Tell Her
(Rhine, Precht)

Verse
Beyond obsessed, never settle for less
Expect I see your blessed face in every Rorschach test
God this is fucking intense, the feeling’s immense
I need to know you in a biblical sense

I feel a burning in my chest and it keeps me from rest
It’s pain that couldn’t be prevented by a bulletproof vest
I’m a mess, yes, no doubt I’m depressed
I got a letter to the editor it’s self-addressed

I’m so in love that it’s maddening, unfulfilled and it’s saddening
Can’t believe what is happening, what the fuck is happening?
Think happy things, I’m tormented, do you love me back?
Love is a light that can reflect or refract

I can’t maintain, it’s plain to see the state that I’m in
My head is spinning where I’m ending is where you begin
I’m trembling and I’m tense, my brain unhinges
If I can’t have you life is finished


Chorus
Tell her you love her
The answer doesn’t matter in the end
Tell her you love her
Or you’ll never sleep again


Verse
I’m so afraid to say I love you but this voice says I have to
So does Matthew, I have to try to have you
If you say no they say I’ll move on with my life
But you can’t say no when it’s feeling so right

First thought in the morning, last thought every night
And I can’t fall asleep so I take these thoughts and I write
I just fall deep between couch cushions, sinking
Up all fucking night thinking

About your yes, no, maybe, the dream of making it famous now seems so stupid and aimless
I’ve just been pointed by hatred
Now if we maybe made a baby my days wouldn’t be wasted
They could be painless. Save me, wild-haired lady

I’ve had your taste in my mouth when we’re playing pretend
That shit’s all in a skit but I don’t want it to end
My senses explode, we only know what we feel
You’re better than the girl of my dreams (beat drops) you’re real

Chorus

Bridge

Verse
Each and every night when we’re looking at stars
I would so like to tell you how beautiful you are
I’m flippin, thinking of kissing but you’re thinking of him
He’s missing such a vision but I’m listening in

He’s out of the game, but you’re scared you’re still lovin him
I feel I’ve laid my eyes on the ark of the covenant
Fuck it, your face I can’t cover it, lay waste to the place like bass my heart’s thunderin

Conviction’s contagious, you make me believe
Soulmate, please…
I so badly want you to want me
It haunts me. Love taunts me with false promises.
Oh, how easy being honest is.

Probably honesty’s been a policy not on me, I’d
Need a bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy
Now my drum beats even and heart beats an oddity
This is the birth of a harder me, so I’ll tell you. You’re it. This is grown man shit.

Chorus
