Lyrics:
Verse 1
I’ve been searching for meaning, I
Been lying awake at night, oh
Tryna turn reason into rhyme
But I can’t quite seem to find
Pre-chorus
The answer to set me free, know it’s somewhere inside of me
Behind my ribcage, between my teeth
In my nightmares or in my dreams
Looking for some serenity, and for now it’s a mystery, oh
But at least there’s
Chorus
Always a story to tell
Could be my own saviour, put my pen to paper
Start falling under the spell
Of winning and shame, yeah
Heartbreak and pain, and
Someday I’ll figure it out (figure it out)
I’ll stop fearing failure, become something greater
Find a way back to myself
Til then at least there’s a story, a story to tell
Verse 2
Been staying down when the times are tough
Struggling to pick myself up, oh
I’ve been so unlucky in love
Thinking maybe I’m not enough
Pre-chorus
Been lying to say I’m fine, when I can barely see the sunshine
Nostalgia making me lose my mind, I just can’t seem to get it right
Hope there’s change in the morning light
And the clouds clear from in my mind
But still, at least there’s
Chorus
Always a story to tell
Could be my own saviour, put my pen to paper
Start falling under the spell
Of winning and shame, yeah
Heartbreak and pain, and
Someday I’ll figure it out
I’ll stop fearing failure, become something greater
Find a way back to myself
Til then at least there’s a story, a story to tell
(Find a way right back to myself)
(Find a way right back to myself)
Interlude
Hope, can you tell me what you’re going to do this morning? This afternoon?
Okay, I’m going to do a show, about rollerskating. And ice-skating.
And ice-skating, and what’s the show called?
It’s called…
I don’t know where I’m going, can’t remember where I’ve been
I can’t see where I’ll end up, or if I’m wearing thin
But baby, baby, when your hands are on my skin
I know where I begin

Lyrics:
Thought you were the one for me, I did
Thought you were the one that I’d be with
Strollin’ hand in hand like little kids
Until you turned around and fucked with it
Now I can’t help but wanna be alone
Pack up my bags and walk out the door
Know that I’m about to lose this war
But I can’t remember what I been fighting for
It is love or is it something different?
Voice of caution in my eardrums, but I never listen
Opening my heart to the thing it’s missing
But I’m scared of all the hoping and the wishful thinking
‘Cause love can be a marvel but it can be vicious
Cut you til you’re bleeding without no permission
Til tears are in your eyes, love’ll blur your vision
Blur your vision
But I can’t even cry, cry
So many sleepless nights, nights
I’ve been asking myself why, why
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice, petrified
I can’t even cry
I can’t even cry
I know that one day I’ll find my feet
I’ll be with somebody who loves me
Loves me hard enough to leave me be
Who gives me the time and space to breathe
Been makin’ my peace with what the future holds
Embracing all the things that I don’t know
Everyone I’ll meet and where I’ll go
Remember what I was fighting for
If it’s love or if it’s something different
Voice of caution in my eardrums and I’ll start to listen
I’ll open my heart to the thing it’s missing I’ll stop
being scared of all the wishful thinking
‘Cause love can be a marvel but it can be vicious
Swear I’ll learn to feel again, make it my mission
Til tears are in my eyes, love will blur my vision
But for now, I
I can’t even cry, cry
So many sleepless nights, nights
I’ve been asking myself why, why, why
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice
Petrified, I can’t even cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry
I can’t even cry, cry, cry
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice
Petrified, I can’t even

