Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you someone that I can give my heart to?
Or just the poison that I'm drawn to?
It can be hard to tell the difference late at night
Play fair, is that a compass in your nature?
Or are you tricky, 'cause I've been there
And baby, I don't need to learn my lesson twice
[PreChorus]
But if you really wanna go there
You should know I
[Chorus]
Need someone to hold me close, deeper than l've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable, he's straight-talking to my soul
Conversation overload
'Cause training season's over
[Verse 2]
I tried (I tried)
To see my lovers in a good light (Good light)
Don't wanna do it just to be nice (Be nice)
Don't wanna have to teach you how to love me right
[Verse 3]
I hope (It hits me like an)
Arrow (Someone with some)
Potential (Is it too much to)
Ask for
Who understands?
[Chorus]
I need someone to hold me close, deeper than l've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable, he's straight-talking to my soul
Conversation overload, got me feeling vertigo, hey (Are you somebody who can go there?)
'Cause I don't wanna have to show you
If that ain't you, then let me know, yeah ('Cause training season's over)
[Bridge]
Can you compete? Now is your time
Run when you hear that whistle blow
Are you on my team?
Or stuck on the sidelines waiting for someone to tell you to go?
For someone to tell you to go
You should know I
[Chorus]
Need someone to hold me close, deeper than l've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable, he's straight-talking to my soul
Conversation overload
'Cause training season's over
[Outro]
Training season, training season
Training season training season
Training season's over
