It’s date night tonight I’m feeling more than alright
I’ll fry the spring rolls if you hold me the whole time
Dancing in the kitchen swaying with the wind chimes
I love you so much I could explode
Oh my love you are my home
You make me feel like I belong
Driving late oh here we come
You’ll always be the heart of all my songs
I dream of my life with you
And I know you dream it too
When it’s late in the night and I’m holding you tight
I’ll whisper into your hair about how deeply I care
I’m sorry it’s easier to tell you in my dreams
I promise this love is more than it seems
I’ve grown softer from you in the best kind of way
I hope that you can feel my love every second of every day
Oh my love you are my home
You make me feel like I belong
Driving late oh here we come
You’ll always be the heart of all of my songs
I dream of my life with you
And I know you dream it too
We’ve had so many adventures but I never get tired
Love pours out of me with an endless delight
I’d get stuck in Indianola with you any time
Love it blooms with no reason or rhyme
Oh my love you are my home
You make me feel like I belong
Driving late oh here we come
You’ll always be the heart of all of my songs
I dream of my life with you
And I know you dream it too
You make me feel like I belong
You’ll always be the heart of all of my songs

Rebuild
03:06
|

I used to think I knew you
But then people surprise too
I don’t understand
My love think of the consequences
I wanna look into your mind
Think I’d be afraid of what I’d find
I don’t think we could be
You’ve thrown away the key
I’m watching myself fall down
Even though you’re not around
And I miss you with all of my heart
I promise despite falling apart
I will rebuild myself
I don’t know what I want
Think I forgot how to be
There’s no one else I can see
But you don’t want to be with me
And as much as I want to
This hurts so bad I can’t take more
I’m sorry for hurting you
But love you really hurt me too
I’m watching myself fall down
Even though you’re not around
And I miss you with all of my heart
I promise despite falling apart
I will rebuild myself
Some days I can't breathe without thinking of you
I don’t want to see the end
I’m taking one day at a time
Life is still beautiful alone
One foot in front of the other they say I’ll be fine
I’m watching myself fall down
Even though you’re not around
And I still miss you with all of my heart
I promise despite falling apart
I
I will rebuild myself

Don't Give Up
02:58
|
|||
|
I watch the clouds in the sky
They move so fast I might just cry
Good love is hard work
Please tell me that you’ll work too
I’ve been told “no” enough times
Its okay if you don’t want to
Its rather complicated
Keepin up, keep frustrated
Workin round communication
I’m actually scared as hell
Vulnerable, I am not well
Please don’t give up
I am a little bruised
I fell so fast now I’m confused
But I promise that I am
Still sweet enough to eat
Just wash me off with love and care
Tomorrow say that you’re still there
Its rather complicated
Keepin up, keep frustrated
Workin round communication
I’m actually scared as hell
Vulnerable, I am not well
Please don’t give up
We’re running in circles now
Don’t want to give up what I have found
I’m starting to hear the sound
It echoes when I’m alone
Its rather complicated
Keepin up, keep frustrated
Workin round communication
I’m actually scared as hell
Vulnerable, I am not well
Please don’t give up
Please don’t give up

Enough
03:20
|
|||
|
I compare myself too much
Then I spiral through such a depressive episode
I wish I was a bird
I wish that I was heard before I fly away for the winter
Why am I in this body
What do you think of me
Perception is a joke
Living in your brain makes me want to choke
Everything I do feels like sin
I wanna find a home in my skin
Is the mirror lying or are you
Don’t wanna be thought of as a fool
For this dependency on outside validation
Floating through the void
Can I cancel all this noise
And just be, really really be
Why am I in this body
What do you think of me
Perception is a joke
Living in your brain makes me want to choke
Everything I do feels like sin
I wanna find a home in my skin
I get carried away by the night sky
No matter how hard I try, I try
Why am I in this body
What do you think of me
Perception is a joke
Living in your brain makes me want to choke
Everything I do feels like sin
I wanna find a home in my skin

Fade Away
03:11
|
|||
|
I just ate my first meal at 5
Not from hunger but I figured it was time I tried
In bed for hours I laid
Feeling everything but nothing
Unsure if I wanted to but my tears ran dry
The sun is out so I shouldn’t feel this way
But in my mind it is all painted gray
Breathe in
Breathe out
Maybe I just need to shout
Stay in
Or go out
Mother tells me not to pout
They say the darkest berries are the sweetest
In my darkest mind I’ll hide the secrets
I guess I forgot to tell you
I guess if I get to
Are you sure you need to know
Cause all I’ve told before they seem to go
Maybe no one will understand
Because even I don’t understand
Breathe in
Breathe out
Maybe I just need to shout
Stay in
Or go out
Easy to forget what its all about
Can I learn to illuminate
I’ve never been so afraid
Oh don’t let me
Fade away