Lyrics:
Sometimes I think I need a doctor, ‘cause I’ve been down A pill for
pain or maybe something softer, to straighten me out I’m looking at
the peace I’m tryna foster, and I have my doubts ‘Cause I tried to
find myself and then I lost her, so now I’m unfound
But I’ve been working through my feelings
I’m staying calm, tryna regulate my breathing
‘Fore it’s over, learn composure, start to think before I speak and
Evaluate the company I’m keeping
And I’ve been wading through the water
Remember when I talk to myself I’m somebody’s daughter
Sister, someone’s lover and so many peoples’ friend Yeah,
I’ve been tryna make amends
‘Cause I’ve been up at night, more than I’ve ever been And I’ve
been feeling right, but then it’s straight back to hell again I’ve
been putting up a fight, thought it would get better then Pretty sure
I need a cure, but don’t know if it’s magic or medicine
Sometimes I think I need religion, I’ve lost my faith In
everything, I’m looking for some wisdom so I can find my way
Yeah, I’ve been feeling insecure
‘Cause I got plenty but I’m stuck here wanting more
For more, still looking for more
(Battling my mind) and calling it a war
But I’ve been working through my feelings
Yeah I’m staying calm, tryna regulate my breathing ‘Fore it’s
over, learn composure, start to think before I speak and Evaluate
the company I’m keeping
And I’ve been wading through the water
Remember when I talk to myself I’m somebody’s daughter Sister, someone’s lover and so many peoples’ friend
Yeah, I’ve been tryna make amends
‘Cause I’ve been up at night, more than I’ve ever been And I’ve
been feeling right, but then it’s straight back to hell again I’ve
been putting up a fight, thought it would get better then Pretty sure
I need a cure, but don’t know if it’s magic or medicine
Oh, oh, no magic or medicine
oh magic or medicine
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, magic or medicine
Think I need a cure, yeah

Lyrics:
You said don’t hide, just walk in a straight line
Don’t you apologise when you’re right
You said straight spine, take one step at a time
Just keep on breathing and you’ll be fine
So I took a breath in and I let myself shout
Felt the air on my skin and let my hair down
I don’t really know if I’ll come back to this town
But at least I’m here right now
With my heart between your hands in Phoenix
Knew that I’d survive, ‘cause you made me believe it
When I’m under attack and my world feels like it’s coming to an end
You say don’t break, just bend
You say don’t break, just
So if you free fall
Can’t help but hit the wall
Promise it’s not your curtain call
Swear there’s so much more
So much that’s wonderful
And I’ll be by your side through it all
So just take a breath in, you can let yourself shout
Feel the air on your skin and let your hair down
I don’t really know if we’ll come back to this town
But at least we’re here right now
With your heart between my hands in Phoenix
Knew that we’d survive, ‘cause you made me believe it
When you’re under attack and your world feels like it’s coming to an end
I’ll say don’t break, just
With my heart in your hands spilling over
And my head resting right on your shoulder
When I’m under attack and my world feels like it’s coming to an end
You say don’t break, just bend
Bend bend
You’ll say don’t just break, just bend
Bend bend
You’ll say don’t break, just bend

Lyrics:
A hole in the head
A lump inside my throat, when I fall in your bed
Or when you fall in mine, it’s a sickness
Tryna work out if love is a weakness
A look in my eye, and bare skin on the sheets
Nothin’ else on my mind, nowhere I’d rather be
So there’s nothing left to remember
Don’t even need to try to surrender
Never been on my knees to pray
No, I’ve never believed that way
But now it’s so hard to be so damn cynical
When I’m with you it feels like a miracle
The sun will rise anyway
Even if love disappears to another place
The morning comes and we’ll find there’s another day
Can’t see it a mile away but it’s not far
And there’s so many ways to bleed
But if the pain comes, we’ll still have the poetry
If your mind changes, at least you were close to me
Once upon a time, your heart was mine
Never been on my knees to pray
No, I’ve never believed that way
But now it’s so hard to be so damn cynical
When I’m with you it feels like a miracle
Never been on my knees to pray
No, I’ve never believed that way
In anything at all, no I never thought I’d fall
So hard, so cynical
But your love is a miracle

Lyrics:
Third strike and I’m out
So sick of having all your stupid words in my mouth
Done with having to whisper while you’re screaming and shouting Yeah
Crazy it’s me that you’re doubting
But still I rise
Like a bud in the soil finding sunlight
With a breath and one look to the sky
Yeah, that’s all I need to survive, survive
That’s why I throw my hands up, arms in the air
That’s why my two-step looks so handsome, making you stare So keep your picture and your caption, ‘cause I
Don’t need no lights, camera or action
To let down my hair
You just kept holding me back
Giving me your opinion like it was fact
Kept your foot on the brake while mine was on the gas
And I’m done with that
With that
But still I rise
Like a bud in the soil finding sunlight
With a breath, and one look to the sky
Yeah, that’s all I need to survive, survive
That’s why I throw my hands up, arms in the air
That’s why my two-step looks so handsome, making you stare So keep your picture and your caption, ‘cause I
Don’t need no lights, camera or action
To let down
That’s why I throw my hands up arms in the air
That’s why my two step looks so handsome making you stare Don’t need no picture or no caption no I
Don’t need no lights, camera or action
To let down my hair
Ooh, oh I
Yeah, no lights camera or action to let down my hair
Chasing after the silver and gold
You might get the fame and the glory
But the price of you selling your soul
Is a sad fucking end to the story
And I’m still right at the start
And yes, this is just the beginning
The future’s the scariest part, but I’m living

