about

Have you ever been in love with or missing someone so much that it actually makes you not function normally? This can go two ways. You can either be so obsessed with someone that you act positively out of character, or you can be so obsessed with someone that the thought of them distracts you and hinders your ability to focus. Lovesick takes the latter and adds a bit of jealousy and envy into the mix. This person is like a drug to you and you can't let it go. All you can do really is give them the opportunity to pursue or deny you, but until then, you'll stay lovesick.

Sonically, this song is a little bit of a departure from what Ryan usually does, opting for a more R&B inspired production and no acoustic guitar. This song was a result of late night noodling on guitar while jamming out to late 90s R&B tracks.

lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah, ooo… yeah

[Verse 1]
I’m outta control now
Can’t tame these feelings
When you’re around
My breath is all you’re stealing

I can’t stop thinking
Can’t get you off my mind
Got my heart now singing
Hold your body close to mine

[Chorus 1]
Take it or leave it (take it or leave it)
Leave your doubts behind (behind)
So caught up in debating (up in debating)
Have pity on this heart of mine, yeah
Take it or leave it (take it or leave it)
Or better luck next time? (next time)
I think I'm getting lovesick (lovesick)
Someone like you is hard to find

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
My heart starts sinking
When you're with him
Got my feelings twisted
Don't wanna be a could have been, yeah

You're my addiction
And I can't give you up, not now
It is you I need and
Will we ever work this out?
Yeah

[Chorus 2]
Take it or leave it (take it or leave it)
Leave your doubts behind (behind)
So caught up in debating (up in debating)
Have pity on this heart of mine, yeah
Take it or leave it (take it or leave it)
Or better luck next time? (next time)
I think I'm getting lovesick (lovesick)
Someone like you is hard to find

[Post-Chorus 3]
Woah, oh, oh, yeah
Ooo…, yeah
Lovesick, and I’m lovesick and
I’m lovesick, and I’m lovesick, and
I’m lovesick, and I’m lovesick, and
I’m lovesick, love lovesick, yeah

[Chorus 3]
Take it or leave it
Leave your doubts behind
So caught up in debating
Have pity on this heart of mine, yeah
Take it or leave it (take it or leave it)
Or better luck next time? (next time)
I think I'm getting lovesick (lovesick)
Someone like you is hard to find
Someone like you is hard to find
Someone like you is hard to find

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo… oh oh, oh, oh
Lovesick, and I’m lovesick and
I’m lovesick, and I’m lovesick, and
I’m lovesick, and I’m lovesick, and
I’m lovesick, love lovesick, yeah
