Out Loud - Austin Collins

I wanna be your baby doll

You’re so innocent and small

I won’t fight you

At least not out loud

Crush my spirit in your nails

I know exactly how this feels

I won’t fight you

At least not out loud

I wanna call you from the bar

Ask you where my car keys are

You’ll dismiss me like you should

Say it’s all for my own good

And I won’t fight you

I won’t fight you no

‘Cause you’re like a ghost to me

Can’t be touched and can’t be seen

So I won’t even try

You held words as an excuse

To try and force me to refuse

I won’t fight you

At least not out loud

So hold me close and whisper too

All the things you’d like to do

Hold your hands and say your prayers

‘Cause you think someone will hear

But there’s no answer

There’s no answer

So hold me close and whisper too

All the things you’d like to do

Hold your hands and say your prayers

‘Cause you think someone will hear

But there’s no answer

There’s no answer

There’s no answer at least not out loud

At least not out loud

Got your questions, got your lines

And I listened every time

Got your mouth and mine’s in yours

Put my guns back in the drawer

‘Cause I know better

I should know better