Lyrics:
Tryna grow a thicker skin
Tryna get out this predicament I’m in
Like I don’t even know where I should begin
At the start or in the middle, a poem or the riddle
Stories are never that simple
But I’d hoped that in the pages of mine
I’d follow along and I’d find
That the stars would just always align
So typical thinking I’m wise
Tryna write about what’s in my heart (my heart)
But I don’t even know where to start
Falling over, getting battle scars
I used to think that I was so damn smart
But when I look at my old photographs
Realising how much time has passed
My hands start shaking, heart starts breaking (heart starts breaking)
Bracing myself
Cause it’s going up in flames
Getting ink stains all over my hands again
But I’ve forgotten how I used to write my name (write my name)
I guess it’s just growing pains
I guess it’s just growing pains
Sometimes I don’t think I can win (I can win)
Want independence but I’m stuck missing my kin
Out in the world on my own again
And I’ve become so fickle, always caught up in the middle
Stories are never that simple
But I’d hoped that in the pages of mine (pages of mine)
At some point I’d realise
That everything just takes some time
Just can’t handle how fast it flies
Tryna write about what’s in my heart (my heart)
But I don’t even know where to start
Falling over, getting battle scars
I used to think that I was so damn smart
But when I look at my old photographs
Realising how much time has passed
My hands start shaking, heart starts breaking (heart starts breaking, just can’t take it, going)
Bracing myself
‘Cause it’s going up in flames
Getting ink stains all over my hands again
But I’ve forgotten how I used to write my name (write my name)
I guess it’s just growing pains
I guess it’s just growing pains

Lyrics:
There’s something about you
That leaves me breathless
But I should be cautious
‘Cause sometimes I’m reckless
You light me up like that
All the things we could do
But love isn’t simple
And neither are you
And now we’re back and forth but the second you’re gone
I’m worried something isn’t right
And then I play it cool with my feelings for you
But you can’t read my mind
So you slip away, just so my heart won’t break
‘Cause it never ends if we don’t ever start
And I push away, when I wanna stay
Gotta let me know before we go too far
‘Cause I fall too hard
I fall too hard
I fall too hard, hard
I know that we just met
But I should be honest, can’t believe that you
Looked past all my mess, but when it’s intense
I get impulsive, baby
And we’re back and forth but the second you’re gone
I’m worried something isn’t right
And then I play it cool with my feelings for you
But you can’t read my mind
So you slip away, just so my heart won’t break
‘Cause it never ends if we don’t ever start
And I push away, when I wanna stay
Gotta let me know before we go too far
‘Cause I fall too hard
I fall too hard
I fall too hard, hard
We could keep it this way but it’s not enough
And we both know that I’ll never give you up
Just be patient with me ‘cause I’m bad at love, ‘cause I’m bad at love, oh oh
We could keep it this way but it’s not enough
And we both know that I’ll never give you up
Just be patient with me cause I’m bad at love
Now I’m right on the edge and I’m burning up
Slip away (keep it this way, but it’s not enough) just so my heart won’t break
Cause it never ends if we don’t ever start
And I push away (keep it this way, but it’s not enough)
When I wanna stay
Gotta let me know before we go too far
‘Cause I fall too hard
I fall too hard
I fall too hard, hard

Lyrics:
World still
Turning
And still I’m faltering
And I’m so afraid
I’ll run out of time
Don’t know whether to let go, or hold on tight
Then I feel you
Holding me up, pulling me in
You’re lighting up everything
Impossible love, it’s sweet medicine
Til I find my way again
When I feel broken and stuck, you hold out your hands and then
And then, just for a heartbeat, I stop thinking about the end
I’m still
Learning
And still I’m losing me, myself and I
I cover my face
I fight with my mind
Don’t know how to change the way I feel inside
But then I feel you
Holding me up, pulling me in
You’re lighting up everything
Impossible love, a sweet medicine
Til I find my way again
When I feel broken and stuck, you hold out your hands and then
And then, just for a heartbeat, I stop thinking about the end
‘Cause I feel you
Holding me up and you’re pulling me in
And you’re lighting up everything
Impossible love, a sweet medicine
Til I find my way again
When I feel broken and stuck, you hold up your hands and then
And then, just for a heartbeat, I stop thinking about the end
I stop thinking about the end, about the end
About the end, I stop thinking about the end
The end, thinking about the end, end
Heartbeat, I stop thinking about the end

