Make You Smile
03:45
|
|||
What will it take just for a chance
To show you what I'm all about?
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile
So it begins with mutual friends, parties, and eye contact
Too nervous to make a move; I’m so happy that you came along and-
An introduction made me reluctant to leave
'Cause all I wanted to do was continue keeping you company
A few words exchanged, so many things in common
Can I just say my mind was made from that second and—
I think you're so cool and you're so cute
And I hope that I can see you again
But if you've got doubts I understand, can you just answer me this?
What will it take just for a chance
To show you what I’m all about?
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile
As the months persisted,
I think I missed my chance
Somewhere along the way
Your hand in mine,
It felt so right,
What can I do to make you stay?
Now I’m taking the time to map out a plan
'Cause I know what I want and nothing can stand in my way
So Wake up! Wake up! Can't you see we're overdue?
For some downtime, I’ve been dying to reach you
And ask you…
What will it take just for a chance?
To show you what I’m all about
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile

Our Numbered Days
03:33
|
|||
I told you years ago
That if you ever left, your scent would be what I’d miss most
But I didn’t know
How honest that would be
Cause now you’re back again,
It’s like we’re living in twenty thirteen
Right now you’re coming home with me
And I don’t regret a thing
Take you back to my apartment, lets relive these moments
The good ones from our past
Get the keys into the door, pin me up against the wall
Can I have this one last dance?
Cause I know our numbered days are running out
So lets enjoy them while we can
I can’t tell you how nice it is to see you again
But with the comfort in familiar
The ice is getting thinner
Keep a light on when you leave
Just in case that you decide that you’ve got more time to have one more dance with me
They say after seven years,
You shed your old skin
Reveal a second layer,
One you would’ve never touched
I can’t imagine a piece of my skin that you haven’t
I guess I don’t have to think that much
You know my door is always open
We could live inside these moments
Don’t need to think about what comes next
Lets just enjoy this time together
I know that we don’t have forever
But at least now we’ve got another chance
And I know our numbered days are running out
So lets enjoy them while we can
I can’t tell you how nice it is to see you again
But with the comfort in familiar
The ice is getting thinner
Keep a light on when you leave
Just in case that you decide that you’ve got more time to have one more dance with me
C’mon, c’mon
C’mon, c’mon
C’mon just one more dance with me?
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
C’mon
Keep the light on when you leave

Lay It On Me
04:13
|

I don’t like this distance
You seem so content with it
But I just want to see you
I just want to know that you care
I just want to hold you
As if nobody else is there
So baby won’t you tell me whats going on in your chest
And don’t hold back on me
Unleash your vulnerability, let it bring you to your knees
My darling you can have my hand to help you up
I wont let you fall all on your own
You can have my tongue twisted words
Cause you cause all the lumps inside my throat
Push your body up against me
God, you make me so nervous
I feel it in my gut
I don’t want to know how many other people you’ve got this fucked up
I don’t want to be another number, another statistic, a notch on your bed frame
I just want to be the one name you overhear that makes you feel differently
Darling lay it on me
Come clean to me, let me read your body
Want to see you dance in the dark
Close my eyes so that I can’t see
Interpreting braille from your goosebumps
With my fingertips, pressing on your skin
Your legs wrapped around my torso
Our tongues tangoing in unison
Keep our secrets in the shadows
So baby wont you tell me whats going on in your chest
And don’t hold back on me
Unleash the vulnerability, let it bring you to your knees
Darling you can have my hand to help you up
I wont let you fall all on your own
You can have my tongue twisted words
Cause you cause all the lumps inside my throat so
Push your body up against me
God you make me so nervous
I feel it in my gut
I don’t want to know how many other girls you've got this fucked up
I don’t want to be another number, another statistic, a notch on your bed frame
I just want to be the one name that you overhear that makes you feel differently
Darling lay it on me

Still
03:15
|
|||
Sometimes, I feel my hands begin to tremble
Only happens when she leaves again
And there are nights that I’m reaching for you body
But I get wrinkled sheets instead
Still I
Just want to keep round because there’s
Still time
For us
Lay still
And I will build you a home wrapped inside my arms
There’s still time
For us
Heavy heart
It only happens when you’re leaving
But it’s weightless when you decide to stick around
Love, a conceptualization of a feeling
I think that there’s still time for us
There’s still time for us
There is still time for us
There is still time for us
There is still time for us
Heavy heart
It only happens when you’re leaving
But it’s weightless when you decide to stick around
Love, a conceptualization of a feeling
I think that there’s still time for us
There’s still time for us
(Just want to keep ‘round because there’s still time for us)
There is still time for us
There is still time for us
(I’ll build you a home wrapped inside my arms)
There is still time for us

As I swipe through the shallow truths of my depleted energy
I can’t lie, I see a few people I’d never want you to meet
Cause they’ve got eyes a little brighter then mine
Genuine smiles and fit bodies
I wouldn’t want them to take your attention away from me
Cause I know, I know, I know, I know
I got so many imperfections
And I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so
So bad at connection
But I got something in me for you
I feel like we got a little more work to do
So tell me when the timings right
So I can move closer
Cause I want you more and more each day
But you keep pushing forward
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t you say goodbye
If anything just say “see you later”
And ring my phone when the timings right
So we can progress to be something greater
Until then, guess I’ll see you later
See you later

