Straight to My Head Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You go straight to my head
Make yourself at home there
'Cause you're going nowhere
Like what you've done with
The place I lay my bones
Where you are, I call home
Strength in numbers, I heard
I count two of us
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be, wanna be where you are
Wanna feel, wanna feel twenty-one
Going straight to my head like you used to
Wouldn’t change anything that we’ve been through
[Shortened Chorus]
I wanna be where you are, I wanna be where you are
Straight to my head, straight to my
Going straight to my head, going straight to my head
[Verse 2]
Taking this to the edge
Summers that we spent
On opposite ends
Of blue messages
A screenshot of youth
Tequila infused
Battle ground for the truth
Where we found me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be, wanna be where you are
Wanna feel, wanna feel twenty-one
Going straight to my head like you used to
Wouldn’t change anything that we’ve been through
[Chorus]
I wanna be where you are, I wanna be where you are
Straight to my head, straight to my
Going straight to my head, going straight to my head
I'll tap the brakes if you want to
Set a pace that we can move to
Signs of turbulence in the distance
Wouldn't know where to start to replace this
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I wanna be there
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I wanna be there
[Chorus]
I wanna be where you are, I wanna be where you are
Straight to my head, straight to my
Going straight to my head, going straight to my head
I'll tap the brakes if you want to
Set a pace that we can move to
Signs of turbulence in the distance
Wouldn't know where to start to replace this

How did the song come together?
“STMH is a song we knew instantly would be a song our fans would enjoy. It’s indicative of everything we’ve been liked for doing over the years. We were in our home studio back in 2016 going through ideas. It was one of the first songs we wrote for VI.”
What inspired it?
“The idea of ‘home is where the heart is’ is the narrative of this track. Sometimes you find yourself in imperfect situations but yet somehow find small glimpses of perfection. The phrase Straight to my head was the first thing I wrote, I knew that was the tagline, I wasn’t sure if it was a positive...
What was the process of making the song like?
“STMH had a difficult start when it came to recording it. We actually cut the track a few times before making it with our producer for VI, Dan Austin. Writing the song wasn’t the issue, but bringing it to life in the way we collectively saw it was a whole different kind of head ache.”