Lyrics:
I let myself get carried away
Rule book out of the front door
Never felt this lost before you came along
I always have something to say
But I can’t find the words no more
Head and heart are waging war, I can’t explain
How I feel when I’m lying in your bed
But I know that I’m not using my head
And my body gets weak in the silence
Yeah, I wish it could all be so simple
As our feelings being reciprocal
Tryna find common ground in the middle
But I’m so used to acting on impulse
Jumping the gun for you
But I’ve got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I’ll always be stuck with this wound
Maybe I should start giving you space
When I’m too close it hurts me more
But far away I start to fall
I can’t win, either or
I guess that I’ll be taking the blame
For being irresponsible
What did I do that for?
So surreal when I’m lying in your bed
But I know that I’m not using my head
And my body gets weak in the silence
Yeah, I wish it could all be so simple
As our feelings being reciprocal
Tryna find common ground in the middle
But I’m so used to acting on impulse
Jumping the gun for you
But I’ve got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I’ll always be stuck with this wound
Jumping the gun for you
But I’ve got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I’ll always be stuck with this wound
Jumping the gun for you
But I’ve got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I’ll always be stuck with…

Lyrics:
It can be complicated, when two hearts collide
And you’re terrified, trying so hard to survive
But we keep on chasing, running through the night Even
when we’re dead inside, don’t stop til we get it right
Til the stars come down, until we are found
By someone who sees past it all
Do you feel it now?
Yeah, I’m screaming out to fall
And then I breathe you in, we’re skin to skin
Like perfect harmony
Then you’re making me shiver, making me shiver so desperately
Think this is love, it’s got to be
And there’s so much potential for love to disappear
Trying to evade the tears, make it last another year But
maybe it gets simple when you surrender to the sound The
sound
Til the stars come down, until we are found
By someone who sees past it all
Do you feel it now?
Yeah, I’m screamin’ out to fall
And then I breathe you in, we’re skin to skin
Like perfect harmony
Then you’re making me shiver, making me shiver so desperately
Think this is love, it’s got to be
I breathe you in, we’re skin to skin
Like perfect harmony
Then you’re making me shiver, making me shiver so desperately
Think this is love, it’s got to be
I think this is love, it’s got to be
I think this is love, it’s got to be
I think this is love, it’s got to be
I think this is love, it’s got to be
And then I breathe you in, we’re skin to skin
Like perfect harmony
Then you’re making me shiver, making me shiver so desperately
Think this is love, it’s got to be
I breathe you in, we’re skin to skin
Like perfect harmony
Then you’re making me shiver, making me shiver so desperately
Think this is love, it’s got to be

Lyrics:
Turning all your words to weapons
When I’m only asking questions
I waved my flag, ‘cause loving you is war
At first the drama thrilled me
But I just can’t let it kill me, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
And I know you don’t wanna listen
But you’ve missed the definition
‘Cause you can’t use love to justify the pain
I knew it might get messy
When we both felt so intensely
Yeah, we said we’d never felt this way before
But you know, none of this will matter
If you’re tryna leave me shattered, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
And I know you don’t wanna listen
But you’ve missed the definition
‘Cause you can’t use love to justify the pain, pain
So none of this will matter
If you’re tryna leave me shattered, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for
At first the drama thrilled me
But I just can’t let it kill me, baby
Breaking isn’t what a heart is for

