Sleepy

*contains strong language*
the rhythm of a heart that beats in threes
the world slowing down, but i can’t fall asleep
dreaming of a whole day in bed
stuck somewhere in between
“i’ll stay” and “don’t go yet”
and since we’re being honest
i don’t know how to feel
never heard a crescendo this loud in my ears
before
so soon
so stay, can we stay right here?
just this moment with souls intertwined
and the smell of you near
tell me what i’m hoping, you’ve got nowhere else to be
but here with me
be in peace
since we’re being honest
i don’t know how to feel
never heard a crescendo this loud in my ears
before
so soon
and ye maybe
we skipped a step or two
but i don’t give a fuck
cuz you’re
the first time in a while
i haven’t been
left off the hook
for far too long
just wondering
about the could have beens
and that damn poem you wrote for me’s
the first thing that’s been really good
since god knows when
since we’re being honest
i don’t know how to feel
never heard a crescendo this loud in my ears
before
so soon

Queen of Timing

i’m no queen of timing
i tell people i love them
right before they hang up
so i don’t have to hear the reply
and i’m the one
they often come to for advice
because they known i’ve got good ideals
but i've never had a love to call my own
and i’ve been known to play
all my cards too soon
and they’re so impressed by me
at least until they see
all alone in my room
writing songs at unreasonable hours of the night
is all i ever really do
ever since i was in kindergarten
and i loved a boy, whose name was sam
and he went and moved to a new town
i have always been unlucky, left behind
or simply just too afraid, without the courage to speak my mind
and i’ve been known to play
all my cards too soon
and they’re so impressed by me
at least until they see
all alone in my room
writing songs at unreasonable hours of the night
is all i ever really do
it's all i really do

Little Losses
02:25
|

i’ve heard it once, a thousand times
“you deserve better”
just a nice way of saying
maybe there’s nobody out there for you
you’ve made a fool of me
didn’t even break my heart
i’m just tired of being
knocked down before start
counting all these little losses
counting all these little losses
you say we'll still be friends
but a friend wouldn’t do this to me
i blame you
and all the times you said you cared
i see it clearly now
you want to be a better person
lucky you, because i always believe the best
you’ve made a fool of me
didn’t even break my heart
i’m just tired of being
knocked down before start
counting all these little losses
counting all these little losses
should’ve trusted my instincts
every time i think i’ve learned
but i just keep coming back
an open heart always gets burned
and they just take from you
until they’ve had their fill
then you’re discarded, disregarded
after all your guts you’ve spilled
you’ve made a fool of me
didn’t even break my heart
i’m just tired of being
knocked down before start
counting all these little losses
counting all these little losses

Pretender

would it mean something
if i leaned in closer?
too late to think
too slow to keep track
of what we’ve said
oh we shouldn’t be here
oh we shouldn’t
heavy knocking on the door
we cling for our breath
we’re safe but it’s a fallacy
i need someone
to hold on to
and tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
you’ve cast a spell on me
history means nothing
he’s a pretender
we’re all pretenders
it’s a mode of survival
oh we shouldn’t be here
oh we shouldn’t
heavy knocking on the door
i need you to promise me
i won’t be left alone
heavy breathing, we’re too close
exactly what i need
so tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
tell me, tell me he’s a pretender
tell me, tell me i’m beautiful
tell me, tell me we’re cool for tonight
tell me, tell me it’s going to be all
tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
