Lead Me On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born to love you
You were born wild and free
I was made to find you
But your heart is constantly runnin', just never toward me

[Chorus]
So why don't you just lead me on?
'Cause something is better than nothing at all
Yeah, I want you to lead me on
'Cause something, yeah, something is better than nothing
Something, your something is better than nothing at all

[Verse 2]
It's hard to tame wild horses (It's hard to tame wild horses)
It's hard to stay sound asleep (Sound asleep)
The thought of you is torture (The thought of you is torture)
But your heart is constantly runnin', just never toward me

[Chorus]
So why don't you just lead me on?
'Cause something is better than nothing at all
Yeah, I want you to lead me on
'Cause something, yeah, something is better than nothing
Yeah, something, your something is better than nothing at all
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

[Bridge]
So why don't just lead me on?
'Cause something is better than nothing at all, at all, at all

[Chorus]
So why don't you just lead me on?
'Cause something, yeah, something is better than nothing
Your something, your something is better than nothing
Your something, your something is better than nothing
Just a little something, just something is better than nothing at all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did FLETCHER say about "Lead Me On"?
Genius Answer

For some people ‘Lead Me On’ might sound like a breakup song, where I’m telling someone that I’ll take whatever crumbs I can get from them. Or it might sound like a song where I’m speaking to a better, healthier version of me that exists in the future. It’s a version that’s a higher self in some way, and I’m connecting with her through these little moments of clarity or intuition and asking her to keep guiding me down that path. All the songs on this album were written on multiple levels, and they exist in many dimensions at one time.