Lyrics:
I swear I try to be good, must be misunderstood
Always do what I’m told
I swear I try to be holy, they just don’t know me
Here’s how it goes
First thing, I confess to my sins, promise to start healing
Start fighting this compulsion off me
Second, I’ll try to repent
Close my eyes, count back from ten
But then you’re running through my mind again
‘Cause I’m still out here riding shotgun
Letting the taste of you just sit on my tongue
And I know I should get a new one
But I’m still praying to my bad love god
Love god, love god
Yeah, I’m still praying to my bad love god
Love god, love god, love god
Yeah, I’m still praying to my bad love
This is dangerous faith, but I swear that I’ll change
Place my hand on my heart, my heart
This is just bad religion, but I’ll make it my mission
To find a new start
First thing, I’ll confess to my sins, promise to start healing
Start fighting this compulsion off me
Second, I’ll try to repent
Close my eyes, count back from ten
But then you’re running through my mind again
‘Cause I’m still out here riding shotgun
Letting the taste of you just sit on my tongue
And I know I should get a new one
But I’m still praying to my bad love god
Love god, love god
Yeah, I’m still praying to my bad love god
Love god, love god, love god
Yeah I’m still praying to my bad love god
Praying to my bad love god, saying that I’m not in love
Holy water on my tongue, but I got you in my blood
Praying to my bad love god, praying to my bad love god
Got you running through my blood, got you running through my blood
Praying to my bad love god, saying that I’m not in love
Holy water on my tongue, but I got you in my blood Praying
to my bad love god, praying to my bad love god Got
you running through my blood, got you running through my blood
Oh, bad love god
Oh, bad love god
Love god, love god, love god

Lyrics:
Ooh
Ooh
Once upon a time, that’s how it all begins
With water, bone, blood and skin
Two open eyes, here we go again
The start is always innocent
And then comes life
Yeah, then comes pain
Sun is out then it starts to rain
But the sun comes back again
We open the door, choices must be made
And we start hoping for more, cos how much more can we take
Don’t know what I’m living for, and I can’t even explain myself
Got nothing else to say
Got nothing else to say
Acting like we’re fine, when we’re walking a tightrope
Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle
And sometimes you cry, while you’re holding the high note And
that’s what I know of survival
Yeah, ‘cause it feels like a waste
Know we need different, but we struggle to change
We end up staying the same
Make an effort for a couple of days
Then turn around and see we’re stuck in our ways
I started slipping away
Saw what happened when I started to break
Spent too much time tryna work out what to say
Couldn’t help hiding my face
Hid my spirit, but not anymore
‘Cause I stopped running and decided to stay
We open the door, choices must be made
And we start hoping for more, cos how much more can we take
Don’t know what I’m living for, and I can’t even explain myself
Got nothing else to say
Got nothing else to say
Acting like we’re fine, when we’re walking a tightrope
Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle
And sometimes you cry, while you’re holding the high note
And that’s what I know of survival
‘Cause when water ain’t wine, sometimes it feels like it’s final
But this life is mine, so I’m gonna do it right
And maybe sometimes I cry, while I’m holding the high note But
that’s what I know of survival
Ooh
Ooh
Once upon a time, my people came on ships
Tied up in chains, there was no choice to it
And now I write, watching the pages rip
Must admit I can’t help wondering
Wondering why I’m stuck on my own suffering?
Hmm, mmm
What do I know of survival?
What do I know of survival?
What do I know of survival?
What do I know? What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know of survival?
What do I know? What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know of survival?

Lyrics:
All my friends said I would cry, but I still haven’t yet I’m a little
bit surprised that I’m wishing you the best When I think of your
true colours, doesn’t even make me shudder Crazy we were so in
love, now I couldn’t care less
I thought it would kill me if I cut you out
You had me convinced, oh
But when I look back at the picture now
All I really think is
Thank goodness, I really dodged a bullet
Thank goodness, not in it, yeah, I’m through it
Thank goodness, thought I’d go back but I didn’t do it
Thank goodness
Who’d have thought that I’d be grateful that you’re hitting new lows
Cos you helped me find a way to make it easy to go
So you can do what you do keep on makin’ your scenes That says more about
you
Than it says about me
Thank goodness, I really dodged a bullet
Thank goodness, not in it, yeah, I’m through it
Thank goodness, thought I’d go back but I didn’t do it
Thank goodness
Thank goodness, I’m happy ‘cause I choose it
Thank goodness, I stopped makin’ excuses
Thank goodness, thought I’d go back but I didn’t do it
Thank goodness
So you can do what you do, keep on makin’ your scenes
That says more about you
Than it says about me
I thought it would kill me if I cut you out
All I really think is
Thank goodness, I really dodged a bullet
Thank goodness, not in it, yeah, I’m through it

