Then you’re gonna realize, realize, realize
You should’ve said goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Before she went and hypnotized, hypnotized you.
But then, she makes these “promises”
Then tells you that you can be just friends
But I can help your heart mend
‘Cause I know you’re the one till the end.

the one till the end

First she’s gonna take you, take you, take you
Then she’s gonna break you, break you, break you
Guess I can’t make you, make you, make you fall in love with me.
She says she’s gonna love you, love you, love you
Then makes a fool of you, of you, of you
Bet she’ll never love you, love you, love you like the way I do.
But then, she makes these “promises”
Then tells you that you can be just friends
But I can help your heart mend
‘Cause I know you’re the one till the end.
Then you’re gonna realize, realize, realize
You should’ve said goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Before she went and hypnotized, hypnotized you.
But then, she makes these “promises”
Then tells you that you can be just friends
But I can help your heart mend
‘Cause I know you’re the one till the end.
Baby you better run before she tears you apart
Baby you better run before she rips out your heart
Baby you better run, we know what she’s done to other guys
Baby you better run before she goes on telling her lies
‘Cause first she’s gonna take you
And then she’s gonna break you
I guess I cannot make you fall in love with me.
She says she’s gonna love you, love you, love you
Then makes a fool of you, of you, of you
Bet she’ll never love you, love you, love you like the way I do.
But then, she makes these “promises”
Then tells you that you can be just friends
But I can help your heart mend
‘Cause I know you’re the one till the end.

zero gravity

Text me when you get back home
Now that I’m dizzy and my lips are numb
Swear I’ve just been drinking water all night long
It’s all your fault
How did we always get caught in the rain?
How did you end up flowing through my veins?
We started running
Before we hit the ground
Darling, did you bathe in berries?
I swear every touch just made me pucker my lips.
Driving down the streets you talked about
Like they were dreams, and we were living in them
I traced constellations on your cheeks,
We were playing hopscotch on Saturn’s rings
You called me an astronaut, and I couldn’t speak
Chest under my cheek, I was feeling zero gravity
Zero gravity
Could’ve sat sipping on you all summer
And I tried to make that season last
But we couldn’t make it through the winter
‘Cause I knew I couldn’t handle that
Darling, did you bathe in berries?
I swear every touch just made me pucker my lips.
Driving down the streets you talked about
Like they were dreams, and we were living in them
I traced constellations on your cheeks,
We were playing hopscotch on Saturn’s rings
You called me an astronaut, and I couldn’t speak
Chest under my cheek, I was feeling zero gravity
Zero gravity

boyfriend

She has a thing for common sense
Empathy and self-confidence
Oh, she met a boy who stole her mind
And now it’s gone
And she sings
“Come back, come back, come back to me
I do, I do, I do believe
You have taken things
That were once mine, mine, mine”
And maybe one day he will return
But he’ll never know what he did to her
And she’d never tell him
And he’ll go back home to his boyfriend
She knows the feeling all too well
Butterflies and pretending she can’t tell
That she knows exactly how this is gonna end
And it will soon
She still sings
“Come back, come back, come back to me
I do, I do, I do believe
You have taken things
That were once mine, mine, mine”
And maybe one day he will return
But he’ll never know what he did to her
And she’d never tell him
And he’ll go back home to his boyfriend
He’ll be across the ocean soon
She’ll still be dancing in her room
She’ll move along
But he’s never gone, gone, gone
And he’ll check back in once in a while
Never knowing that behind her smile
She was once thinking
“Come back, come back, come back to me
I do, I do, I do believe
You have taken things
That were once mine, mine, mine”
And maybe one day he will return
But he’ll never know what he did to her
And she’d never tell him
Oh no, no, no, no, no
“Come back, come back, come back to me
I do, I do, I do believe
You have taken things
That were once mine, mine, mine”
And maybe one day he will return
But he’ll never know what he did to her
And she’d never tell him
And he’ll go back home to his boyfriend

