Rodeo
03:09
|
|||
|
fell out of a dream into your arms
for a moment I pretend I’m home
if I lay still enough
it almost feels like we’re in love
by now I know
this isn’t my first rodeo
by now I know
nobody wants to take it slow
and you don’t wanna be in love
means you don’t wanna be in love
with me
I’m talking so loud when I’m drunk
and I hope I didn’t say too much
you pay me compliments all night
we won’t remember by the morning light
by now I know
this is the rodeo I chose
by now I should know
not to get lost in your show
‘cause I don’t wanna be in love
means I don’t wanna be in love
with you
but I’m still here and so are you

Cross My Fingers
02:46
|
|||
|
I can’t calm down
take it all personally
do we work this out
‘cause we’re too afraid to leave?
you act so tough
while I am brokenhearted
knew it was love
before it ever started
I crossed all my fingers
I knocked on wood
I lit a candle for something good
you’d drive all day
just to see me for a night
wonder if they
know about the way we fight
I wake you up
intuition finds the reason
you won’t shut up
convince me not to leave
I cross all my fingers
I knock on wood
I light a candle for something good
I held my breath
every day for a year
the words I read
still haven’t disappeared
I stack up books
and lovers in between
the way it felt
to be trapped in our sheets
I cross all my fingers
I knock on wood
I light ten candles
I draw more cards
delete your number
I ask the stars
for something good

Ignore It
02:41
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna feel this yet
knocking on the doors in my head
pulling all the sheets off our bed
I don’t wanna feel this yet
I don’t wanna regret time we spent
kissing in the car until the song ends
I don’t wanna feel this yet
I don’t wanna miss you yet
I don’t wanna forget how we met
played at that house that got torn down
made tea and you slept on my couch
I don’t wanna miss you yet
so hold me tight so I can sleep tonight
and in the morning I will
ignore it all again
I don’t wanna give up yet
the dream I built for us in my head
a dog and pancakes in the morning
with you that didn’t seem boring
I don’t wanna give up yet
I don’t wanna miss you yet
I don’t wanna feel this yet

Get Mad
02:54
|
|||
|
always sad in the in-betweens
before the doors open
before the sun sets
before the summer
bats flew out from under the bridge
and I walked by just in time
I’m living on these little signs
believing in the magic I can find
got away but the memory remains
street signs all point out the ways
I was hurt but didn’t say
I never learned how to get mad
say it out loud
it won’t burn your mouth
say it out loud
it won’t burn you down
then cry a little, wait for the sun to come out
can’t see the stars from anywhere in this town
the moon’s the only one around
and I don’t wish as much as I used to
but I wish I could sleep like you
I never learned how to get mad
so I lie awake, lie awake
and nothing ever really goes away

Need Too Much
01:37
|
|||
|
don’t know what I need, but I need too much
are there any words that could clear this up?
could you ever hold me tight enough?
baby I don’t sleep without your touch
instead of sheep
I was counting things
I should’ve said
but I was too hurt to think
will I ever be enough for you?
staring at the doors you could walk through
for three short months, the sky’s so blue
I’m living for the highs, what else is new?
you could have anyone
at your fingertips
but baby what I want
is on your lips
do I need too much?

Work Hard
03:15
|
|||
|
they say love is a flower
I’ve heard love is a ghost
maybe love is the way
we feel when we’re home
maybe love is one moment
sometimes love is a bomb
I say love is the job
everyone wants
I know I do
and baby I’ll clock in with you
I will work hard
for our love
I can’t promise forever
even though I believe
I can’t promise you heaven
but with you I will dream
of something new
that we can build
of something true
maybe love is a battlefield
or a magnifying glass
but whatever this thing is
I just wanna make it last

IUD
02:11
|
|||
|
you said it for the first time
walking in Nashville on a Tuesday night
November, the cool breeze
grabbed my waist and smiled at me
you looked into my eyes
and fed me such pretty lies
but it doesn’t matter anymore
our dreams are washed up on the shore
I’ll keep my IUD
and you will keep on lying to me
we’re too broke to have a dog
somehow we talk about growing old
the world that you built me
I wanted so bad to believe
and I did
for a little bit
I miss the normal things you made me wanna do
cooking breakfast, making up with you
but it doesn’t matter anymore
our dreams are washed up on the shore
I’ll keep my IUD
and I’ll forget the way you kissed me

Constellations
02:05
|
|||
|
cried in a hotel wishing I was home
cried when I got back longing for the road
trying to think of ways I could miss you less
can I let my heart escape my head?
I am never writing unless
something is wrong
still I keep on hoping this is
some perfect love song
and we’ll go on and on
now that I’m all in
I never dip my toe
cause my heart just jumps
when I say go
forgot the words
to every sad song
if I tell you now
it’ll come out wrong
thinking of the stars that night
how they shone so bright
couldn’t make out constellations
lost in their light
and they went on and on

Brighton Blvd
02:57
|
|||
|
it doesn’t feel like it used to
driving down Brighton to whatever
show was happening
I can see it clear in the rear view
used to know everything about you
now you’re a picture on a screen
we’d drive around just to hang out
now I wanna tear those condos down
so at least it would look the same
I felt so free in that memory
moonlight, empty streets
You and me
I know that I could call you
we could try to talk about what’s new
what’s your job?
how are you sleeping?
who loves you?
but it wouldn’t feel like it used to
jumping the fence to that swimming pool
like anything could happen
now I live in a new town
I know someday I will miss
the way that it feels now

Truth About You
03:32
|
|||
|
know what was happening all this time
you tried to make me think it
but I wasn’t losing my mind
for months I holed up in our bed
I was messing up the covers
you were messing with my head
go back in time
tell myself to leave at the first lie
go back in time
drive myself away
I wanna scream the truth about you
I wanna scream the truth
guess I understand your jealousy
my friends weren’t the problem
you were just projecting on me
and all those times you went home early
it kills me still but at least
now I see it clearly
now I see you clearly
you should find someone less psychic than me
I’ll always miss our highs, but
I saved my life by leaving
I wasn’t losing my mind

Telescope
03:01
|
|||
|
I wanna be that picture on our wall
laughing in a photobooth
before I knew what I know now
I wanna feel that smile on my face
back when your eyes
could look at me that way
but I’m a sleepless night
unwanted firework
that keeps you up with circular fights
I cry and cry
I could’ve been the promise that you keep
a piece of cake
hands in the warm breeze
I should’ve been like that planet far away
we looked at through a telescope
distant enough to see
you’d never change
cause you’re a door shut tight
your back is turned
I shiver, waiting for the light
you never turn around
you lie and lie
I wanna be a brand new pair of shoes
a rare guitar
someone you wouldn’t do this to

On Time
02:06
|
|||
|
I’m falling for dogs on the streets again
I’m calling you and you listen
the moon is walking me home tonight
I’m starting to think everything’s all right
but I’m still fighting with my head
why do good things fill me with dread?
I wasn’t always afraid of heights
I’m a plane used to cancelled flights
but you are always on time
trying to name the color of your eyes
but they keep changing like I change my mind
and I can’t kiss you enough times
should we meet in your dreams or in mine?
