Prelude

I’m insecure, of that I’m sure // don’t need a counselor or seminar to see // and even when it’s only you and me // there seems to be something that you keep behind your teeth // you think I would know how this would go // but maybe that’s exactly why I want it: no need to hope // count to three, you get what you see // and everytime you go I’m here thinking
“Maybe it’s me” // you think I’d know better by now //

VERSE 1
I can't focus on what needs to get done, I'm on notice hoping that you don't run
you think I'm tepid but I'm misdiagnosed, cause I'm a stalker I seen all of your posts
and I'm just trying to play it cool now but that's not what I want to do now
and I'm not trying to be with you now (you now)
you make it difficult to not overthink, and when I'm with you I turn all shades of pink
I want to touch you but don't want to be weird, it's such a rush I'm thinking wish you were here
and I'm just trying to play it cool now but that's not what I want to do now
and I'm not trying to be with you now (you now)
CHORUS
but I could be your crush like throw you for a rush like
hoping you'd text me so i could tell you I been thinking bout your touch like
touch touch touch touch touch I could be your crush crush crush crush crush
I got a fascination with your presentation making me
feel like you're on my island you're my permanent vacation
touch touch touch touch touch I could be your crush crush crush crush crush
VERSE 2
I fill my calendar with stuff I can do, maybe if I'm busy it could keep me from you
and I'm pretending you ain't been on my mind, but I took an interest in the things that you like
and I'm just trying to play it cool now but that's not what I want to do now
and I'm not trying to be with you now (you now)
BRIDGE
and yeah it's true that I'm a little bit intense right
but can you blame me when you keep me on the fence like
and I been waiting hoping that you'd wanna text like (text like)
it's what I was born to do

Bad Ideas
02:59
|
|||
|
I hope that you don't think I'm rude, but I want to make out with you
and I'm a little awkward sure, but I could touch my face to yours
and no one ever called me smooth, but I just wanna see the grooves between your hands your teeth oh, tell me do you think about me
I just wanna kiss you and even if I miss you at least I'll know what it's like to have held your hand oh, no, hey.
Bad Ideas, I know where they lead
but I got too many to sleep and I can't get enough no,
I wanna kiss you standing up
and if tomorrow makes me low, well it'd be worth it just to know
cause I can't get enough no, I wanna kiss you standing up
I don't know what compels me, to do the very thing that fells me
I wake up still high on you but by the night I'm crashing through so
why I'd wanna kiss you even though I'll miss you
guess i just wanna know what it would feel like
oh no, hey
smittens a bad look on me and if I'm talking honestly it takes everything I got not to text and
I just wanna kiss to get me though, cause now all my bedsheets smell like you so
if you think you miss me come on back and kiss me
I just gotta know what you and I would feel like
oh, no, hey! Yikes.

I Like (The Idea Of) You
02:48
|

|
I got a radar for trouble and you’re a renegade
I take a leap and I stumble while you are unafraid
I keep repeating repeating the way you say my name
I try convincing my friends that you’re not right for me
we just don’t make any sense but still you fight for me
I keep repeating repeating the way we shouldn’t be
but I like the idea (dea) of you
I like the idea (dea) of you
wonder how it’d be-a, be to love you
I like the idea (dea) of you
I know I shouldn’t be guessing but you’re impressing me
and I can’t help reading into how you been texting me
I keep repeating repeating the way we shouldn’t be
and yeah I know I don’t need it but it wouldn’t it be neat
we fall in love with a feeling just feelin you and me
I keep repeating repeating the way we shouldn’t be
get everything that you want my love my time my money
you think i’d learn but I love your touch you’re sweet like honey
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to hear you call me funny
guess I’m a sucker for you

Games

I don’t want a piece of that
cause I know there’s no peace in that
I could tell myself a thousand times
but you can make a toy of me and I’ll agree that
maybe I just couldn’t see, couldn’t see that
there ain’t nothing wrong with us at all
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
I know I should trust my gut
cause I know that there’s something up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
and you say that there’s nothing wrong and I long to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
ya lying and everything with you is trying and I don’t wanna keep on crying if I’m the only one
and I been telling everyone I’m fine but I feel like I lost my mind AH am I the only one?
but ya keep on playing games with me games (GAMES)
and you always gotta play with me (PLAY)
and I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
if I knew it all along was I wrong to take you at your word but then all along you’re hiding even when you’re by my side

Feelin
03:04
|

|
spent the winter pretending I’m okay
and I love a sinner cause we look the other way
but I been going under pretending that I am okay
I am a girl of thunder wishing all the world away like
wine with dinner
I talk but i don’t say
how I been feelin
how I been feelin about all of these feelings
oh do you want me now
how I been feelin
pretending I’m dealing without
but I ain’t feeling
oh do you want me out
was it easy deciding you’re not mine
do you feel me
do I ever cross your mind
and I hate that you affect the way I feel at all
I don’t deserve to find my footing just to fall and
wine with dinner
I talk but I don’t say
now voice, I don’t need you to crack
no telling what you might say that I can’t take back
and I don’t think I can open up that door
I’m afraid to give a voice to what I’m wanting for
so I don’t
or I can’t
or I won’t
but it’s like i’m going crazy thinking about
how I been feelin

