[Verse 1]
I know you can't help me now
And sometimes people change
I've been sick since you left town
We've gotta find a way to feel the same
[Chorus]
I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh, I know I wish you were my friend
[Verse 2]
I want you to know I think you're right
Though there's so much I've been going through
I'm still the boy you left for nights
And I don't wanna know what I should do
[Chorus]
I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Don't you go and leave me here, my friend
[Bridge]
Whoo
[Chorus]
I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh, I know I wish you were my friend
Dave’s Song was written by Max Kakacek & Julien Ehrlich.
Dave’s Song was produced by Jonathan Rado & Whitney.
Whitney released Dave’s Song on Fri Jun 03 2016.
Julien Erlich told Paste Magazine that Dave was the band’s eccentric, overweight neighbor:
Dave was probably 350 pounds and would come up to our apartment without a shirt on with a half-drank bottle of champagne… Do you know the Tupac ‘Thug Life’ tattoo? He has that same tattoo, but it says ‘Outlaw...
Ehrlich told Paste “["Dave’s Song”]’s the first song that we wrote, and it was more written as a joke.“ It is about their overweight neighbor, and the group also revealed Dave has no idea the song exists.
