Jaymes Young and Phoebe Ryan: We Won’t
If there were a music collaboration jackpot, I think we’ve certainly hit it today. Truth be told, I already caught on to some teases about this team up of acts I love, but I was still waiting on pins and needles to finally hear it. Today, rising Los Angeles pop artist Phoebe Ryan partnered up with fellow Southern California crooner Jaymes Young on We Won’t. The two’s soothing voices seem like they were made for each other, gliding so serenely and beautifully over We Won’t’s honeyed, sparkling melody, in a very Oh Wonder like, mellow way. Phoebe’s soft, breathy voice and Jaymes’ brooding style fit together perfectly. We Won’t is the perfect rainy day or late night wistful listen.

Jaymes Young and Phoebe Ryan: We Won’t Lyrics:
Don’t go to war for me
I’m not the one that you want me to be
Don’t call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
Are we gonna stay like this forever
Floating, I’m serious
My heart is furious
Cause I’m so confused when we’re together
Feels like I’m choking
These emotions
I know I’m gonna let you down
So don’t hold your breath now
Bittersweet in your mouth
Can you stomach the doubt?
I wish I could say what I’m feeling
I’m scared to let these words out
Don’t go to war for me
I’m not the one that you want me to be
Don’t call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
And don’t cry no more for me
Don’t waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we’ll get it right
Cause we never could, I wish that we would
But we won’t, so just don’t
We won’t so just don’t
But we won’t so just don’t
Don’t
I can’t trust you
Baby cause I don’t want to
This isn’t fun anymore
Never hurt like this before
Broken dishes on the floor
Hearts exploding
Tell me why I’m still holding
Onto the love that we been breaking
Damn I thought we’d make it
No other way to say it
Don’t don’t don’t
Don’t go to war for me
I’m not the one that you want me to be
Don’t call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good
And I wish you would
And don’t cry no more for me
Don’t waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we’ll get it right
Cause we never could, I wish that we would.
We burn faster
Than a cigarette in my mouth
I know it hurts
But baby we can’t stop now
Baby we can’t stop now
Don’t go to war for me
I’m not the one that you want me to be
Don’t call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
Don’t cry no more for me
Don’t waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we’ll get it right
Cause we never could I wish that we would
But we won’t, so just don’t
We won’t so just don’t
But we won’t so just don’t
Don’t, Dooon’t, Don’t
