baseline - Chelsea Lankes

Heat of the moment

Such a familiar feeling

Trying to be open

Scared you're not gonna hear me

I can be so hurtful when I'm hurting

But I don't really mean it I'm just learning

I know you love me

But sometimes I'm not so certain

Bring me back to the baseline

Bitter words never taste right

Tell me we're on the same side

That we're gonna be alright

Hate how well I say

I look good when I'm looking at what's not right

So bring me back to the baseline

I see how it matters

All of the ways I grew up

Stuck in a pattern

'Cause all of the love I knew was

People being hurtful when they're hurting

Giving up instead of really learning

I want to love you

So whenever it's not working

Bring me back to the baseline

Bitter words never taste right

Tell me we're on the same side

That we're gonna be alright

Hate how well I say

I look good when I'm looking at what's not right

So bring me back to the baseline

Huuu huuu

Bring me back to the baseline

Baby it's gonna take time

To see we're on the same side

That we're gonna be alright

Don't let it be the same

I look good keep on looking me in the eyes

And bring me back to the baseline
