The Covenant

about

[Verse 1]
I'm never sure and I'm never certain
You're what's hiding behind the third curtain
Cut to the host with the toothy whites grinning
You are the game that I'm never winning
Yeah I'm trying to let go
Riding with eyes closed
No grip on the handle
They can say it's bad for my health
But it's not catching I keep you to myself boy

Yeah one of these mornings
You're gonna realize she's so boring
That's when you'll look down from your window
I'll be right there yelling out let's go

[Prechorus]
Why am I so caught up in the wrong one?
Watching the phone, waiting by my lonesome

All I want is you, and I want you to need me like I need you
Wish I ain't need you like I do, but I still do

[Chorus]
I will never love alone again
My heart is like a bullet shell
I could live alone in heaven
But i'd rather have you in hell

[Verse 2]
Call this a last ditch, call me restless
I want your ring hanging from my necklace
I want you bad and I'm never gonna quit it
You want me too now it's time to admit it

Yeah i see right through your act boy
You're my prey I'm planting the decoy
One a these days you'll fall for my trap
And next thing you know
Your heart's in my hand

[Prechorus]
Why am I so caught up in the wrong one?
Watching the phone, waiting by my lonesome

All I want is you, and I want you to need me like I need you
Wish I ain't need you like I do, but I still do

[Outro]
Baby think about it give it a shot
She ain't got what I got
Open your eyes to what you coulda lost
I won't be waiting around forever you see
Next time you turn around you'll be missing me
Matter fact you'll be wishing we were a We

....

hey yeah

M&O image

M&O Chicago, Illinois

In an era dominated by manufactured noise, M&O fka Milo & Otis have carved out a musical haven for listeners seeking an authentic respite. Jamila Woods (“Milo”—vocals, loop pedal, poetry) and Owen Hill (“Otis” — bass guitar, imagination, production) are the two behind this earthy sound, which harks back to the heyday of R&B with a blend of what can only be labeled “Adventure Soul.” ... more
