Across The Sheets Album Lyrics by Brett Young

Dance With You

When you need a hand
When you need a shoulder
When you need your space, or
For me to pull you closer
I can be your sunshine on rainy days
I can wipe your tears away, just

Pick out a song, I can hold you to
Go on, let down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
And if that's the truth
I only wanna dance with you

When the days are easy
When the nights get long
I can be your strength when
You ain't feelin' strong
Close your eyes and don't forget to breathe
And just, follow my lead

And we can, pick out a song, I can hold you to
Go on, let down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
And if that's the truth
I only wanna dance with you
I only wanna dance with you

We only get so many moments
It will all be gone before we know it

So, pick out a song, I can hold you to
Go on, let down your hair
Baby, kick off your shoes
They say, "Life's a dance"
And if that's the truth
I only wanna dance
I only wanna dance
I only wanna dance, with you

Only wanna dance with you
With you

Let Go Too Soon

Do you ever think about me
And miss the way I looked at you?
And do you ever reach across the sheets
For me like you used to?
Do you ever wake up lonely
And you just can't leave the room?
Do you ever wonder the way I wonder
If we let go, did we let go?

I've been going out with friends
I've been drinking too much whiskey
Burning candles at both ends
But nothing seems to fix me
'Cause no matter what I do
I still wake up missing you
Do you do that too?
Did we let go, did we let go
Did we let go too soon?

Do you live in New York City
Or did you move to Newport Beach?
Do you compare every guy
That you meet to me?
Do you ever feel broken?
Do you ever feel lost?
Baby, is this really over
Or did we just let it stop?

'Cause I've been going out with friends
I've been drinking too much whiskey
Burning candles at both ends
But nothing seems to fix me
'Cause no matter what I do
I still wake up missing you
Do you do that too?
Did we let go, did we let go
Did we let go too soon?

Yeah-yeah

All that I can think about is
What would happen if you stayed?
And all I need to know right now is
Do you ever feel the same?

'Cause I've been going out with friends
I've been drinking too much whiskey
Burning candles at both ends
But nothing seems to fix me
'Cause no matter what I do
I still wake up missing you
Do you do that too?
Did we let go, did we let go
Did we let go too soon?

Did we let go too soon? Oh, mm

Back To Jesus

I found grace, when she forgave me when she shouldn't
I learned faith, every time she shoulda left me
But she stayed, now every time I hit my knees at night
I pray and give thanks

Sometimes miracles are more than making wine from water
Sometimes angels come to earth as sisters, mothers, daughters
I don't know how but somehow she loves me the way that He does
Yeah she loved, loved, loved this sinner back to Jesus

I learned peace, the first time she refused to fight with me
She whispered and she made this blind man see, now I believe, yeah

Sometimes miracles are more than making wine from water
Sometimes angels come to earth as sisters, mothers, daughters
I don't know how but somehow she loves me the way that He does
She loved, loved, loved this sinner back to Jesus
This sinner back to Jesus, yeah

An answer to a prayer I never prayed
Now somehow I have everything I never even knew I wanted
Yeah, she's an answer to a prayer I never prayed
Now somehow I have everything I never even knew I wanted

Sometimes miracles are more than making wine from water
Sometimes angels come to earth as sisters, mothers, daughters
I don't know how but somehow she loves me the way that He does
Yeah, she loved, loved, loved
Yeah, she loved, loved this sinner back to Jesus, back to Jesus, yeah
This sinner back to Jesus

Amen, amen
Amen, amen

Uncomfortable

You still make me nervous when you walk into a room
Looking like that, yeah
Sundress off your shoulder got my heart hitting my t-shirt so fast
Reminding me of the past

The way the chills go up and down my spine every time
Just like they did first time

You still make me stop, you still make me stare
You still bring me coffee in your underwear
You know it makes me crazy, you know that I don't care
Somehow the way you love me still shakes me
And makes me uncomfortable

You turn off the TV when you reach across the sheets in the dark, mm
Forever in the rearview, but one look still brings me back to the start
Where you stole my heart, yeah

The way the chills go up and down my spine every time
Just like they did first time

You still make me stop, you still make me stare
You still bring me coffee in your underwear
You know it makes me crazy, you know that I don't care
Somehow the way you love me still shakes me
And makes me uncomfortable

