Oh He Dead "Up and Down" - 2025 NPR Tiny Desk Contest Submission

We hope you enjoy :)
UP AND DOWN LYRICS
You’re as cold as a winter
I’ve been waiting on you
to bring me your summer
Your walls have been up
I can bring them down
for you
I will
You’re pushing me away
Ain’t an easy thing baby
That you can do me
I’m still standing in the cold
I think I need some shelter baby
So let me in
This ain’t nothing new
I’ve been feeling you lately
You keep me up and down
I can’t tell you how
You’ve made me feel baby
I’m searching all around
I can’t slow you down
I’ll catch up to you one day
But I just can’t settle for that
I know what you like
Maybe I can learn some more
So tell me what’s the key
How to open up your door
Take time let it grow
Baby we can take it slow
Let me sing for you
Doo doo doo dooo doo doo doo
This ain’t nothing new
I’ve been feeling you lately
You keep me up and down
I can’t tell you how
You’ve made me feel baby
I’m searching all around
I can’t slow you down
I’ll catch up to you one day
I’m following your love
Maybe we’re just friends
This is where we should be
But I just can’t settle for that
This ain’t nothing new
I’ve been feeling you lately
You keep me up and down
I can’t tell you how
You’ve made me feel baby
I’m searching all around
I can’t slow you down
I’ll catch up to you one day
I’m following your love
Maybe we’re just friends
This is where we should be
But I just can’t settle for that

A cozy place, a huge, nice rug, tasteful clothes and soothing, sweet music. ...And a nice 1963 (?) Telecaster and maybe Player Precision Bass?