Lyrics:
I had no choice, she got under my skin
Couldn’t help but let my head spin
Wondering where the hell she’d been
Got me praying and singing hymns
I’m not the nervous type, but she made me shy
A girl so fine, guess I forgot that I was traumatised
Was just another night, til she looked in my eyes
In my eyes
My oh my, feel like I could fly
Fly, oh
My oh my, still I don’t know why
She’s on my mind all day
Been so hard to concentrate
I’m letting her take up all my time
Wondering if she could save me,
Starting to drive me crazy,
Starting to make me lose my mind
I’m sick and tired of waiting,
So hard to concentrate
I’m letting her take up all my time
She gon’ fuck around and break me
Starting to drive me crazy
Starting to make me lose my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind
See, joy can come after pain
And sunshine began with rain
Felt blood rushing to my veins
The moment you told me your name, oh
I know I fall too fast, guilty of feeling too much Get myself
in trouble with my heart broke and my hopes up But I got
no expectations this time
Just trust and some patience
My oh my, feel like I could fly
Fly, oh
My oh my, still I don’t know why
She’s on my mind all day
Been so hard to concentrate
I’m letting her take up all my time
Wondering if she could save me
Starting to drive me crazy
Starting to make me lose my mind
I’m sick and tired of waiting
So hard to concentrate
I’m letting her take up all my time
She gon’ fuck around and break me
Starting to drive me crazy
Starting to make me lose my mind
She’s on my mind all day
Been so hard to concentrate
I’m letting her take up all my time
Wondering if she could save me
Starting to drive me crazy
Starting to make me lose my mind
I’m sick and tired of waiting,
So hard to concentrate, I’m
Letting her take up all my time
She gon’ fuck around and break me
Starting to drive me crazy
Starting to make me lose my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind

Lyrics:
Verse 1
You said don’t hide, just walk in a straight line
Don’t you apologise when you’re right
You said straight spine, take one step at a time
Just keep on breathing and you’ll be fine
Pre-chorus
So I took a breath in and I let myself shout
Felt the air on my skin and let my hair down
I don’t really know if I’ll come back to this town
But at least I’m here right now (right now)
Chorus
With my heart between your hands in Phoenix
Knew that I’d survive, ‘cause you made me believe
it
When I’m under attack and my world feels like it’s
coming to an end
You say don’t break, just bend
You say don’t break, just
Verse 2
So if you free fall (free fall)
Can’t help but hit the wall (the wall)
Promise it’s not your curtain call (no)
Swear there’s so much more
So much that’s wonderful
And I’ll be by your side through it all (all)
Pre-chorus
So just take a breath in, you can let yourself shout
Feel the air on your skin and let your hair down
(hair down)
I don’t really know if we’ll come back to this town
But at least we’re here right now (right now)
Chorus
With your heart between my hands in Phoenix
Knew that we’d survive, ‘cause you made me
believe it
When you’re under attack and your world feels like
it’s coming to an end (coming to an end)
I’ll say don’t break, just
With my heart in your hands spilling over (over)
And my head resting right on your shoulder
When I’m under attack and my world feels like it’s
coming to an end
You say don’t break, just bend
Bend (bend) bend (bend)
You’ll say don’t just break, just bend
Bend (bend) bend
You’ll say don’t break, just bend

I swear I tried to be good
Must be misunderstood
Always do what I'm told
I swear I tried to be holy
They just don't know me
Here's how it goes (Here's how it goes)
First thing, I'll confess to my sins
Promise to start healing
Start fighting this compulsion off me
Second, I'll try to repent
Close my eyes, count back from ten
But then you're running through my mind again (Again)
'Cause I'm still out here riding shotgun
Letting the taste of you just sit on my tongue (My tongue)
And I know I should get a new one
But I'm still praying to my bad love god
Love god (Oh), lovе god
Yeah, I'm still praying to my bad love god (Oh)
Love god, lovе god, love god
Yeah, I'm still praying to my bad love
[Verse 2]
This is dangerous faith
But I swear that I'll change
Place my hand on my heart, my heart
This is just bad religion
But I'll make it my mission
To find a new start (Ah)
[Chorus]
First thing, I'll confess to my sins
Promise to start healing
Start fighting this compulsion off me
Second, I'll try to repent
Close my eyes, count back from ten
But then you're running through my mind again (Again)
'Cause I'm still out here riding shotgun
Letting the taste of you just sit on my tongue (My tongue)
And I know I should get a new one
But I'm still praying to my bad love god
Love god (Oh), love god
Yeah, I'm still praying to my bad love god (Oh)
Love god, love god, love god
Yeah, I'm still praying to my bad love
[Bridge]
Praying to my bad love god
Saying that I'm not in love (Saying that I'm not in)
Holy water on my tongue
But I got you in my blood
Praying to my bad love god
Praying to my bad love god (Praying to my bad love god)
Got you running through my blood
Got you running through my blood
Praying to my bad love god
Saying that I'm not in love (Bad love god)
Holy water on my tongue
But I got you in my blood
Praying to my bad love god
Praying to my bad love god (Bad love god)
Got you running through my blood
Got you running through my blood