Take me back to the word “go”
And tell me I’m not good enough, good enough
Could have hurt less than taking it slow
You let the ache intensify and linger
Stop blinding hearts
With blurred lines and pretty words, baby
I thought the feeling was mutual
From words you spoke in our last phone call
And now I look like the fool
‘Cause I won’t I take back the words I said to you
I don’t need your consolation
You love me or you don't, you’ll stay here or you won't
Pushing you out of my nighttime
Pressing resume on my lifetime
Stop blinding hearts
With blurred lines and pretty words, baby
I thought the feeling was mutual
From words you spoke in our last phone call
And now I look like the fool
‘Cause I won’t I take back the words I said to you
I’m glad he makes you feel the way you did to me
I had clear intentions, but you can’t say the same thing
A million times a minute is quite fast for a heart to beat
But I’m glad he makes you feel the way you did to me
Oh baby, stop blinding hearts
With blurred lines and pretty words, baby (and pretty words)
I thought the feeling was mutual
From words you spoke on our last phone call (now you don’t call)
But now I look like the fool (I’m not your fool)
‘Cause I won’t I take back the words I said to you (I said to you)
No, I won’t take back the words I said to you

bullet

I dodged the bullet I swear, I swear
I should have left you in February’s air
Were you really scared?
Or was me asking for what I wanted too much to bear?
Oh
I should have listened I know, I know
My time was never yours to borrow
Now all of the questions I had will remain in my head
And you’ll keep complaining ‘bout the empty space in your bed
Oh
I’d ask, but I know you don’t know
My friends were so sick of hearing your name
‘Cause I kept saying the same damn thing
So here’s song number four
With every line, I tried to write you out of my mind
Cross your fingers and say goodbye
Oh, goodbye
I dodged the bullet I swear, I swear
I’m glad you shut me down before we could go anywhere
Now you can dance in your mirror for somebody else
‘Cause all along I should have stopped and just danced for myself
Oh
I’d ask, but I know you don’t know
My friends were so sick of hearing your name
‘Cause I kept saying the same damn thing
So here’s song number four
With every line, I tried to write you out of my mind
Cross your fingers and say goodbye
Oh, goodbye
Oooh, oooh
Oh
I’d ask, but I know you don’t know
My friends were so sick of hearing your name
‘Cause I kept saying the same damn thing
So here’s song number four
With every line, I tried to write you out of my mind
Cross your fingers and say goodbye
Oh, goodbye

relics
05:17

|
We were sweet, weren’t we?
And that’s why my eyes sting
I ran away because our fires didn’t burn the same
You know I hate biting my tongue
Kissed your cheek until you stayed
Feeling that was our last Friday
You tasted like lemonade, sweeter than the cake we made
I knew nothing would ever taste the same
But I’ll still read your poetry
When I’m old and crow’s feet remain
From when our cheeks would hurt the same
And I’ll keep relics of the mess we made
Relics of the mess we made
Thankful for every page
My heart melted with each note you made
Who’s your next muse? Who is mine?
And whose will I be? Will we find
Ourselves in between the lines?
But I’ll still read your poetry
When I’m old and crow’s feet remain
From when our cheeks would hurt the same
And I’ll keep relics of the mess we made
Relics of the mess we made
One cold night, one stone bench
Two of us, two young kids
And three strong words I never said aloud
One cold night, one stone bench
Two of us, two young kids
And three strong words I never said aloud
But I’ll still read your poetry
When I’m old and crow’s feet remain
From when our cheeks would hurt the same
And I’ll keep relics of the mess we made
Relics of the mess we made
One cold night, one last kiss
Though it hurts, we’re just kids
I’m sorry it all ended up like this
But who’s your next muse? Who is mine?
And whose will I be? Will we find
Ourselves in between the lines?

