Speak Low - Lorena Favot & Gaetano Valli

Half asleep on the couch in your basement, there's a combination of things keeping me awake Cause I know in the room adjacent, you lie beside the lease you signed and not the man you thought you'd find No, there's no convincing you - I should've never came, your mind's already made There's no convincing you. I don't know what I thought I'd get, but I know I didn't get it I didn't have the money but I swallowed the toll, and you don't seem to mind I couldn't spit it out so you swallowed me whole, and you don't seem to mind I placed a carefully crafted handwritten letter in your laundry basket On top of dirty clothes I came clean, juxtaposed, and said to you everything you'd already known Like, "I'm sick of the time zones and taking the train. You're wearing me out, you're wearing me out There's no room in Logan Square, or evidently anywhere. You tore us apart. You tore us apart." I didn't have the money but I swallowed the toll, and you don't seem to mind I couldn't spit it out so you swallowed me whole, and you don't seem to mind

Floating in a cozy state of suspension I thought I'd find you here You felt the air between us was unclear Without a word, tongue in a bind I was not prepared to speak my mind Speak my mind The dust settles in time Oh, enough is good enough, For what we're holding onto I'll wait For another rush of blood I'm filled up, Like enough is good enough For another rush of blood If only our past tense would speak in simple rhymes The stones we left unturned, Would finally roll aside They would be few I'm digging in the soil to uncover you Find a place to ease your mind Amongst the seeds, that we both knew would never bloom Oh, enough is good enough, For what we're holding onto I'll wait For another rush of blood I'm filled up An air of fear A fragile trust A sour taste, A faulty touch You will find me, But you won't find love And you won't find love Oh, enough is good enough, For what we're holding onto I'll wait, For another rush of blood I'm filled up, Like enough is good enough For another rush of blood For what we're holding onto For another rush of blood Filled up, Like enough is good enough For another rush of

I remember those nights, the lonely sound of the service drive I remember those times I thought that I could make you mine Your dark hair and your coffee eyes I wanted to fix you, but you didn't want to fight Your heart was sad, but so was mine Your heart was a stubborn slope that I couldn't climb Every night we'd say goodbye, you'd shut the door with a sigh You kept saying we didn't have much time It's all your fault, and I'll always blame you I dreamt a life for us and it could've come true But you packed all your things and said that "we're through Because you ruined me and I ruined you." We were library lovers where no one could see Midnight diners always in secrecy Moonlit drives to your front door You wanted my attention but nothing more I couldn't break it off, I had no guts Because you were one of my few great loves Now you changed the locks and moved on out You had abandoned your love for doubt It's all your fault, and I'll always blame you I dreamt a life for us and it could've come true But you packed all your things and said that "we're through Because you ruined me and I ruined you."

You ruined all my favorite bands Every time I sing along I always see your hands That perfect skin against my sweaty palms And your face of discontent always made me feel so small You abused all my favorite books I know you never read half the ones you took Still all the pages are torn and frayed Memorized the underlined hoping to impress me But it won't work I'm not that naive No, we won't work You just don't get me