Lyrics:
Thought you were the one for me, I did
Thought you were the one that I’d be with
Strollin’ hand in hand like little kids
Until you turned around and fucked with it
Now I can’t help but wanna be alone
Pack up my bags and walk out the door
Know that I’m about to lose this war
But I can’t remember what I been fighting for
It is love or is it something different?
Voice of caution in my eardrums but I never listen
Opening my heart to the thing it’s missing
But I’m scared of all the hoping and the wishful thinking
Cos love can be a marvel but it can be vicious
Cut you til you’re bleeding without no permission
Til tears are in your eyes, love’ll blur your vision
Blur your vision
But I can’t even cry, cry
So many sleepless nights, nights
I’ve been asking myself why, why
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice
Petrified, I can’t even cry
Cry, I can’t even cry
I know that one day I’ll find my feet
I’ll be with somebody who loves me
Loves me hard enough to leave me be
Who gives me the time and space to breathe
Been makin’ my peace with what the future holds
Embracing all the things that I don’t know
Everyone I’ll meet and where I’ll go
Remember what I was fighting for
If it’s love or if it’s something different
Voice of caution in my eardrums and I’ll start to listen
I’ll open my heart to the thing it’s missing
I’ll stop being scared of all the wishful thinking
Cos love can be a marvel but it can be vicious
Swear I’ll learn to feel again, make it my mission
Til tears are in my eyes, love will blur my vision
But for now, I
I can’t even cry, cry
So many sleepless nights, nights
I’ve been asking myself why, why
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice
Petrified, I can’t even cry
Cry, I can’t even cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry
I can’t even cry, cry, cry
As hard as I try, I’m as cold as ice
Petrified, I can’t even

Lyrics:
One day we’ll all be gone No trace left of this song You and me
Ashes and dust
All that’s left of us
And that’s been on my mind No answers there to find Silly me
Thinking too much
There’s no medicine
To put inside our cups
To keep us here long enough but
I’d like to __ to find out
So I’ll just stay at the party
Dance till my feet hurt
Tell all my friends I love them for no reason Just know that one day
When I’m not there __
They might remember tonight it’s alright Cause we stayed at the party
Maybe I’ve got it wrong
I know something else beyond It’ll be you and I together again ___ by our sides (our sides)
It’s been on my mind (my mind) We’re running out of time
Silly me
Can’t get it right (Can’t get it right)
There’s no medicine
To put inside our cups
To keep us here long enough but
I’d like to __ to find out
So I’ll just stay at the party
Dance till my feet hurt
Tell all my friends I love them for no reason Just know that one day
When I’m not there
They might remember tonight it’s alright
Cause we stayed at the party
The time will come when I’m alone Flying somewhere never to return No, no
Will I have my memories of home Will i be scared of the unknown Who knows
Who knows
So I’ll just stay at the party
Smile till my cheeks hurt
Tell all my friends I love them for no reason Just so that one day
When I’m not there
They will remember tonight it’s alright cause I stayed

Lyrics:
Step to the left, boy your girls left but you said you wanna stay
So you step to the right acting real shy cause you gave your heart away
Then you take it on back feelings on track cause, you don’t know what to say
Come on move it in closer everyone know how you’re feeling baby Oooo
The night is young, and baby so are you
Let’s have some fun I promise there’s no rules (oooo) Don’t let nobody tell you what to do
When you groove
So come on leave it on the dance floor
Leave your worries all behind and let the night take the pain away
Come on leave it on the dance floor
move your body close to mine yeah, it’s alright Just let the night, take the pain away
I know you been having all of this heartache
and you need somebody who can show you a party I’ve been there too
Yeah, I’m jealous like you
If you kiss me, you got nothing to lose
You know that ooooo
The night is young, and baby so are you
Let’s have some fun I promise there’s no rules (oooo) Don’t let nobody tell you what to do
When you groove
So come on leave it on the dance floor
Leave your worries all behind and let the night take the pain away
Come on leave it on the dance floor

