lyrics

When I’m feelin’ lonely, it doesn’t rain it only pours
Sweepin' my whole word out to the sea

A stumble-up on seeded rage, it doesn’t spark it only roars
And it’s gonna burn, until the ocean breeze

But if you spend
Maybe you could, spend a little time
Cause you’ve got to --

Spend a little time
Spend a little time
Spend a little time on me, give a little time on --

When I’m surrounded, feeling scattered, and my anxiety’s aglow
It's gonna be all I can do to pretend (that the)

Moment doesn’t calcify, doesn’t drag me down like stones
Till I find my way back, all over again

But if you spend
I hope you, spend a little time
Cause you’ve got to --

Spend a little time
Spend a little time
Spend a little time on me, give little time on me

I get caught in my own under tow
At the mercy of the parts that show, cause when I
Give a little bit it all let’s go --

I play things fast when I don’t know, but
All my songs sound better slow, cause when I
Give a little bit it all let’s go

And I can be cool and calm and in control, and it’s
No big deal till there she blows, cause when I
Give a little bit it all lets go

But if you, spend
Spend, a little time, I hope you
Spend a little time
Spend a little time

Those first greetings, they don’t suit me
Gates are open, or they’re closed, but if you
Spend a little time on me

And my words may come out scrambled, but I’ve got
Something real to hold if you just
Spend a little time on me

I hope you spend
Oh won’t you, spend a little time?

You’ve got to
Spend a little time
Spend a little time
Spend a little time on me
Cause a little time's all we need
