Helena Mayer - Childish

Copied!

{Verse 1}
She may be yours, but ya don't own her
She may be yours, but ya put you first
I know your kind, I know your style
'Cause I've been there twice before
Ya did your time, did the work
Now you think her trophy's yours

{Pre-Chorus}
You wear her down and turn her no to yes, no to yes
Work the inside out, pull that feeling from her chest
Might seem good right now, but it's ominous, ominous
What you give comes round, but that should be common sense

{Chorus}
Why do we have to be, so damn childish
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down
Why do we have to be, so damn childish
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down (Yeah)

{Refrain}
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down

{Verse 2}
Don't mistake her body for a playground
Sliding down her curves just to go another way around
You got what you came here for, you left feeling proud
But the marks your hands have made have gone and worn her way down

{Pre-Chorus}
Might seem good right now, but it's ominous, ominous
What you give comes round, but that should be common sense

{Chorus}
Why do we have to be, so damn childish
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down
Why do we have to be, so damn childish
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down

{Refrain}
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down

{Bridge}
Aim for the heart just to get to the body
How did we get this far, couldn't see what's in front of me
Aim for the heart just to get to the body
How did we get this far, couldn't see what's in front of me, yeah

{Refrain}
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down (Hey)
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down

{Chorus}
Why do we have to be, so damn childish (So dam childish)
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down (Slow down)
Why do we have to be, so damn childish (Yeah)
Why do we have to be
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down (Hey)

{Refrain}
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down, hey
Let me slow, let me slow, slow down (Hey)

Biography

edit bio

Helena Mayer is a singer and songwriter born in Thousand Oaks, California. From an early age, Helena has had a passion for music, and now together with Joshua Zegan, she has begun releasing R&B and pop-infused music. Her deeply introspective, sometimes brooding, and soulful lyrics represent a dichotomy when paired with the dance-oriented, electronic instrumentation. Mayer
takes her influence from artists like Khalid, Julia Michaels, and Bilie Ellish.

While she had planned to begin releasing in early 2019, she released her first single in November of 2018 in response to the Borderline shooting and fires that overtook her hometown earlier that month. Since then, she has been convicted to write music that makes the world better, even if it is just a little bit.
