Backstory:
This song was born from another that Dana Pagane & I were working on. The first was a more playful, flirty idea she brought to the table. This spawned off of that one for me and I shared the melody I was hearing in my head and the lyrics with both Dana and Mark Burch. Once agreed upon, Mark went ahead and created/produced the music for the demo. We realized after the fact that a male version could easily exist with the tweak of a few words. I've included those below the initial lyrics but we are open to discuss ideas should a male artist be interested in recording it. I am singing on this recording.
Lyrics:
Can’t Love You For Too Long
V1
Lie down boy
Right next to me
No where else
I'd rather be
Then here with you
Between these sheets
Wrap me up
And set me free
CH
I’m all yours take me in
Cut me loose from where I’ve been
Love me like I’m all you see
I’ll love you like you’re all I need
And in the morning when you’re looking
And you come find me gone
Know I love you when I love you
I just can’t love you for too long
V2
I don’t want
To wonder why
You don’t pick up
The phone one night
Worry that
Your truths are lies
Lose myself
Again this time
CH REPEAT
BRIDGE
I don’t need your
Open heart or caring eyes
I don’t need your
Pick me up on Sunday drives
After all the heartbrea
All the scars and shattered lives
I do not need nothin’
But your arms round me tonight
CH REPEAT
OUT
Know I love you when I love you
I just can’t love you for too long
