(It's just about, like... uh, like just being there for each other) [Verse 1: Wyatt Counterman] She's got eyes that can drive you crazy And she's the reason that I've been smiling lately She's the reason I get up daily I'm just tryna keep it 10, 10 and 80 High worth like Goyard and Gucci She don't even need to go far to prove it She's so lux like Chanel or Prada She's the type of girl that ma would be proud of She's like 24-carat gold Being seen with her's like a miracle She don't even see it in the mirror though 1D, she don't know she beautiful She don't need no explanation She's so perfect and she's all I need [Hook: Wyatt Counterman] So I tell her come through I tell her come through If you could give just one shot to a boy like me All them other girls would be history Come through, come through, come through Yeah baby, come through, come through, come through [Verse 2: Mary Beth Arendash] Boy, I don't know what I'm getting in to I really should not be falling for you Give me some time, tell you what I'm gon' do Give me some time, baby I'mma come through [Hook: Wyatt Counterman & Mary Beth Arendash] [Verse 3: LZRS] Baby will you come through, come through? I'll always fight for you like it's kung-fu, kung-fu Hoppin' in the coupe, what'cha wanna do? We ain't gotta rush like a drive through Baby you're the soil in which my heart grew I see you smile it's a nice view Drop top we can roll Top notch, you're my gold Your smile's like ice, you make me like the cold Shines brighter than a lightning bolt Girl, if this is a dream then I never wanna wake up But it's better so I think I'm gonna stay up Now I'm saying baby come through [Hook: Wyatt Counterman & Mary Beth Arendash]

[Verse 1: Wyatt Counterman] Once upon a time I was your friend Til all the times we had came to an end When university stole you away And Michigan, well she told me to stay I can still remember Late night in December You were riding shotgun in my car Singing to that oldschool You knew all the words to Why'd you have to leave and go so far? You can't help me now [Verse 2: Wyatt Counterman] I cried wolf for days for you Waited so patient, yeah But you're never coming back And I need to cope with that You grew up right down the street Now you're so far from me And you took everything All but the memories (Chorus) [Bridge: Jacob Mitchell] So I keep fighting on, keep fighting on Until the battle's won, 'til the battle's won And as I'm falling down, I'm falling down I realize I need you now, I need you now 'Cause I can't hold myself up anymore With tear-stained eyes I lie down on the floor And start to wonder what I do this for I do it for you, I do it for you (Chorus: Wyatt Counterman)

[Verse 1] You were always down for me Even when nobody stuck around for me So now you see why I’m always tryna bring you ‘round with me And even though you were out of my league I never stopped tryna get you in the front seat You’re like magic, I don’t understand it But I’m so captured, feelin’ so trapped in Like ships on the water, girl you’re my captain You’ll never be a bother, you are my passion [Pre-Chorus] Girl we’re so close, two feet I’mma make sure you get whatever you need When you’re lost you can call on me I’mma be that rock, hold it down you’ll see, you’ll see And I, I’mma be faithful to you And I, I don’t want nothing but you [Chorus] I don’t want nothing but you Girl, this ain’t life without you I don’t want closure, girl this ain’t over You’re giving me heaven, it’s true [Verse 2: LZRS] You got my heart Cause I'm down for you From the start Even in the dark You light up my heart like Tony Stark Forget a spark, you're a whole damn thunderbolt If I'm a leprechaun, you're my pot of gold Ooooh, girl you got me loose 'Cause it's nothin' but you [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] Forget a spark, you're a whole damn thunderbolt You're a whole damn thunderbolt 'Cause it's nothin' but you 'Cause it's nothin' but you

[Wyatt Counterman] I try to fall asleep at night But I can't, you're in my head I always thought we'd say goodbye But you're still here, and so am I And you know it's true And you know I'm here for you Even when the night gets cold And you're all alone I'm here for you Even when you run so far I'll be your north star I'm here for you, here for you Even when you lose your faith And you can't see straight I'm here for you, here for you Even when you... Even when you... I'm here for you, here for you [Emily Alexandra] I like to think I'm doing fine But that's insane, you're in my brain Please, won't you stay another night Or just an hour, you can't leave now (Pre-Chorus: Wyatt Counterman) (Chorus: Both) [Wyatt Counterman] And you know you can count on me Even uncertainty It couldn't stand between us No, it couldn't stand between us When the going gets tough I'll be more than enough If you just put your trust all in me Just put your trust all in me (Chorus: Both)

[Kathryn Ellis] I think it’s crazy that you love me I think it’s crazy that you stayed I think it’s crazy that you hold me When I’m screaming at your face I think it’s crazy, crazy, crazy But I think that you’re the one I think it’s crazy, crazy, crazy But I guess I’m crazy in love [Wyatt Counterman] He was the shy type, didn’t really try type He was only worried ‘bout himself, that’s the highlight Then he met this brunette, and he started to lose it Thinking to himself, this is my queen, I cannot ruin it So he started chasing until they started dating This was like a movie, this was straight out of a daydream It’s like he had been waiting, she was so amazing Saying that I’ll never ever ever leave you baby (oh) And now he’s falling, falling, falling for the first time And these emotions are all swirling in his head And then they start to get close, they get serious And then she looks into his eyes and says… (Chorus: Kathryn Ellis) [LZRS] I think I’m crazy ‘cause I’m falling for you You say I don’t deserve you but I tell you you do No need to pretend like I’m a whole ‘nother dude I hate to say it, but your ex is a douche You deserve to be respected I’mma always respect you Girl I’m sorry if I seem so protective I’m just trying to protect you, oh Girl I’m saying you should know That I think you’re beautiful (Pre-Chorus: Wyatt Counterman) (Chorus: Kathryn Ellis)

