Don't
Tanner Townsend Lyrics

I met this girl late last year
He met a girl some time ago.

She said "don't you worry if I disappear"
The girl initially gave him an open invitation.

I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake
He expressed caution in starting another relationship.

I called an old friend
He contacted someone he previously knew.

Thinking that the trouble would wait
He believed that the issues could be put on hold.

But then I jumped right in
He eventually took the risk and got involved with the girl.

A week later returned
He came back to see the girl after a short period of time.

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
He thought that the girl was only interested in using him.

But I gave her my time for 2 or 3 nights
He spent some time with the girl, though not too much.

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
He momentarily stopped pursuing a relationship with her.

I went away for months
He left for a significant amount of time.

Until our paths crossed again
They eventually met once more.

She told me I was never looking for a friend
The girl questioned his intentions with her.

Maybe you can swing round my room about 10
She invited him to her room.

Baby bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
She asked him to bring some alcohol.

We'll be in between the sheets till the late AM
She wanted to have sex with him.

Baby if you wanted me you should have just said
She suggested that he should have been more direct with her.

Don't with my love
She is warning him not to mess with her feelings.

That heart is so cold
She thinks that he is insensitive.

All over my home
She feels like he has left his mark all over her life.

I don't want to know that babe
She does not want further involvement with him.

I told her she knows
He acknowledges that she has expressed herself before.

Take aim and re load
He suggests getting ready for more heartache.

And for a couple weeks I only want to see her
He expresses his desire to spend more time with her.

We drink away the days with a take away pizza
They enjoy each other's company casually.

Before a text message was the only way to reach her
They used to communicate only through texts.

Now she staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
She is now more serious with him and likes how he treats her.

Singing out Aretha all over the track like a feature
She is singing and dancing with joy.

And never wants to sleep I guess that I don't want to either
They are both so in love that they never want to sleep.

But me and her make money the same way
They share a common profession.

4 cities 2 planes the same day
They both lead very hectic lives.

And those shows have never been what it's about
Their work has always been separate from their relationship.

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
They are considering working together.

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch
He prefers quiet nights in with her.

But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
They need to get going soon or else they will miss something important.

Wish I'd have written it out the way things played out
He regrets not documenting their relationship better.

When she was kissing him how I was confused about
He was confused by her actions with another man.

She should figure it out
He thinks that she should work out her own feelings.

On my hotel door
Someone is knocking on his hotel room door.

I don't even know if she knows what for
He is unsure why the girl is there.

She was crying on my shoulder I already told you
She is seeking comfort from him.

Trust and respect is what we do this for
They have built their relationship on these characteristics.

I never intended to be next
He did not initially have intentions of getting involved with her.

But you didn't need to take him to bed
He is expressing his hurt at her sleeping with another man.

And I never saw him as a threat
He had never considered the other man to be a romantic rival.

Until you disappeared with him to have sex of course
He only saw him as a threat once they slept together.

It's not like we were both on tour
He is emphasizing that they were not in the same place at the time.

We were staying on the same fu hotel floor
They were both in the same hotel at the time.

And I wasn't looking for a promise to commitment
He was not ready to make any promises at that point in their relationship.

But it was never just fun and I thought you were different
He thought that their relationship was deeper than just casual fun.

This is not the way you realise what you wanted
He is disappointed that things have turned out this way.

It's a bit too much too late if I'm honest
He thinks that it is too late for them to fix things.
