Lyrics
I keep my wings strapped back
I maintain a restrained or controlled demeanor.
I keep my heart in a jar
I protect my emotions or vulnerability.
You ain’t ready for me
You are not prepared for what I bring or offer.
You say you’ll keep your catch,
You promise to keep what you've gained but with uncertainty.
Your fingers crossed in the dark
You maintain hope in the unknown.
You’re all just touch and go
Your interactions are fleeting and uncertain.
Don’t wanna be
I don't want to be ensnared or trapped.
Your traps they close too slow
Your schemes or plans take too much time.
I want your body on me.
I desire your physical presence close to me.
You can’t have me
You cannot possess or control me.
None of your shit from the bar
Rejecting materialistic or superficial advances from bars.
Nobody wants that package please
No one desires that undesirable package.

I only operate within established guidelines.
Yah, I only play by the book
Reiterating the commitment to follow established rules.
You won’t be ready
You will not be prepared for what's coming.
You ain’t ready for me
Reiterating that you are not ready for me.
How could I ever want to leave you behind?

Love me, Love me, Love me, Love me, Love me
Repeated plea for love.
I need, I need, I need, I need your love
