Hey there baby let’s waste some time Doing nothing with someone like you is sublime Well I’m wanting to waste an hour or two Making nothing but memories of me and you Oh-oh-oh let’s waste some time Oh-oh-oh just you and I Oh-oh-oh won’t you waste some time with me Let’s find a way to waste some time Hey now honey let’s hit the road Roll the windows down with nowhere to go We’ll turn the radio to your favorite song And we’ll wear out our voices by singing along Oh-oh-oh let’s waste some time Oh-oh-oh just you and I Oh-oh-oh won’t you waste some time with me Let’s find a way to waste some time Wasted time Is time spent well Wasted time Is where we find the stories we tell Wasted time Is the time we keep Wasted time Is never a waste with you and me Oh-oh-oh let’s waste some time Oh-oh-oh just you and I Oh-oh-oh won’t you waste some time with me Let’s find a way to waste some time

My little heart keeps breaking in pieces It’s the only way I know to be My little heart keeps chasing what freezes While I’m out here searching for heat And hoping I might find some relief My restless mind keeps spinning in circles Telling tales that keep me awake My restless mind is black blue and purple With the bruises I fabricate And I wish it would just take a break Breathe in breathe out Feel your body pressing down Breathe in breath out Feel your weight pressing into the ground My little heart is growing much stronger While it’s out there leading the way My little heart is brave as a songbird Singing out before the break of day Pressing on even when I am afraid

I am the sun And you are my moon Through waxing and waning Illumining night and noon The heavens our homestead We’re raising up stars While sailing through time zones The infinite space is ours I am the sun And you are my moon I’ll chase you forever And all of my light is for you
4.
Well I wanna leave the lights on To see the beauty of your face Because the pleasure that I feel Is only half of what takes place As our bodies rise and fall Just like the crashing of the waves I feel the mystery that finds me In my lover’s sweet embrace In the morning we share whispers From one pillow to the next As I softly trace the outline Of your fingers on my chest Feels like the earth is spinning slowly To the rhythm of our breath I feel the mystery that finds me In this place of gentle rest And I know that I have fallen into love And I know there is no way I can get up You see the mystery that finds me In your every little touch It is the mystery that calls to me And I cannot get enough As the day wakes up to meet us There is work for us to do I know the world can be impatient And the chaos can break through But like the sun that sets I won’t forget I’m holding to the truth I feel the mystery that finds me When I’m holding onto you And I know that I have fallen into love And I know there is no way I can get up You see the mystery that finds me In your every little touch It is the mystery that calls to me And I cannot get enough And I know that I have fallen into love And I know there is no way I can get up You see the mystery that finds me In your every little touch It is the mystery that calls to me And I cannot get enough
5.
I fell in love with your whisper And my heart breaks my fall I want to be who you dream of And your late night FaceTime call I’m thinking of you And all that you do Is what occupies my mind Oh I fell in love with your whisper And my heartbeat dear is thine

Grow Old 04:08
It’s a funny thing my heart Has a way of getting me into trouble And even though we’re at the start I can’t help but wonder will we become lifelong lovers It’s a mystery that no one really knows Just how young love grows Let us let love grow old Let us let love grow old Like and heirloom in our home Like a treasure made of gold Let us let love grow old I don’t mean to come on strong But you need to know I love completely When I’m yours it’s said and done And if you give yourself to me I’ll hold you firm but gently It’s a mystery that no one really knows Giving and holding and letting go Let us let love grow old Let us let love grow old Like and heirloom in our home Like a treasure made of gold Let us let love grow old If we’re gonna make it through There will be bright and darker days But you and I could be the proof That love grows in beauty as we age Let us let love grow old Let us let love grow old Like and heirloom in our home Like a treasure made of gold Let us let love grow old

about

Love and longing, the push and pull of desire, and falling in and fighting for love are the themes of My Little Heart, volume two of Ely Cartwright’s One Take Sessions. Many artists have fallen prey to “losing their edge” when moving from heartbreak songs to love songs, but Cartwright manages to hold together both the levity and the vulnerability of falling in love. My Little Heart approaches love as the wild animal that it is, beautiful and alluring, but don’t approach too quickly or risk scaring it off. In this volume, Cartwright explores the discovery of love and the hope that it might actually go the distance.
