Maddie—are you out there?

Down by the river bend

I leave the bar past midnight

Pine smoke stuck in my hair

My phone’s dead in my pocket

My heart’s loud on the stairs

I sip fire from a bottle

Try to laugh like I’m tough

Every thrill fades into quiet

Still I can’t get enough

I need a love that hits harder

Than a rumor in a small town

Your voice rolls up the hillside

And my guard comes falling down

I want, I want, I want love

I want it deep, I want it rough

Moonshine burn, my hands go numb

Still it never feels like love

Maddie, sing it, make it true

Maddie, bend me into you

I want, I want, I want love

Maddie, make it feel like love

Main road hums under tires

Streetlights wash me pale

I push straight into the noise

Like that could make me well

Two rounds in, I’m restless

Three in, I’m hard to touch

Faces blur into a fever

Still I can’t get enough

They say you pull folks under

Like the river pulls a line

I hear you over the crowd-talk

And I swear you sound like mine

I want, I want, I want love

I want it deep, I want it rough

Moonshine burn, my hands go numb

Still it never feels like love

Maddie, sing it, make it true

Maddie, bend me into you

I want, I want, I want love

Maddie, make it feel like love

Maddie, I’m tired of pretending

That a buzz can hold me up

Say it sweet, say it cutting

Say my name and call my bluff

I step close to the water

And the night forgets to breathe

I want, I want, I want love

I want it deep, I want it rough

Moonshine burn, my hands go numb

Still it never feels like love

Maddie, sing it, make it true

Maddie, bend me into you

I want, I want, I want love

Maddie, make it feel like love