Words Ain't Enough
02:04

You’re fire you’re proud
but you’re cold when it counts
it’s open and shut
you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
you want me you say
but then you turn away
and I’m pressing my luck
you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
cut myself into pieces easy to chew
carve me up into someone you’d like to choose
till I’m only pieces of you
so you can say you love me but words ain’t enough
so you can say you love me but words ain’t enough

Bored
03:03

it’s 4am again //
you think that could I sense a trend //
I’m staying up too late just so I can stay awake //
wish I weren’t so self obsessed //
wish that I could be the best //
excited with my words //
but nervous and I’m BORED //
I’m so bored of waking up, I’m so BORED //
bored of what’s inside my cup, I’m so BORED //
I’m exhausted by my heart //
I’d feel good if only I could finish what I start //
I’m so BORED //
I’m never tired in my bed, I’m so BORED //
of these thoughts inside my head, I’m so BORED //
bored of being all alone, just hoping I find purpose in these pictures on my phone //
my new habit of the week is saying sorry when I speak //
I know that it’s no good, there’s no reason why I should //
but it’s stuck inside my head, and I can’t get out of bed //
I don’t wanna be ignored, but I’m nervous and I’m BORED //
easier to throw up the flag, well I don’t know //
beat me up for being a drag, well I been dining on crazy I’m filling up on these lies well I just wish you would love me but I keep it all inside //
I’m never tired in my bed, I’m so BORED //
of these thoughts inside my head, I’m so BORED //
bored of being all alone, just hoping I find purpose in these pictures on my phone, I'm so BORED //
I’m never tired in my bed, I’m so BORED //
of these thoughts inside my head, I’m so BORED //
bored of being all alone, just hoping I find purpose in these pictures on my phone//
you look too hard then you see it’s a joke //
and yeah you think you’re trapped but it’s nothing but smoke // you want it better but you, you only choke: is this all there is //
Is this all there is //

Wishful Drinking
03:15
|
|||
|
separate me from the rest of the herd so I can run away from all of my hurt oh
drink what I want, be what I want, say what you want me to say like I can pretend that I don’t wanna end I’m afraid
I’m dangerous
weave a story so I don’t have to talk, no, it’s not a problem if I never get caught oh
drink what I want, be what I want, say what you want me to say like I can pretend that I don’t wanna end I’m afraid
I’m dangerous
oh, wishful drinking
tell myself that I’m not thinking bout how I could drown
drown drown drown
wishful drinking now
wishful drinking
go ahead and stop your thinking now
and throw it down
down down down
wishful drinking now
hide your demons where no one can see em, outta sight but in your mind you believe em
drink what you want, be what they want, say what they want you to say like I can pretend that I don’t wanna end I’m afraid
I’m dangerous
do you think do you think that they notice
I keep a bottle by my bed it’s the focus
drink what I want, be what I want, say what you want me to say like I can pretend that I don’t wanna end I’m afraid
I’m dangerous
this is not a problem if I don’t want it to stop
can’t call it a problem if I never let a plate drop
this is not a problem if convincing that it’s not
don’t call it a problem it’s the only thing that I still got

Honest
04:12
|
|||
|
here’s the truth: my strength ain’t being honest
I mostly work from wanting to be wanted
and if there’s something else, well, I don’t know if I got it
and come the night I’m never really solid
guess I’m not doing well
I’m not doing well
hey hey oh oh oh no
I’m not doing well
I’m not doing well
hey hey oh oh oh no
I’m no good tonight. no, I don’t feel alright at all
hey hey oh
guess I’m not doing well
I’m not doing well
hey hey oh oh oh no
one, two, three, and four, how long till I feel like myself again and
I’d walk out that door but
where would I go?
try and hide from what’s inside you, you can run but you can’t hide oh

Interlude III
02:49

|
I woke up today knowing no one really knows me
don’t know what to say all I know is that I’m lonely
but I don’t fuck around I remove you with a cleft
but now I put you down I’m afraid I’ve nothing left
God, I want a touch of something new, something I can keep
all I know is everything I do don’t bare me no relief
smile button on, I bought it off the shelf
and I been telling all my friends I just been working on myself
wish that I could learn to trust someone would want to put me first
but I can’t deign to hope, now I’m bracing for the worst
God, I want a piece of something new, something I can hold
all I know is holding back won’t help me learn to let it go
I woke up today knowing no one really knows me
don’t know what to say all i know is that I’m lonely
