Don’t You Lyrics
[Chorus]
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Want someone there to save you?
Save me if I end up in the news
Bail me out if I start acting crazy
[Verse 1]
Why would we give up on what we have?
You'll always remain my other half
Partially thinking 'bout other pasts, oh
That's Dave on guitar, that's Grant on the beat, hey
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why do we go off the rails?
It's like you taking the wind out my sails
Got me losing my focus for real, like this
Here we go all day, here we go all day, here we go all day-ay-ay
[Chorus]
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Want someone there to save you?
Save me if I end up in the news
Bail me out if I start acting crazy
[Verse 2]
Riding in our city through that sunshine like we promised
Pull out my old CD and we bumping Jack Johnson
She loves all this trouble, takes the bullet like a vest, oh
I swear it's addictive 'cause I say it with my chest out
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm losing my patience
Swear she's dating someone famous
That's why we're on good relations
Here we go all day, here we go all day, here we go all day-ay-ay
[Chorus]
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Want someone there to save you?
Save me if I end up in the news
Bail me out if I start acting crazy
[Bridge]
You're all I need and it's hard to imagine anyone else
Sometimes I take you for granted, oh, that I'll admit
I know we're crazy, but I can't imagine anything else
Swear that you have my words, I'm never gonna quit
[Chorus]
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Want someone there to save you?
Save me if I end up in the news
Bail me out if I start acting crazy
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Want someone there to save you?
Save me if I end up in the news
Bail me out if I start acting crazy
[Outro]
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you, don't you, don't you

What did Quinn XCII say about "Don't You"?
In his Track by Track interview, Quinn XCII explained:
“Don’t You” is kind of a more random song to put in the album. […] I think it’s like a fun, youthful song about these two people doing [wild, crazy and careless stuff] but [they] still have this […] close relationship.
What inspired "Don't You"?
Quinn XCII stated:
A lot of thought didn’t really go into that. It was more like I wanted to make something that was really chill and […] had really cool groovy-like guitar aspects to it. [Something] similar to […] a Jack Johnson record. […] Just a little different than what fans know me for doing....
