Broadway 02:29
Listless, I'm standing out on broadway, wishing on the stars to guide me back To when I knew how to love and give back Always told Myself I wanted, more than superficial things, but now- I just want some likes and someone to scratch my back, but she won't text back. And I'm tearing up my posters swearing this will be the last time, wishing on a star that never answers back I never slept sound those nights Sometimes I think its me and myself, destined to parade across these roads, but my Dad tells me I can come home... Its good to know I'm guarded but walls I build just keep out all the love I want from you; I refuse to give up I'll save, my best for you; Just like when we both were kids and talked about our dreams, like we had nothing standing in our fated ways, I think I slept sound those nights Thinking now its time to let go Not stuck thinking of old times But I need a compass showing me the way The way towards you, towards the light; the way towards you, towards the light Listless, standing out on Broadway, wishing on the stars to guide me back, to when I knew how to love and give back.

Burdened by my sense of wonder how do I explain these things I could try but I'll just show you, downtown lights with backroad dreams Got a curiosity that kills me every other day Made a pass at you last month just crossed my mind hope you're ok These words I mean and mean to tell you, Never got around to that One day I'll tell you the song, That brings me back to when, We met... On my way to irresponsible parties Vision fizzles it all starts to get choppy Did you know that I have my own heartbeat, in a box, ball and chained up With a key dangling on baited breath Now I'm staring in a mirror taking all my creases in Starting to love all my cracks and thinking about letting you in These words I mean and mean to tell you, Never got around to that One day I'll tell you the song, That brings me back to when, We met... On my way to irresponsible parties Vision fizzles it all starts to get choppy Did you know that I have my own heartbeat, in a box, ball and chained up With a key dangling on baited breath You see me, see you, see it all, see your truth You don't want to waste time, just be you, you'll be fine X2 God I wish someone would just stop me (stop me) From keeping this love I feel halted Far past due this month to have lost it, But here you are in the flesh and I can't help but feel anew Give me time its within my skills maybe God since childhood I always was crazy, Oh But the best minds are those that go chasing All the views, that people choose to pass by, girl we see it all All, oh Oh, oh, oh Hoh, oh, oh Oh, oh oh

Inspiration 04:37
Once there, was a friend in me to guide you That face, got lost in all the untruth That's alright, I'm doing fine, I'm doing fine That's alright, I'll wait till our time is right If I could, be with you on State Street You'd see how far you're looking past me Thats alright, I'm doing fine I'm doing fine That's alright, I'll wait till our time is right That's alright I'm doing fine I'm doing fine Oh I see you living you're an inspiration And just know one day I'll be ready for your love I hit rock bottom I drove you far from me But I'm on my way back my way back home Good for seeing not talking I should talk to you more often Thats alright, I'm doing fine I'm doing fine Thats alright, I'll wait till our time is right That's alright, I'm doing fine I'm really doing fine Oh I see you living you're an inspiration And just know one day I'll be ready for your love I hit rock bottom I drove you far from me But I'm on my way back, my way back I've been thinking I've been sleeping on things Think its time we test the waters I see you living You beautiful woman I think you're an angel sent from heaven to help us believe Oh I hit the bottom I pushed it all so far away But I hear the calls of life their re-inviting me I see you living you're an inspiration And just know one day I'll be ready for your love I hit rock bottom I drove far from me But on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way back home I see you living you're an inspiration And just know one day I'll be ready for your love I hit rock bottom I drove it all so far away But I'm on my way, I'm on my way I'm on my way back home !!!

Goosebumps 04:31
Laying on a bed of corn and blankets We don't need to compensate Tilt your head towards me and ask me where I want to Be in ten years from now You wanna be my first love In the worst way I love looking at your face Firing up these highways in my body Ain't no stopping don't slow down Lets get together and fall in love Hasn't happened in long enough Theres something special about your touch Gives me goosebumps, gives me goosebumps And I'm just saying this could be the day That it all comes together Time is just a word forget what they say It really gets better it really gets better You just gotta believe Heartland is rolling by our window It feels good girl to have you next to me Tired of singing to these muted starlights Could this be really what it seems You wanna be my first love In the worst way I love looking at your face Firing up these highways in my body Ain't no stopping don't slow down oh no Lets get together and fall in love Hasn't happened in long enough Theres something special about your touch Gives me goosebumps, gives me goosebumps And I'm just saying this could be the day That it all comes together Time is just a word forget what they say It really gets better it really gets better You just gotta believe Oh its not the life they want for us to take But whose to tell us how to live Shook the cobwebs off my ego, let that fly Now we laugh so hard we cry Lets get together and fall in love Hasn't happened in long enough Theres something special about your touch Gives me goosebumps, gives me goosebumps I'm just saying this could be the day It all comes together, Time is just a word forget what they say it really gets better it really gets better You just gotta believe I think its time we fall in love Oh please Think its time we fall in love, love, love Come on baby I think its time we fall in love Lets get together and fall in love, hasn't happened in long enough Oh something special oh something special about your touch Enough is enough