[Verse 1: Wyatt Counterman] Rip me up, tear me down When I'm lost and when I'm found Cut me loose, call it quits Give up every part of this You tell me I'm complicated Then say that I keep you waiting Well maybe you're too impatient You're not ready for love, you're not ready for love You say it's not gonna happen Then kiss me, girl why you acting? Everything you do is backwards, well [Chorus: Wyatt Counterman] I see an angel, you see a best friend I see your heart, you see my trust fund Why can't you take me serious Why can't you take me serious Yeah, you kiss me like you love me Then you ghost me like you don't I don't know how to love you When you don't know what you want Take me serious Why can't you take me serious [Verse 2: Jacob Mitchell] Rip me up, tear me down When I'm lost and when I'm found Cut me loose, call it quits Give up every part of this But I won't be your slave no more I won't be your slave I won't be your slave no more Just give me a save [Chorus: Wyatt Counterman] [Outro: Jacob Mitchell] I won't be your slave no more I won't be your slave I won't be your slave no more Just give me a save

Vibe 02:46
You came around and changed my ways You came around and saved the day You made me happy with my life You built a home behind my walls Tore down my guard, you watched it fall I never wanna leave your side Because we vibe Yeah we vibe Don't you know we vibe? I built this castle for ya In Michigan, not California So we could be near Mom and Dad We can't forget the life we had You stuck it out when things were tough When we were feeling out of luck You made me with that I could be More like you and less like me I'm so much happier with you than I am alone You made me realize what it's really like to love someone I can't understand what I did without you in my life You're mine Because we vibe Yeah we vibe Don't you know we vibe? I'm so much happier with you than I am alone You made me realize what it's really like to love someone I can't understand what I did without you in my life You're mine

Red Bottoms 02:43
She shows up in red bottoms just so people know she's rich But she don't got no style, Abercrombie and that Fitch And she's even good with kids Mom and dad say "why'd you leave her?", she was acting like a bitch Oh no, she make me lose control And she was no good, so I let her go Now all of her friends keep they voices low When they talk about me Talkin' 'bout me I'm talkin' 'bout you Talkin' 'bout you Yeah, she'd always wanna play with me Yeah, she'd always wanna get in my head Yeah, she'd always make me feel so damn small So now I'm taking care of myself instead But I don't know why I cannot help it Thinking 'bout her, and how she's so selfish Making me wish that I had known better But when I feel down I remember that she still talks about me Talkin' 'bout me I'm talkin' 'bout you Talkin' 'bout you [Keyboard Solo] When they talk about me Talkin' 'bout me I'm talkin' 'bout you Talkin' 'bout you When they talk about me Talkin' 'bout me I'm talkin' 'bout you Talkin' 'bout you

[Wyatt Counterman] Sitting around this bonfire See her there sipping apple cider Wondering how I could get beside her But my game is so weak and tired [Emily Alexandra] See you drinking that craft beer Wishing you would come back here I can't move cause I'm so scared My dear, my dear [Both] I can't stand to be alone Sitting here all on my own You look so good I can't resist You're at the top of my wishlist When it gets cold and the skies are brighter I will be there when no one's beside ya Grab my hand and never look back Cause this week I'm falling for you Every day when you're feeling lonely You call me up and I'll be your homie Grab my hand and never look back Cause today I'm falling for you ¡No puedo manejarlo! [Wyatt Counterman] See you get up out of your seat Thinking this is a good time for us to meet I ask her if she comes here often She replies with a voice so softly [Emily Alexandra] No I don't but I'm glad I did Wasn't expecting any of this I'm into you, can't lie to you Would you like some apple cider too? [Pre-Chorus: Both] [Chorus: Both]

[Verse 1: Wyatt Counterman] I was feeling down and out before you came around You came around, oh You're the one who picks me up right off of the ground Off of the ground, oh I was feeling overwhelmed when all my sh*t hit the fan Sh*t hit the fan, yeah Babe, you light me up so I'mma give it right back Give it right back, yeah [Pre-Chorus: Sierra Anderson] I promise that when you're down You won't have to be alone I promise that when you're down No you won't be on your own [Chorus: Both] You ain't gotta worry no more Worry no more We can leave our cares at the door Who cares anymore And it's sad that no one gets it But I'll treat you like a princess And you ain't gotta worry no more [Verse 2: Wyatt Counterman] I told my baby "don't worry Because I got you on lock down" And if there's one thing that's certain It's that I'll always be around And you don't know what I think of you I think you're perfect and beautiful I'm always gonna be right here I'm always gonna be right here, baby [Chorus: Both]
