Temperance Lyrics by J. Rosa

2024

[Chorus]

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

And I been, wanting to stay
Wanting to stay
Yeah, I been wanting to stay
Wanting to stay
And I been wanting to stay
In just complacent comfort

[Verse 1]

Passing all the stop signs
Afraid to give myself away, so in the meantime
When I'm confused I look you right in the eye
If you love me blink twice
See I could swim between those thighs and find my purpose
But I know it's worthless
Can't convince another that I'm worth it
I'd be better off speaking in tongues to the serpent
Better off gay trying to believe in christ up in these churches
And I’m duck diving and weaving
Ain't no sense in believing
If you don't
And it feels like universe playing a bad joke
Just let the laugh track run
We’ve only just begun
Pretend there ain't a rush
The moment that we touch
Admire from a distance
But distance makes the heart grow fonder so I'm rambling onward
Hoping the penny in my wishing well will wish me well
I wanna know so bad but we just cannot kiss and tell
See I was fallin for it seems I even knew I fell
See I was fallin for it seems I even knew I fell
Who knew I fell

[Chorus]

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

[Verse 2]

Waiting for my prom queen, in shining armor to arrive
I dreamt about a sash wrapped around me since I was 9
Flip the tarot round and you will find
The moon will always shine light on what is hiding inside
What if you’re just hiding from yourself?
Just settling for the cards you been dealt
Won't be the one who swings a punch below the belt
But you admitted once yourself
You know how you’ve really felt
You know how you’ve really felt
Can't you just spot the difference?
It’s fate, it’s significance
Some kind of deliverance
Life stranger than fictitious
Decided Im just giving it back to the earth
And hope the seeds root deep and out a tree will spurt
Bearing the fruit of all the hard lessons we’ve learned
Strong and ready to receive real love we deserve
Because after the rain
Only rainbows grow

[Chorus]

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

And I been running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
And I been, running away, running away
From the love that I deserve

And I been, wanting to stay
Wanting to stay
Yeah, I been wanting to stay
Wanting to stay
And I been wanting to stay
In just complacent comfort
