Three

from Outro by Emilie Kahn

about

"Three is a song about desire and the need for absolute clarity. It’s the the oldest song on the record and also the one that evolved the most during the process, from an intimate acoustic piece to a three-part epic suite, it was the first track Warren and I felt really proud of." - Emilie Kahn

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

If you treat me like a prize
Come take what’s yours
Follow my lead
Come get what’s yours

There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want
There’s nothing I can’t take
This is no game, but if it were
You always win the race

I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive

I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive, asking to receive

I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south
I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

I only drew a straight line, what did I get?
A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

Why don’t you tell me what it is that you want?
I’m tired of begging for it, I’m tired of begging for it
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south
I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

I only drew a straight line, what did I get?
A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it
But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game
I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game

But if you treat me like a prize
Come take what’s yours
Come take it all
Take me, I’m yours

There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want
Easy enough to see
This is no game, this is no game
This is no game for three

I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive

I see you eyes wide open
I can’t think straight
I see you hands out open
Asking to receive
Asking to receive