Two Strangers
05:09
|
|||
Colour me melancholy
Like the sweetest sound of the saddest song
My mood lives in minor key
Ever since you moved on
I’ve been towing the lines of progress
Its just been flirting with disaster
I could never
Give my heart to someone
When my minds already made
I tried to walk away
Unsuccessfully
Give myself to someone new
But you have whatever’s left of me
So can we go back to my apartment
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Two strangers who never saw this coming
(Oh no)
A twist of fate, out of all the chances
We didn’t take, I found us dancing
In my living room, I think I knew you
Before we ever even met
We were nothing but a seed
Hidden between all the dirt and the weeds
Water me with your conversation
I feel a sense of familiarity
At the root of it all
We bloomed into something beautiful
I never stood as tall as I did
Until the moment you walked beside me and held my hand
Where did we go wrong?
Did our foundations get poisoned by our pasts?
Now we’re just lingering ghosts
Sleeping in unmade beds
So can we go back to my apartment
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Two strangers who never saw this coming
(Oh no)
A twist of fate, out of all the chances
We didn’t take, I found us dancing
In my living room, I think I knew you
Before we ever even met
I think I knew you before we—
I think I knew you before we—
I think I knew you before we—
So can we go back to my apartment
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Two strangers who never saw this coming

I Want It To Be You
03:11
|
|||
I filled my bed the same day you left
And filled my phone with combinations
Like I needed them to crack a code
Like there’s s mystery I’ve yet to unfold
God, I’m so impatient
Got marks on my skin from all the places we’ve been
And still some girls take paths frequently travelled
Oh, she followed your journey
All through my body
But if anybody wants me
I want it to be you
Oh, she followed your journey
All through my body
But if anybody wants me
I want it to be…
Who is this stranger in the mirror
I don’t recognize myself
Let alone the name of the woman in my bed
I do some things cause it’s easy
But with you I actually care
I have no excuse for my behaviours
I just hope you’re still there
Cause I got these marks on my skin from all the places we’ve been
And I wouldn’t mind if they stayed permanent
But sometimes I fold to tempting moments I know
Cause I’m too afraid to let go and give it all
Oh, she followed your journey
All through my body
But if anybody wants me
I want it to be you
Oh, she followed your journey
All through my body
But if anybody wants me
I want it to be you
I want it to be you

Ours
03:54
|

Sing to me something pretty
Something light
Something worth keeping
When it’s dark
Something to hold close when we’re apart
We’re approaching something so vile
Something sharp
Twist in the knife into my heart
We’re losing feeling, losing everything that kept us steady now
Now it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from me)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from you)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from us)
No, nothing can take that from us
Sing to me something you’re feeling in your chest
Call off the guards and let them rest
Cause i think it’s time we face the death of what we are
Sing to me your song of leaving,
Tell me that we are worth keeping
But you can’t hold broken glass
When all you’re doing is bleeding
And it’s gonna be hard
Yeah it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from me)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from you)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from us)
No, nothing can take that from us
(Sing to me your song of leaving,
Tell me that we are worth keeping
But you can’t hold broken glass
When all you’re doing is bleeding)
(Sing to me!)
(Sing to me something you’re feeling in your chest
Call off the guards and let them rest
Cause I think it’s time you face the death of what we are
And it’s gonna be hard
Yeah it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from me)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from you)
And it’s gonna be hard
But it’s gonna be ours
(And nothing can take that from us)
No, nothing can take that from us

Rhythm Of The Unwind
03:25
|

You’ve got a funny way dancing
In and out of my atmosphere
It was a pleasure just to be acquainted with you my dear
But now you’ve got to go
I’d rather be alone
I still love you so
I thought you should know
That I don’t want to let you go
(Let you go)
But I don’t want you to stay if you don’t
(If you don’t)
Darling, you’re too far gone
(Too far gone)
I just can’t hold on
(Can’t hold on)
Darling you’re too far gone
(Too far gone)
I just can’t hold on
(Can’t hold on)
And you’re a temptress
I can’t deny your truth
Cause now my body’s aching
Feeling withdrawals of you
Cold shivers running down my spine
Missing the rhythm of the unwind
Enamour me darling,
I was yours to find
Now I don’t want to let you go
(Let you go)
But I don’t want you to stay if you don’t
(If you don’t)
Darling, you’re too far gone
(Too far gone)
I just can’t hold on
(Can’t hold on)
Darling you’re too far gone
(Too far gone)
I just can’t hold on
(Can’t hold on)
(Enamour me, darling)
I just cant hold on

Sunday's Best
03:54
|
|||
I know she’s coming around
Knockin’ at your chest
She wants a little bit more of your Sunday’s best
She wants to know if she could have it
Tell her you got someone you could lie with
If you’d allow it, I’d take off that dress
Get it my bedroom, lets make a damn mess
I’m losing ground, quick little falling
All that you are, I want to dive in
Startle me at my front door
Think I saw this in a dream before
Maybe you’ll figure it out on that drive home
Make me your first stop and tell me “I’m yours”
Take two steps forward, move ten steps back
We were making progress baby,
How you gonna just go and leave me like that?
A struggle to move
We don’t like to lose
Right now no one is winning
So let’s bend the rules
So quickly I'd fold
If only to hold you
Know that if I do
I wont let you go
Startle me at my front door
Think I saw you in a dream before
Maybe you’ll figure it out on that drive home
Make me your first stop and tell me “I’m yours”
Make me your first stop and tell me “I’m yours”
Make me your first stop and tell me “I’m yours”
I know she’s coming ‘round
Knocking at your chest
She wants a little bit more of your Sunday’s best
She wants to know if she could have it
No
Tell her you got someone you could die with

I can’t wait for you to start being open

(I can’t wait for you)
I can wait for you
