Song Bio

Love can sometimes be overpowering, that fear though comes from being afraid of being vulnerable and allowing the feeling to consume you.
Xenia croons about this feeling, set of by a gentle Sunday trumpet drifting away like an afterthought becoming a fully realised idea, allowing the song to crescendo into shuffling snares, booming bass, and hard drums, slowly simmering back to the afterthought, quietly drifting into that Sunday afternoon trumpet.


Lyrics:

Get you in doses
But I stay overdosing
Overdosing on your loving
Borderline comatose &
(tose &)

You could be poison
& I’ll still drink your potion
The energy, emotions
Set it all in motion

Can all that I want
Be all it can be
If all that I want is you
Don’t make me give you a reason x2

Harmonies

Take a chance x 5
take a stance
Take a chance
But it Only matters
if I’m automatic
so I need an answer
need the factors
need the password
Are you going under?
I’d hate to wonder
Stevie Wonder
Don’t do the most
don't do the most
