Don't Just Love Me Cause You're Lonely
from I Am a Guest by Zac Clark
about
One morning somewhere in New York this summer as we all began to stir and get ready for another show, Allen Stone asked me how my night off had been. I said little other than relating the fact that a good friend and I had stumbled comically, tragically, over an attempt to tell each other that we loved each other, in one way or another. I seemed to remember the title's phrase being a part of the conversation. Allen's eyes lit up and we had to write the song. For the rest of the tour it came up in bits and pieces and in the course of some hazy days and nights in Silver Lake once the run was over, we finished it and it somehow made its way onto the album at the last minute despite its eleventh hour arrival.
lyrics
Swore I heard the rain start falling from down the street, just like you saw the storm in me. Now it's late night or early morning; either way it's pouring biblically, and you're every girl I've ever known when you turn to speak.
You said, "Don't just love me cause you're lonely. You could be my one and only. So if you're serious then show me; don't just love me cause you're lonely."
Should've felt the flames start flickering at my feet before you smelled the smoke on me. Now you're so close I can taste you- not a single sense could be deceived, and you're every girl I've ever known when you turn to speak.
You said, "Don't just love me cause you're lonely. You could be my one and only. So if you're serious then show me; don't just love me cause you're lonely."
Should've felt the flames start flickering at my feet before you smelled the smoke on me. Now you're so close I can taste you- not a single sense could be deceived, and you're every girl I've ever known when you turn to speak.
