Wind Me Up

Music and Lyrics by Nate Hegyi

I heard you think I hate you and you wonder why I do
you come to my friends with a frown and say “pity me I’m the fool”
days getting shorter, we’re getting older
but still you wonder why

All I wanted from you was a version of the truth
but you held back, wrapped legs, and screwed out your blues
days getting shorter, we’re getting older
and this how it ends…

Wind me up
take me out driving
hold me close
look into my eyes
don’t make it slow
don’t make it easy
let it hurt
let me down hard, girl

You owe me $3.50 for that tonic and gin
you owe me five bucks for letting you in free to my shows
and I don’t want you around my bars anymore
but still you wonder why

Here it is you’re a little girl that’s what I’ve chalked you up to
“Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” was a tribute to you
you can put strawberries in your hair at night
but this is how it ends…

Wind me up
take me out driving
hold me close
look into my eyes
don’t make it slow
don’t make it easy
let it hurt
let me down hard, girl