Lyrics
I know I care about peace, know I care about black power
Fewer police, more poetry and more flowers
Shout when I speak, I couldn’t get any louder
Cause I know that I’m free, no use being a coward I care about love and I think it’s the reason
That we’ll rise above all the violence and cheating
Yeah it’s in our blood, all of this love
But is it enough
To know what we’re fighting for
To know what we’re fighting for
When we can’t break down the door
Least we know what we’re fighting for
I think we should all be a little more tender
Should love who we want to, regardless of gender
And be who we are, shouldn’t have to pretend and
Women should rise up and never surrender
Hope that one day we’ll protect one another
Put down our blades and start loving each other
Is there a way we can stop running for cover?
Is it enough
To know what we’re fighting for
To know what we’re fighting for
When we can’t break down the door
Least we know what we’re fighting for
Cause every time that I turn on the news
A different rhythm a similar tune
Got me thinking, what is there to do?
Cause I know courage isn’t bullet proof
But every time I look up at the moon
I know the power is ours to use
We might stumble but we’ll never lose
I care about love and I know it’s the reason
That we’ll rise above the violence and cheating
It’s in our blood, all of this love But is it enough?

Lyrics
You keep coming closer to me or is it in my head, just some wishful thinking? Probably not anybody’s business what we do with all our time
Dancing, drinking and causing mischief, off the malbec that shit’s delicious Can’t make promises that I’ll behave this time
Causing drama, I know I should be smarter Than that, don’t want bad karma
But it’s getting harder and harder not to come down with party sickness Yeah that party sickness
Sometimes I get that party sickness, I got party sickness It’s my fault, cause I always listen
Yeah I always listen, to the devil on my shoulder Yeah I just come down with
Watching people messing around Music thumping, getting too loud Floorboards shaking, I feel the sound Carry my feet up off the ground
Hand on my back guiding me through the crowd of faces straight back to you Of all the places I could make a scene
This one will do
Causing drama
I know I should be smarter
Than that, don’t want bad karma
But it’s getting harder and harder not to come down with party sickness Yeah, that party sickness
Sometimes I get that party sickness, I got party sickness It’s my fault, cause I never listen
No I never listen, to the angel on my shoulder Yeah I just come down with
I just come down with I just come down with I just come down with I just come down with Causing drama, I know I should be smarter
Than that, don’t want bad karma
But it’s getting harder and harder not to come down with Party sickness, yeah that party sickness
Sometimes I get that party sickness, I got party sickness It’s my fault, cause I always listen
Yeah I always listen, to the devil on my shoulder Yeah I just come down with

Yeah, party sickness Party sickness

Lyrics:
How you gonna make me do this dance again? We’re getting closer but we’re trying to be friends If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
When we met I wasn’t interested, I did half a glance, didn’t want to chance it Now I lie awake and I think about you
Because there’s a moral to this story but I don’t know it Always listen to myself but not this time I guess,
Keep on running from it, but I want it, I do
How you gonna make me do this dance again? We’re getting closer but we’re trying to be friends If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels cause I just can’t walk away,
Fantasising if you want to you could stay, and be my baby but our hearts might break So we keep tiptoeing
It’s forbidden but I still want you
I wanna taste the fruit, but I just can’t chance it So much at risk and I’m scared to lose
And there’s a moral to the story but I’ve lost my head There’s a million different secrets we should leave unsaid Should be running from it, but I want it, I do
How you gonna make me do this dance again? We’re getting closer but we’re trying to be friends If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels cause I just can’t walk away
Fantasising if you want to you could stay, and be my baby but our hearts might break So we keep tiptoeing
Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know, both know there’s too much to lose
How you gonna make me do this dance again? We’re getting closer but we’re trying to be friends If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
I drag my heels cause I just can’t walk away,
Fantasising if you want to you could stay, and be my baby but our hearts might break So we keep tiptoeing
Tiptoes, tiptoes, you got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know, both know there’s too much to lose