Oh, you get to me
You're meant for me
You're still making me uncomfortable

You still make me stop, you still make me stare
You still bring me coffee in your underwear
You know it makes me crazy, you know that I don't care
Somehow the way you love me (love me) still shakes me (shakes me)
And makes me uncomfortable
Uncomfortable
I hope you always make me uncomfortable
Somehow the way you love me still shakes me
And makes me uncomfortable

Love Goes On

We were fifteen, you sat right next to me
We shared a textbook on Chemistry
You were my first so it's no surprise that you got the best of me
But what's perspective everyone's reckless when they're just fifteen
I never thought the we'd be

Seventeen, and you got your hands on me
Begging me to give you a reason to stay
Yeah, I was so naive, watching while you turned to leave
Didn't think a heart could heal after it breaks

But love goes on, the pages turn
Into songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on
Love goes on

I had my doubts, I was hard to get to when I first met you
That night in Ball town
I was defensive, but you were relentless in breaking my guard down
You asked me who broke it, stole some emotions
Well, I'd have to recount
I never thought that I'd bring

Seventeen all the way to you and me
Thinking history repeats and you'd never stay
You said, "You're so naive, thinking I could ever leave
Don't you know a heart can heal after it breaks"

And love goes on, pages turn
Into songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on
Love goes on

Yeah-yeah
When it's here and then it's gone
Yeah-yeah
And you think you've lost the one
Yeah-yeah
Ah, when all is said and done
Yeah-yeah- yeah

Love goes on, the pages turn
Into songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on
Love goes on, the pages turn
Into songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it here, and then it's gone
But it's okay, yeah, love goes on
Love goes on
Love goes on
Love goes on

I Did This To Me

I've never been so selfish, reckless, helpless
It's all my fault
I was full of all these useless excuses
Abusing the love I lose
I never thought you'd be my greatest mistake
Or that mine would be the heart I'd break

I pushed you away when you needed me
You wanted to talk, I wanted to drink
Only told you I loved you when you said it to me
Now I'm here at home all alone with you memory
I got what I wanted, I did this to me

If I'm being honest
I promise, I thought this would work itself out
Oh, if I had gotten over myself I wouldn't be getting over you now
No

I pushed you away when you needed me
You wanted to talk, I wanted to drink
Only told you I loved you when you said it to me
Now I'm here at home all alone with you memory
I got what I wanted, I did this to me

I wish I said I loved you
Enough to make you feel it (oh)
I wish I would have held you
I wish you could believe it
I wish I said I loved you
Enough to make you feel it (oh)
I wish I would have held you
I wish you could believe it

I pushed you away when you needed me
You wanted to talk, I wanted to drink
Only told you I loved you when you said it to me
Now I'm here at home all alone with you memory
I got what I wanted, I did this to me, oh

I did this to me
Oh, oh-oh
I did this to me, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh

You Aint Here to Kiss Me (2022)

Home for seven days and I haven't even seen your face
I guess I've got a flight to change
There ain't nothin' left to say
If you really don't have it figured out by now
There's no need for me to hang around
I've gotta get out of town

Five-dollar drink and a lonely window seat
Half-empty plane on New Year's Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me are driving me crazy
The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here to kiss me
No, you ain't here to kiss me

Raise a toast to the thought of you and me
This was just the way it had to be
90 proof to give me clarity
The flight attendant must know that something's going on
Can't hide the look of love gone wrong
So she's pouring them a little strong

Five-dollar drink and a lonely window seat
Half-empty plane on New Year's Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me are driving me crazy
The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here to kiss me
No, you ain't here to kiss me
No

At least we had a chance to know how it feels to love
But it turns out love ain't always enough
So, I'll start getting over you

With another five-dollar drink and a lonely window seat
Half-empty plane on New Year's Eve
Love birds in the row in front of me just like we used to be
The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone
Five, four, three, two, one
Looks like it's just me and the whiskey
'Cause you ain't here to kiss me
No, no
You ain't here to kiss me
No, no, no, no
Oh, oh
You ain't here to kiss me

Don't Take The Girl

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old

A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said, "We can't leave her behind"
"Son, I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind"
And Johnny said
"Take Jimmy Johnson
Take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please, don't take the girl"

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said, "If you do what I tell you to
There won't be any harm"
And Johnny said, "Take my money
Take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my Grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please, don't take the girl"

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
Says, "It's time to go"
Doctor says, "The baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his mama's fading fast" and
Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
"Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God please, don't take the girl"

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
