Relate to You

Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #singersongwriter #folk
I wanted to write a song of endearment from the perspective of someone who is asexual and aromantic, so I picked one of my characters from the novel I've been quietly working on for the last few years and wrote from his perspective. :)
Lyrics
I’m rather shy
I’m not known for my gregariousness
I’m not like him
You’re not like them
Your wild eyes
You can’t be tamed by sensibilities
You’re on my nerves
You haven’t heard a word I’ve said
But I need a friend
You haven’t left me yet
I’m scared to let you in
But it might be worth the risk
Say, say that you’ll stay
I will get out of your way
I will try harder to relate to you
You’re starting fires
It’s getting harder to put them out
But I can fan the flames
I can give you space to be yourself
‘Cause I need a friend
You haven’t left me yet
I’m learning to bend
I’m getting used to your presence
Say, say that you’ll stay
I will get out of your way
I will try harder to relate to you
Stay, I won’t run away
I will start running to chase you back
I’m trying harder to relay the truth
I’m rather shy
Always had trouble trying to speak my mind
You hear me out
You soothe my doubts
Say, say that you’ll stay
I will get out of your way
I will try harder to relate to you
I will try harder to relate to you
I will try harder to relate to you
