I’m in the Starbucks on the square
I was just tryna charge my phone
It’s getting late they’re closing up
I guess I oughta go back home
But I don’t wanna explain
I don’t wanna explain myself

You like an adventure, so do I
Pray that you don't notice
I don't really know my way around
Let's get lost tonight
Don't make a difference turn left or right
This conversation is coming to life (you can tell me anything)
I like the way you talk, short and concise
Let's take the town
Said you like me when there ain't nobody else around
You and me
Second nature make your fingers go just like this
We can linger until street cleaners come out,
as we wander around the city
Well it's a natural reaction
The thought of actually asking you out
Had my gut turning matter fact girl it's happening now
but I think I'm taken to you
You ask me questions they're silly, you get upset when I laugh
You grab my shirt say no really, what are your thoughts on that
say I don't really think about it much
But by now we've missed the last bus,
So if all else fails and we get stuck
don't worry needn't rush, look at the sun rising
Let's get lost tonight
and we could turn off all the lights
This conversation is coming to life (you can tell me anything)
I like the way you talk short and concise
But when we do get back, you know that we could sleep in
Close the shutters for the weekend, oooh it's the season for love

Body's an Ocean

Your body’s an ocean
You’re pulling me in
You’re slowing my motion
One touch would be sin
I’m tryna pull myself together I can’t talk like this
I wonder if I’m making it too obvious, it probably is
See I know it’s wrong
But what can I do
You’re in love with my best friend
But I’m in love with you
And I know and I know you can feel it
I been trying so hard just to kill it, it won’t give in
I don’t wanna push you no,
Tiptoe like we’re dancin ballet
Cross the room I catch you glancin my way
I play it cool now play it safe
I sip my Bombay Sapphire
Room starts spinning round
I don’t know if I can keep it down
Somebody stop me from speaking out (shit)
Too late, you take one more step towards me
And my lips float towards your cheek, my nerves peak
I whisper in your ear this is probably kinda weird
but could we possibly find a place other than here to talk in private
And then your face turns violet (fuck)
I shoulda stayed quiet
Your body’s an ocean
You’re pulling me in
You’re slowing my motion
One touch would be sin
I’m tryna talk myself down I’m not into you
No no you’re forbidden fruit, its true
See I know it’s wrong
But what can I do
You’re in love with my best friend
But I’m in love with you
And I know and I know you can feel it
I been trying so hard just to kill it, it won’t give in
Tryna talk myself down I’m not into you

Home for the Summertime
03:12

Everybody stopped smoking but you
Everybody stopped smoking but me
Everybody stopped going back home for the summertime, everybody
You know I heard you're getting on
Pictures look like great times
I see you got yourself a girl
You know I heard it through the grapevine
Truthfully I'm taken aback, I couldn't picture that
It's not a surprise to me it's just out of the blue a bit
(Last I heard) you were just a music kid
Are you becoming an actor?
Or is it really just cupid that you're after
You've been caught up, I've been wasting
I meant to ask you won't you tell me what you're chasing
'cause I bet all my life, that you're still drinking every night
won't you pour one, drink one,
I won't stress you 'cause you're looking real professional
and if you're really moving on
don't let me fuck you up, I am never growing up
Everybody stopped smoking but you
Everybody stopped smoking but me
Everybody stopped going back home for the summertime, everybody
Bus rolls in, home again,
Looks the same but it feels kinda different so you
Live it, breathe it, bittersweet it's
hard to say goodbye when you never really leave it but
if you stay, the picture fades to grey anyways

I don't wanna be the only that you count on
Wanna be the only one that you live for,
One day I'll leave you asking for more, baby
So before ya go lay your head on my shoulder
Don't tell me I didn't warn ya
When it's all said and done, I'm just not the one, no no
Well although I make good company
Don't fall in love with me
I'll end up letting you down
And although we have good chemistry
Don't waste your energy on me
Without a doubt, I'll let you down
Some way, somehow
Sprawled out on the bedsheets,
We spent the day listening to Gillespie
At moments like this
You know I almost forget who I am see 'cause
Used to be I'd play the part
I'd make you feel love then I'd break your heart
No not again, run while you can
Well although I make good company
Don't fall in love with me
I'll end up letting you down
And although we have good chemistry
Don't waste your energy on me
Without a doubt, I'll let you down
Some way, somehow

