[Intro: Lennon Stella]
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Verse 1: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
Hey, hey, hey
Where do you think you're going?
It's so late, late, late, what's wrong?
I said, "I can't stay, do I have to give a reason?"
It's just me, me, me, it's what I want
[Pre-Chorus: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
So how did we get here?
Three weeks now, we've been so caught up
Better if we do this on our own
[Chorus: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart
[Post-Chorus: Lennon Stella]
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Drop]
Your heart for takeaway
(Your heart for takeaway, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Verse 2: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
Fate, fate, fate
Is that what came between us?
Or did we do this on our own?
[Pre-Chorus: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
So how did we get here?
I'm asking myself why I'm so caught up
Better if we do this on our own
[Chorus: Lennon Stella & Andrew Taggart]
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart
[Post-Chorus: Lennon Stella]
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Drop]
Your heart for takeaway
(Your heart for takeaway, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Your heart for takeaway, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Before I'm someone you leave behind
I'll break your heart so you don't break mine
Before I love you, na-na-na
I'm gonna leave you, na-na-na
Even if I'm not here to stay
I still want your heart

not to mention it was super bad ass to have the vessel serve as our set location which is such an impressive structure to see in person. definitely go check it out if you’re in NYC

This track is out because of you guys.

Just want to let you know we hear you guys, we love you g...