Roots
04:25
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel heavy in my heart but hollow in my chest
I’d like to think I do but I don’t know best
It feels like I’m drowning I can see lights shining under waves
Tell me what to do with fish swimming in my mind
Sometimes it's hard to find
You remind me of the waves how you come and you go
Oh you’re soft and bright and you’re cold just like the snow
You feel just like a breeze, you’re getting dark an autumn song
I want your warmth to radiate on my skin you are my sun
I’m breaking these walls down, please look at what I’ve found
It may not make sense yet, I hope you won’t regret
You’re tangled in my roots
It seems I’ve outgrown you but I can’t leave you behind
Won’t you take some time and catch up with me
You are too stubborn and I can’t make you see
My love, you’re about to make a mistake
Don’t lose sight, please just fight, oh your silence makes me shake
Maybe my tears will root in the ground and turn into trees
Maybe one day these wounds will heal and flowers will sprout from the ground
Because I’ve tried my hardest to tend to this garden
But you keep leaving me with weeds
I’m breaking these walls down, please look at what I’ve found
It may not make sense yet, I hope you won’t regret
You’re tangled in my roots
And love for you falls like fruit
You saw my soul
I never thought I’d have to worry about letting you go
Without you, the world around me seems so strange
One day I’ll learn the only constant thing is change
I’m breaking these walls down, please look at what I’ve found
It may not make sense yet, I hope you won’t regret
You’re tangled in my roots
And love for you falls like fruit
This is the hardest part
Without you is where I will start

Turning
06:30
|
|||
|
I hurt you first
Who is to say if it was the worst
I don’t know why humans act like we do
Its fucked how hurting made me realize how I loved you
I thought I could make up for it by throwing myself in deeper
Maybe all it did was cause wounds to fester
You turned quickly, you were spiteful
Our love went rancid
We are both at fault but neither to blame
I’ll never regret the love that is our flame
This isn’t me saying I’m sorry I’d never do that in a song
I never can seem to get over our story and realizing we are both wrong
We are meant to grow and learn so I know this pain will mend
No matter the context stick with me until the end
I’m sorry I talk about you behind your back
I think I do it to cope with the fact
That you don’t love me like that anymore
I was selfish and stupid I thought that I knew this
I wish I hadn’t learnt the lessons with you
It was just something that I needed to go through
This isn’t me saying I’m sorry I’d never do that in a song
I never can seem to get over our story and realizing we are both wrong
We are meant to grow and learn so I know this pain will mend
No matter the context stick with me until the end
I can’t get you out of my dreams
You’re going through the same or so it seems
Am I just seeing what I want in your eyes
Fuck I forgot just how fast time flies
This isn’t me saying I’m sorry I’d never do that in a song
I never can seem to get over our story and realizing we are both wrong
We are meant to grow and learn so I know this pain will mend
No matter the context stick with me until the end
No matter the context stick with me until the end
No matter the context stick with me until the end

Fool
01:43
|
|||
|
I am a fool and I will always trust you
I’ll always hold space for growth
I am a fool and I will always miss you
I don’t know how to tell you no
You just wanna know that I will always be here
You’ll break my heart and leave again I fear
I constantly question my self worth
Deeply rooted what you didn’t say and how it hurt
I don’t know how to trust anymore
All I have is love that comes from my core
I want to meet you in the middle
But I need to save myself
I am a fool and I will always care
I’m addicted to breathing in your air
I am a fool and I will always love you
Even when it hurts me so
I wish you’d tell me what you want from me
But that would require some reflecting
Which we both know you’re not capable of
You’ve always been shit at communicating your love
I wish you’d quit playing games with me
And just let me go
I am a fool trying to change my ways
I just need to escape your gaze
I am a fool trying to move on
I won’t fall for your fucking CON
I won’t be a fool anymore
I won’t be a fool anymore
I won’t be a fool

