lyrics
You don't need to fight back when you're exposed
The damage done is at its worse when you shut down
Honey, are you listening?
Your heart don't need the wall of stone
Honey, are you listening?
You can't get in when you are on your own
I know little about the things you choose to ignore
But I'm sussing them out to show their tenuous hold
Honey, are you listening?
They look so weak in the light
Honey, are you listening?
They won't let go without a fight
Chorus
If you were better off with me leaving
In an instant I'd be gone
But tonight I fear that you should not be alone
If the best I can do is love you
Let you lean to hold you up
Would you let me help you back where you belong
I'm not sure how you got under my skin
But there's one thing I know for certain
There's a warmth that wasn't there before you came
Honey, are you listening I'll take the good with the bad
Honey, are you listening I'll take that which drives you mad
Chorus
The damage done is at its worse when you shut down
Honey, are you listening?
Your heart don't need the wall of stone
Honey, are you listening?
You can't get in when you are on your own
I know little about the things you choose to ignore
But I'm sussing them out to show their tenuous hold
Honey, are you listening?
They look so weak in the light
Honey, are you listening?
They won't let go without a fight
Chorus
If you were better off with me leaving
In an instant I'd be gone
But tonight I fear that you should not be alone
If the best I can do is love you
Let you lean to hold you up
Would you let me help you back where you belong
I'm not sure how you got under my skin
But there's one thing I know for certain
There's a warmth that wasn't there before you came
Honey, are you listening I'll take the good with the bad
Honey, are you listening I'll take that which drives you mad
Chorus

about
Mr. Kind Oakland, California
Since its inaugural release, OK, Mr. Kind has departed from rough-around-the-edges garage folk rock to the dense electronic leanings of their second EP, Mr. Kind. The band was originally formed to perform the recorded solo material of lead singer-songwriter Brian Bergeron, but Wide Awake | Open Eyes represents each band members’ continually expanding involvement in the songwriting process. ... more
