Back & forth Lyrics by Jonny West

MOTEL CALIFORNIA

2022

[Verse One]
I'm not your friend anymore
So what you calling me up for the hundredth time like there’s something that I can say to make it okay for leaving me out?
Stop leading me on
If it's just to the door like every night before
I'd always let you finish a couple times figure that’s what I owe when your heart races so much
Doesn't feel like the first time
No you're new to this touch, but stick to sayin

[Chorus]
Give me time
Give me space
Hold me close
Where's the chase?
I can't keep going up that way if you keep slowing down our pace
It's always "here I am"
Then there you go
I could really use a friend and a little more
I can't keep up with the back and the forth when u happily leave
And maybe
Never come back at all

[Verse Two]
I don't wanna share too much
Cause then all of my friends will know you’re not perfect too and They’ll take me from you or
Worse see the truth that you were not
Who I held you to be
And I loved you then but also loved medicine
I cut one but kept the second and now both try to visit with a little more time
You think you'd change your position but just want us in positions without any opp

[Chorus]
So give me time
Give me space
Hold me close
Where’s the chase?
I can't keep going that out way if you keep slowing down our pace
It's always "here I am"
Then there you go
I could really use a friend and a little more
I can't keep up with the back and the forth when u happily leave
And maybe
Never come back at all

[Outro]
Never come back at all
Quit calling me
Honestly
Honestly
Don’t come back at all

Woman Speaking:
"It's not that I don't want to see you. I-I just don't want you to get your hopes up.. I think hanging out with each other is gonna do that
I don't know if I can meet you."