Saccharine

Love me syrupy sugary saccharine
Oozing treacly toe-curling oxytocin
Write your words all over my body
Whisper them into my ears
Celestial nebula drip from your lips
Exhale me feed me fill me I’m yours baby
Ooh I love how you love me
Ooh they’d find my heart at the bottom of the
Ooh I need your heartbeat
To feel you as our lips meet
The warmth your honey love Sears through my skin
Melting candle wax down my throat where have you been
You’re hand-picked chosen from my wildest deepest dreams
I’ve found nirvana don’t wake me I don’t wanna
I can taste forbidden fruit from your mouth
Exhale me feed me fill me I’m yours baby
Ooh I love how you love me
Ooh they’d find my heart at the bottom of the
Ooh I need your heartbeat
To feel you as our lips meet
Drip drip your love onto me
Yearning for the taste of your ecstasy
I need you to promise and breathe it on my neck
Scar it on to me
Exhale me feed me fill me I’m yours baby
Ooh I love how you love me
Ooh they’d find my heart at the bottom of the sea
Ooh I need your heartbeat
To feel you as our lips meet
Ooh I love how you love me
Ooh they’d find my heart at the bottom of the sea
Ooh I need your heartbeat
To feel you as our lips meet

Have I Lost Myself
02:23
|
|||
|
I feel stupid and unkind
always trying to remind
Don’t lose yourself
don’t lose yourself
I will try and push away
I only know the things I cannot say
I will lose myself I will lose myself
Ooh who can I be can I be can I be
Ooh will I ever truly ever truly truly be me
Can I ever be myself
If I’m in love with someone else
Falling back into this cycle
Try to deny I’m a disciple
I won’t lose myself
I won’t lose myself
Ignore the warning signs around
I drive myself into the sound
Have I lost myself
I have lost myself
Mesmerized by the night
craving that eternal light
Ooh I want to run
Ooh show me what I have become

Happy New Year
02:20

It’s midnight and you kiss me
You’re by my side and everything will be alright
Flash forward it’s February
I don’t know how but we are falling apart now
It’s April and you resent me
Blinded by love I was too late to see
But it’s May and I can see it coming the end
In June I try all I can to mend
But in July we finally die
I don’t know how but I am alright
I try all August long
Writing miles in songs
September really kicked my ass
Wondering how you are
But sometimes I ask
And I always regret it
In October I start to finally understand
If you were right for me
Then that’s where you’d be
November I trip up a little again
I can feel love for you coursing through my veins
And I remind myself how
In July we finally died
I don’t know how I’m feelin more than alright
And I’m starting to see the brighter side
It’s December now and I don’t know how
I’ve gone 5 months without you
Holidays hit me harder than I thought
Sometimes I wish memories of us could rot
And I remind myself
How in July we finally died
If I’m not now I know I’ll be alright
Every day still happens without you by my side
Don’t know where it leads
But hey I’m on the ride
It’s midnight and I’m dizzy
Begging next year not to spin me more
Thinkin of this year's lessons that I’m grateful for
(spoken)
Are you ready? 5 4 3 2 1 Happy New Year

Bring Me Home
02:13
|
|||
|
I’ve always wanted to be with you
I feel you coursing through my veins
All my life I’ve felt you near, finally I have you here
Whisper in my ear
I’m tired of dreaming, my love please don’t be leaving
Put your arms around me, I’m lost until you’ve found me
Bring me home
Pulling my hair out, trying to keep you
I spiral figuring out what I should do
Melodies dance in my brain and I will always be insane
All my life I’ve felt you near, finally I have you here
Whisper in my ear
I’m tired of dreaming, my love please don’t be leaving
Put your arms around me, I’m lost until you’ve found me
Bring me home
Oh I can try to hide
But when I’m without you I storm inside
I know, this is my destiny
Here it is sitting right in front of me
All my life I’ve felt you near, finally I have you here
Whisper in my ear
I’m tired of dreaming, my love please don’t be leaving
Put your arms around me, I’m lost until you’ve found me
Bring me home
Bring me home
I am home

End Of Spring
03:03
|
|||
|
Just like the clouds clear in the spring
Without you, I’m finding
I am better off
Even if I am just as lost
The sun it shines
I feel it on my skin
It’s warm but cold
Feeling memories grow old
This winter the leaves will fall again
And I’ll be better than I’ve ever been
My cat she joins me as I watch the blowing breeze
It’s moments like these that I wish time would freeze
Constantly worried about wasting my youth
But the biggest waste of all is what I didn’t do
The sun it shines
I feel it on my skin
It’s warm but cold
Feeling memories grow old
This winter the leaves will fall again
And I will be better than I’ve ever been
I’m grateful for the lessons that I’ve learned
Grateful for what I didn’t get when I yearned
The sunset lights a fire in my heart
I can see it now without falling apart
The sun it shines
I feel it on my skin
It’s warm but cold
Feeling memories grow old
This winter the leaves will fall again
And I will be better than I’ve ever been
I’ve ever
been
