Someone New
Banks Lyrics

I can love you desperately, though your love ain't guaranteed
Oh, I wish you knew the deal, gotta learn from far away
And I simply needed space
Space for me to be, and I think you need it too
Though I know you call me selfish for assuming
I did this for you too,
You still got me around your finger
Even though I'm far away
Please, believe me when I say!

Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make,
I only make for you!
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you

Oh, you say you hate me now,
And you burn me with your words
Callin' me a fool
Saying that I've fucked up
Everything, and you'll never forgive me
Though I'm doin' this for you
Baby, can't you see if there is such a thing
Of loving someone so much that you need
To give them time to let them breathe
But you don't understand,
I wish you understood
Oh, I hope one day you do

Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make,
I only make for you
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you

Believe in you, believe in me
We're meant to be together
I told you weren't lyin', I know you aren't relyin'
And now I am supplyin' you the time and space
To let you grow into the person
That I know, that I know you could be
And I can be one too
And I'll come back to you,
And I am ready for you, baby I am ready for you now
I'm not ready for you now
Please don't hate me

Everything I do,
I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make, I'm gonna make for you!
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise, one day I'll come back for you

I promise, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day, I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day, I'll come back to you

She releases music under Harvest Records, Good Year Recordings, and Iamsound Records. She toured internationally with The Weeknd and was also nominated for the Sound of 2014 award by the BBC and an MTV Brand New Nominee in 2014. On May 3rd, 2014, Banks was labeled as an 'Artist To Watch' by Fox Weekly.

Banks started writing songs at the age of 15. She taught herself piano when she received a keyboard from a friend to help her through her parents' divorce. She says she "felt very alone and helpless. I didn't know how to express what I was feeling or who to talk to." Drawing from inspirations like Fiona Apple and Lauryn Hill, Banks focuses on the duality of soulful earthly emotion and ethereal atmospheric sounds. After reaching a large number of listeners on her Soundcloud page, she began working with the label Good Years. Her first official single, called Before I Ever Met You was released in February 2013.