let her go
04:58
|
|||
|
I don’t mean to wallow, I’ve got a roof over my head
Daily pills to swallow, and this is another one of them
I’ll never know her because she doesn’t exist
She got to taste the water; she let it soak into her skin.
The sunbeams soaked her lover; she got to bask in it with them
But they’ll never know her. It ended before it could begin.
Her “right now” was supposed to be
Here and there and in between
Festivals and headlights and me
Eyes bright and looking forward
But chasing dreams that were not for her
Tries her best to hide all her debris
Won’t help to hold on to her ghost
So I let her go
Striking strings and boxes, the evidence is in her hands
She reviews it often on the mountain with the band
They get to know her. Wasn’t that always the plan?
Her “right now” was supposed to be
Here and there and in between
Festivals and headlights and me
Eyes bright and looking forward
But chasing dreams that were not for her
Tries her best to hide all her debris
Won’t help to hold on to her ghost
So I let her go
She has never known a thing except the path that’s beaten for her
Maybe all she needs is time to find her footing elsewhere
Her “right now” was supposed to be
Here and there and in between
Festivals and headlights and me
Eyes bright and looking forward
But chasing dreams that were not for her
Tries her best to hide all her debris
Won’t help to hold on to her ghost
There’s more comin’ than she’ll ever know
Thinking fast, but living slow
So I let her go

brooklyn lady

If I found myself in Brooklyn
Might I see you on the street
Laundry bag over your shoulder
In a sundress with those sneakers on your feet
Should I act like I don’t know you?
Should I stay out of your way?
Or should I tell you how you helped my petals
Open to the sun then walked away
And now I’m living like you taught me to
And missing you through pictures that I saved
How’s your brain been treating you?
Has the city been kind, too?
Left your toolkit at my parents’ house, and i still use it
Is your hair still at your shoulders?
Have you any new tattoos?
I loved the tiger on your stomach
Now each one I see just makes me think of you
And I have misplaced my belief in shame
Because you shattered my old point of view
How’s your brain been treating you?
Has the city been kind too?
Left your toolkit at my parents’ house, and i still use it
Are you still in that apartment?
Is that girl still where your heart is?
I will stop myself from looking for you, just how you wanted
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you

Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do
Search “disaster”
You'll find a photo of you and I
Hasn't happened yet
But it's bound to go down
I wouldn't be surprised
If I loved you in another life
My eyes are
Drawn to the impossible
Like flour on a black T-shirt
You and I are messy
Like these kids throwing dirt
You and I are messy
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do
Just seventeen
You smiled and couldn’t believe your eyes
If this weren’t me
I’d think it was treacherous
Your glance is dangerous
Wondering “What if?” is hazardous
I can’t make you
Exit my subconscious
Like flour on a black T-shirt
You and I are messy
Like these kids throwing dirt
You and I are messy
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
Sun’s in my eyes now
Watching you walk out I
Wish the wind would
Blow my thoughts away
Fire burns out when
Rain pours down and
Reason floods back to me
Cuz you and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
You and I are fire, water, ice
Burning, drowning, I
Can’t believe I’m doing this again
Oh again

Baby there’s a thunderstorm
On the twenty-first floor
And down below as well I suppose
We’ve been disconnecting from the world
Brushing elbows with lightning bolts
Used to make me cry
But now I’ve grown accustomed to it
A rendezvous I’ll never forget
Cuz ordering from restaurants
Keeps making my stomach turn
More than usual
But there’s nothing I’d love more than
To dance in this storm with you
Everyone will look at us
Like we’ve lost our minds
But when’s the next time that we’ll see them?
Give them a story to tell their friends
You and I are dancing queens
‘Till the end of time
Seventeen’s just the beginning
You help me keep my head from spinning
Cuz ordering from restaurants
Keeps making my stomach turn
But I’ve found I love the thrill
And there’s nothing I love more than
Dancing in this storm with you, with you
I'm dying just to go back
But I'm loving just where we're at, oh no
And I'm dying just to go back
But I'm loving just where we're at, oh no
And I'm dying just to go back
But I'm loving just where we're at, oh no
And I'm dying just to go back
But I'm loving just where we're at, oh no
