The Things That Make You

"The Things That Make You"
2011

In life there is a place
That most don't wish to see
But friend it's what I have to face
And where I'll always be
So you can fight your craving
It's a spot I deserve
So quell your thoughts of saving
You'd do better to preserve
The things that make you
Mean so much to me
These things should take you
To where you need to be
'Cause you've held me up here
For too long in my view
And these are the things
That make you too good to be true
In life there is a place
Where I spend most of my days
But there's still a pretty face
That earns all of my praise
So you can hide your envy
But still I'll make her mine
'Cause she'll lovingly defend me
From things inside my mind
Oh girl, these things that make you
Mean so much to me
These things should take you
To where you need to be
'Cause you've held me up here
For too long in my view
And these are the things
That make you too good to be true
Being difficult,
Comes so easily
But it's your touch,
That brings an ease to me
So you can tell your friends
And you can say it loud
I'm a fool for you
And that was stated proud
In life there is a place
Where I'd die to be
And it's made a sacred space
By you laying next to me
So you can rest your head
And you can close your eyes
I'll move my tongue instead
And help you kiss the skies
Oh girl, these things that make you
Mean so much to me
These things should take you
To where you need to be
'Cause you've held me up here
For too long in my view
And these are the things
That make you too good to be true
Oh girl, these things that make you
Taste divine to me
Oh, these hands would break through
Concrete just to see
If you loved the things
That this man could do
'Cause baby those are the things
That make you too good to be true
