Recorded by Josh Rowe in Nashville, TN.

First single released from Laura Rose. PURCHASE TODAY (06/19/2020) AND 100% OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE FUND.

The song combines some of Laura Rose's experiences from her personal life:

"'Quicksand' makes me think of many times in my life when I put a lot of thought and time into making a situation work out the way I thought it could, but the more I tried, the more my visualized outcome seemed to slip away. What I like most about this song is that the mood is not downtrodden. It has a little sass but there is genuine desire to make the situation work."

lyrics

What's your name
Where you from
I wrote my number down so you'll give me a call

I played it cool
And I played the field
But I was hoping that you'd come in for the steal

But the more I try to get you
The more I see it slip through your hands
Watch it slip through your hands

And the more I try to get you
The more I see it slip through your hands
Watch it slip through your hands

It just feels like
Quicksand
'Don't really know what you're scared of
Quicksand
'Wanna dress you up in my love

Give me more
Than a drink
'Cuz I'm dying, baby, tell me what you think

Pick me up
And don't be late
'Tired of waiting for you to give it to me straight

'Cuz the more I try to get you
The more I see it slip through your hands
Watch it slip through your hands

'Said the more I try to get you
The more I see it slip through your hands
Watch it slip through your hands

'Cuz it just feels like
Quicksand
'Don't really know what you're scared of
Quicksand
'Wanna dress you up in my love, my love

Quicksand
'Don't really know what you're scared of
Quicksand
'Wanna dress you up in my love, my love

Dress you up in my love
(Quicksand)
Dress you up, dress you up

Dress you up in my love
(Quicksand)

Yeah

'Cuz it just feels like
Quicksand
'Don't really know what you're scared of
Quicksand
'Wanna dress you up in my love, my love

'Cuz it just feels like
Quicksand
'Don't really know what you're scared of
Quicksand
'Wanna dress you up in my love, my love