Dreamcatcher

All for you, baby
We can build ourselves a house on the moon maybe
I'll make it come true lady
I'm a dreamcatcher won't you leave your light on
Close your eyes for a minute
Let yourself float just glide for a minute, in it
And when it feels right, look up into the sky
Have you ever seen a grown man fly
Or took a trip to the Northern Lights at midnight
Meet me on the fire escape, bring your favorite cape
We'll head down to Montego Bay right away
Is it a dream if we can taste and touch
Anything you're thinking of
I can take you if you trust
All for you, baby
We can build ourselves a house on the moon maybe
I'll make it come true lady
I'm a dreamcatcher won't you leave your light on
It's all for you, baby
We can live on the moon
I'll make it come true
I'm a dreamcatcher (leave your light on for me baby)
Come down and get your spacecar today
We got brand new models and money back guarantee to make you say
Take me away oooh today
Take me away away away ahh

Swallow Your Pride
04:04

You're typically right most of the time
Isn't it odd I trust your brain more than mine sometimes
But let me say this, you're obnoxious
You put people down, it's toxic
I wonder if you hear yourself talking sometimes
Swallow your pride
Cause its a long and lonely ride if no one's there by your side
You're caught in your own spell
If you can't get over yourself, you'll have nobody else around to tell
See you know music and fashion and politics and actin'
And how to speak French in the past tense but
Still you're lacking
Basic human compassion
Oh oh I don't say that to be rude
I do love you, but goddamn boy you make it hard to (ooh)
Swallow your pride
Cause its a long and lonely ride if no one's there by your side
You're caught in your own spell
If you can't get over yourself, you'll have nobody else around to tell
You can't keep pushing people, pushing them away, push pushing them away
Pushing them away, push pushing them away

My god you're beautiful
My god you're beautiful
My tongue's tied I'm just tryna tell you
Oh my god you're beautiful just tryna tell you that
For your information
You move me, I'm usually unmovable
You are truly unusual
Fucked in the head when you come around
What about those times we don't talk about
What about the way that you scan me up and down looking for a piece of me to chomp down
What about another round
Are you patient, can you take it oh I
Got a question, just in case I don't see you for awhile, it goes like
Would you like to, let me rephrase
Do you wanna come over
Should we go to, let me rephrase
Do you wanna come over 'cause
You move me, I'm usually unmovable
I'm tongue-tied, you're truly unusual
You move me, I'm usually unmovable
You got me tongue-tied, you're truly unusual
Well I hope you know you're beautiful,
Well I hope you know you're beautiful, you are
Hope you know you're beautiful, you are

Yeah I like that uh huh
You get me going
Skip the nightcap
We only got but so much time
We only got but so much time
We only got but so many chances and the
Evenings feeling romantic
So why don’t we take the old Camry for a drive
We’ll pull off the road
There’s a nice little spot called Turtle Hole
I bet it’s pretty in the moonlight
Wouldn’t you like to know?
See I remember one time
Came out here in the sunshine
And we brought a bag of mushrooms for lunchtime
Soon enough, we were laughing with no punchline
Eyes like felines time on rewind
Convinced the world was fake, somebody must’ve drew that treelike
Thinking everything will be okay
Well I guess I just made one mistake
Momma found out
Say goodbye to summer break
Yeah I like that uh huh
You get me going
Skip the nightcap
We only got but so much time
We only got but so much time

Started so casual
Standing in the kitchen
Cooking up a dish and
You asked me if I want some
But I want you
and I want and I want and I want and I want you to know that I do
When you're around I lose my focus
And people start to notice
I'm tryin' to keep my cool but I can't keep it up
Seems I'm in need of love
So I proceed to look around
but I found it to be
that the answer was standing right in front of me,
with a touch and a laugh and a red hat and her love to offer me
Won't you come downstairs and talk to me?
You keep me up 'til five in the morning
I hope that I make you feel important
'cause you are and apart from the life that we may lead
independently, I would like to remind you baby
You're much more than your beauty, truly

It's getting awfully late
And I been drinking whiskey
Guess I oughta go home, sleep it off
Well I mean I wish that I could stay
Or I wish that you'd come with me
But you're out there with somebody else
And I guess you're not into me anymore, like you used to be
Ever since the day you ran into me on my job well I just haven't been the same
I'm not, I'm not used to feeling this way (Is it the)
Skinny waste and music taste fuck it I'm going insane
Usually I'm the one who ends things,
I didn't know this was the ending at all, my friends probably call me crazy
I look back but I cannot feel a thing
Ahhhh
