Since The Day We Met
02:43
|
|||
|
I waited for a mention
You came down from the heavens
Tried to prevent ascension
But now it's almost over, ain't it?
So I'll think up an ending
Get my degree pretending
With theoretical attempting
That I would never do, cause I'm shit
And since the day we met
Like really met
Like started talking
I've tried just to resist
But also tried
Believing something
So I'll pull back the wrapper
Get shot down by the zapper
Do all this and more so I can
Cap things off and do it my way
Now we're on the projector
I wish I was director
But time has no respect for
Pathetic dreamers or clichés
And since the day we met
Like really met
Like started talking
I've tried just to resist
But also tried
Believing something
Don't let me go
I know the tides
Were never in our favor
But since I met you
I can't go back to
The other flavors
I want you with me tonight
Cause if I don't see you again
I'm gonna have a bad long life
Won't go to heaven when I die
When I die
When I die
When I die
And since the day we met
Like really met
Like started talking
I've tried just to resist
But also tried
Believing something
Don't let me go
I know the tides
Were never in our favor
But since I met you
I'm devoted
And I'll never waiver

Lipstick Or Dynamite?
02:43
|
|||
|
I needed energy
And so I tried to get your company
But you propelled yourself away
Kicking and screaming
Lipstick or dynamite?
Exploding when the starlight gets too bright
Don't try to tell me
That you're feeling what I'm feeling
So, could you give me
One more look before you go away
I need validation sometimes
And I think you'll find
Sometimes, it's not just me
But you might need it too
You do, I know it
And it cannot be more true
But when I try to vent
You only think I hate you and your friends
I think I might although
I don't want you to think that
Cause when I cried
You came to tell me everything would be alright
And ever since, I've tried to
Find out where your heart's at
Don't you think we're all searching?
Don't you think that we're...?
I need you
I just need you now
I need you now
Broken hearts are sure
Scattered in the war
Strange geometry
Takes control of me

So Long
03:08
|

|
Do you believe that a secret can be kept
Or a promise not slip out the cracks?
You're so naïve if you really can believe
Once it's given you can take it back
But it's true
And I know
I misjudged it once before
And washed up on the rocky shore
Because it's you
And I know
That betrayal is a waste
That can leave an awful taste
At the sight of your face
Do you believe that a friendship is prolonged
If you write another song for me?
A chance was there, cause I threw it in the air
But you shot it right back down clumsily
But it's fine
Cause I know
That no matter what you ask
I will not go up to bat
You're not mine
And I know
Cause I've already moved on
Even though you're feeling strong
So I'm saying so long
But it's true
And I know
I misjudged it once before
And washed up on the rocky shore
Because it's you
And I know
That betrayal is a waste
That can leave an awful taste
At the sight of your face
But it's fine
Cause I know
That no matter what you ask
I will not go up to bat
You're not mine
And I'm fine
Cause I've already moved on
Even though you're feeling strong
So I'm saying so long
Yeah I'm saying so long
God, I'm saying so long

Crying Angel
03:03
|
|||
|
I think a part of me might work just like a child
I'm clingy, vapid, and attached
Fight for a stronger heart to put me back in line
I'd be devoted, what's the catch?
At night and in the day time
I always seem to wonder where you are
My crying angel
And I can't help you, I don't know you well enough
I gotta watch it when you cry
The secret's safe, don't worry that you said too much
I'll keep it locked in my goodbye
At night and in the day time
I always seem to wonder where you are
My crying angel
Cause when the dawn is calling
I brace myself for losing everything
Upon the sunrise
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
This would last
At night and in the day time
I always seem to wonder where you are
My crying angel
Cause when the dawn is calling
I brace myself for losing everything
Upon the sunrise
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
This would last
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
I didn't think that
This would last
At night and in the day time
I always seem to wonder where you are
My crying angel
Cause when the dawn is calling
I brace myself for losing everything
Upon the sunrise
Be still, my angel

Ice Key
03:24
|
|||
|
Turn yourself into 2D
And twist the lock with your ice key
Now I'm hypnotized
And I'm lost in time
And these words don't mean a thing
And my line of sight
Doesn't quite look right
But it makes me wanna sing
I'm sure I'll find it eventually
But it won't make me happy
Getting off the ride might be suicide
But it's surely worth a try
I'm too young to die
No one wants to hear me sing
Or let me express anything
I'm an idiot
And I feel like shit
Cause they kick me when I'm down
But I blame myself
Everybody else
Just happens to be around
I'm sure I'll find it eventually
But it won't make me happy
Getting off the ride might be suicide
But it's surely worth a try
I'm too young to die

Ramona Told Me
02:02
|
|||
|
When you sleep
Just leave your eyelids open please
At a loss
My last thought could mean anything
But Ramona told me
That it's never really true
And all I ever wanna do
Is hang around with you
And when you sleep
Are you mad at me?
Cause I'm mad at you
Always open
When I need a special friend
See the smile
Breaking as the shiver spreads
Then Ramona told me
That it's never gonna work
And she said don't get comfortable
Cause nothing is for sure
And when you sleep
Are you mad at me?
Cause I'm mad at you
Ramona
Ramona
Ramona
Ramona
But Ramona told me
That it's never really true
And all I ever wanna do
Is hang around with you
And when you sleep
Are you mad at me?
Cause I'm mad at you
Cause I'm mad at you
Cause I'm mad at you

Sing For You
03:01
|
|||
|
I need a rest, I'll do my best
Starting tomorrow
Dammit, why do I keep doing that?
I take my life slow
I'm sorry, don't get mad at me
And please don't hate me
I just wanna find a way
I can reshoot the documentary
I'll sing for you
I'll sing for you
But only if you want me to
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you
If that's what you want me to do
But if you don't
Then let me know
Call me if you want
Because you'll always have my number
Till you lose your phone
And my contact for the summer
Guess you never read
The long apology I sent you
Wish I could've helped
When you went through what you went through
I'll sing for you
I'll sing for you
But only if you want me to
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you
If that's what you want me to do
But if you don't
Then let me know

Moonlight
03:51
|
|||
|
Dazed and confused
You feel it too
Ripped apart
Despite the glue
I'm yours, you're mine
Show me where and I will sign
Course I know
You have a heart
Sixteen and
Satan knows the part
I'm yours, you're mine
Before one party draws the line
And it feels so wrong to me
But it feels so right
Leave the best girl home
While you dance in the moonlight
And I don't know what I'm doing here
And I don't know how to manage fear
But I know I'm here for good
Fell to the pavement
From the stars
Get up and
Stumble to the car
You're mine, I'm yours
And till the end, I'll be unsure
Course I know
That there's a catch
Two half hearts
Never meant to match
You're no one's now
Neither am I, we'll work it out
And it feels so wrong to me
But it feels so right
Leave the best girl home
While you dance in the moonlight
And I don't know what I'm doing here
And I don't know how to manage fear
But I know I'm good to go

Fly Me To The Moon
02:09
|

|
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
