lyrics

NUMB

Took a car across the world to see
if I could make it
Something's in my brain that I can't shake,
don't want to fake it
Semblance of an innocence,
I can't seem to forsake it
Practicalities undone, I just can't take it
I want it to be true

Keep a'thinking about this trip that I could be taking
Someone's thinking what have I been doing lately
Was a time when I could open up all to you
But that was then and now I am all unglued

But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you

Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter

Took a lot of feeling cause I don't want to be pretending
Heart is running empty, carefull of this I'm sending
And all those opened doors ignored, walked past, to get to you
Salty memories pour out like glitter glue

But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you

Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter

Help me please cause I can't see past the tragedy
Help me see if this is who I want to be
Help me know if I can do what you do
I can do what you do
and I'll see see see you later
and I'll Cc see you later

But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you

Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter

Help me please cause I can't see what's in front of me
Help me see if this is who I want to be
Help me know if I can do what you do
I concede what what you do
and I'll see see see you later
and I'll Cc see you later
and I'll see, see
See you later

about

Civil Wray Toronto, Ontario

After touring nationally and internationally including Germany, Turkey, Australia and the U.S. as blueVenus, Andrea decided it was time for a new approach. Collaborating with producer Chris Stringer (Timber Timbre, Holly Mcnarland, Jill Barber) Civil Wray offers an indie rock vibe, a twinge of country, and an infusion of Latin pop and soul that elevates her trademark smoky vocals. ... more
