, I could be your beauty queen.
Any game, any theme, any scene, anything for you.
I would crawl on my hands through glass for you.
I would pack up my things and leave with you.
I'd even take off my clothes and dance for you.
I'd walk through burning coal for you.
I would steal, I would kill someone for you.
I'd carve your name in my skin for you and I know
it's insane but I'd do anything for you.
