About This Track

'naïve' by Willow is an Alternative track from the album 'lately I feel EVERYTHING', released in 2021. The lyrics sketch a combative, self-possessed stance toward hostile attention, with the narrator rejecting the influence of the mainstream and treating the situation like a cat-and-mouse sprint. There is talk of being told to choose between bad options, then positioning themselves as a corrective, alongside a sense of wary preparation, “Tell me, are you ready,”.

"naïve" is a track by Willow, from the album lately I feel EVERYTHING, released 15th July 2021. The track is 2:50 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Willow.

Lyrics

naïve

I don't wanna listen to the radio
They said, "Pick your poison", I'm the antidote
I'm just - chillin' in the spot
With a - in my ear, and I'm runnin' from the cops, yeah
I don't like the way you're lookin' at me bro
You hate and then you love but what's the ratio?
Tell me, are you ready, are you not?
Life's a movie and it sucks, but I can't stop watching

I need you to tell me when I'm being naïve
'Cause I know I can be

I just wanna listen to the rain fall
While I sit up in my room, I get a phone call
It's my - sayin', "Can you pick us up?
We got shot by rubber bullets at a protest in the Bronx", yeah
And I nevеr notice when the night goеs sour
Tastes bittersweet when you drive up
You open up to me like a flower
I just wanna see you bloom and I

I need you to tell me when I'm being naïve
'Cause I know I can be
I need you to tell me when I'm being naïve
'Cause I know I can be

(Tell me)
I need you to tell me when I'm being naïve
'Cause I know I can be
(Tell me)
I need you to tell me when I'm being naïve
'Cause I know I can be
