[Verse 1]
And it seems you wanna have me
No matter where I go
There's a future I can't know
And how should I know?
How? How? How? How?
[Verse 2]
Now it seems you wanna love me
Add a future facing down
Add a fall, it's coming 'round
And where will I go?
How? How? How? How?
[Chorus]
And you're telling me I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
[Verse 3]
I could blow those fucking windows out
Leave them dragging down the road
Your affliction isn't mine to hold
And how should I know how to?
How? How? How? How?
[Chorus]
And you're telling mе I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happеning again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Don't you deal me no favors
Don't you sell me no line
I'll call you back when I'm sober
Oh, at some other time
Hear the lightning inside you
But it's never alright
And I'm no winner
I'm no winner
I'm no winner
I'm no winner
Lazy and strong
I've been away too long
[Chorus]
And you're telling me I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
[Instrumental Outro]
Devotion was written by Jessica Staveley-Taylor & Emily Staveley-Taylor & Camilla Staveley-Taylor.
Devotion was produced by John Congleton.
The Staves released Devotion on Thu Jan 21 2021.
This song came from a feeling of being totally at the mercy of someone else. Being a passenger and never a driver in any situation. Being blinded by devotion and unable to navigate the way out.