Fireflies 05:06
One day is all it took to begin Won't you service me to sleep I'd love a gentle hum to keep Bandits with our hands both free One day I'll come back you know that, oh they say Grab your money talk is free I love you but this climb is steep With hands I'd venture toward the deep All the money that the world gets to give away Grab a glass this ones one me Fireflies that yearn to light the way All my ghosts rush in and greet you here, you are my tower Point your toes, like a dancer your body shows Poise like its had lifetimes here I called out to a puppeteer disappointed turned and ran from fear I never looked back All the money that the world gets to give away Grab a glass this ones one me Fireflies that yearn to light the way All my ghosts rush in and greet you here, you are my tower Its not so empty like you tried to tell me just last night Feelings spun into webs harden we lose our will to flight All the money that the world gets to give away Grab a glass this ones one me Fireflies that yearn to light the way All my ghosts rush in and greet you here, you are my tower Ohhh All the money that the world gets to give away Grab a glass this ones one me Fireflies that yearn to light the way All my ghosts rush in and greet you here, you are my tower Fireflies that yearn to light the way All my ghosts rush in and greet you here, you are my tower

They say it takes the legs under you time to feel like running Wiped that frown up off my face dreams take money do they do they Uh huh-----Yee-haw ONE TWO THREE ONE TWO THREE FOUR Bored we don't talk as much, but scared to fuck it up when we do What I can't change is what you hate But you want me to break through And I hold on The clock is ticking water running And I don't want to believe this ended we can still be friends Oh, oh, oh Heaven knows What I got in my bones You won't wait I'll sweep you off your feet I promise this Well i know its only words but now we're touching He's not here, I'm not staying the night Truth is I think you're amazing just the way you are Your eyes look up from jet black lashes baby I'm on fire And I hold on The clock is ticking water running And I don't want to believe this ended we can still be friends Oh, oh, oh Heaven knows What I got in my bones You won't wait I'll sweep you off your feet I promise this Well i know its only words but now we're touching He's not here, I'm not staying the night Hey baby do you want somewhere to stand Hey baby do you know your land Do you care to dance (two, one, three, four, two-two..one (three four five six seven eight nine..))

Every night I lay awake and feel the shadow cross my face I wonder, will I ever have someone to lay next to I got baggage but I'm not the type to put that Shit on you Why not just find someone who takes away the pain Oh, we're farther from that life we chose Oh, we're loving less thats not right you know I wanna let you into my mind let you take it over I wanna let you into my mind let you take it Ooo X2 Mark my words like treasure chests on dried out maps displaying quests We only have 50 more years to make the most Laying shirtless in the sun oh midday heat can make you hungry for Every pretty person that walks on near you Oh, we're farther from that life we chose Oh, we're loving less thats not right you know I wanna let you into my mind let you take it over I wanna let you into my mind let you take it Ooo X2 Our hearts went cold life sucks grow old Thats what they tell you, thats what they tell you Me you no way, what's more to say Kiss me we'll melt away I wanna let you into my mind let you take it over I wanna let you into my mind let you take it Ooo X4

Tangerines 05:16
Some days I just wanna break love Some days I just wanna shine, shine, shine But all the days that I can take love, are none without you by my side side side I'll live with open arms I wanna know can our hearts still go this far If I had to say the worst ways, that you made peace with me again, -gain, -gain Loving flickers of a birthplace cast shadows of a man I'll live a wordless life to save us one last goodbye I wanna give I'll stay for this Its not staying in my head, in my head no more Your love is sweet like Tangerines No chance staying incomplete No first to swing uh uh Bet on my life not on my first name It took a lot to make this work Oh, oh, ooo But I might not be the best one to stake claim On a first that nearly made us cry I'll walk your worried heart straight to the door My hand on yours I wanna give I'll stay for this Its not staying in my head, in my head no more Your love is sweet like Tangerines No chance its staying incomplete No first to swing uh uh If all the fires in the world burnt out I could make you forget I wanna give I'll stay for this Its not staying in my head, in my head no more Your love is sweet like Tangerines No chance I'll keep this incomplete No first to swing uh uh I wanna give I'll stay for this No chance its staying in my head, in my head no no Your love is sweet like Tangerines I'll make sure that this stays with me, stays with me this stays Your the girl of my dreams
