Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is bleeding, but I know we’ll be alright
Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is a broken heart
Ghosted, coastin’, feeling free
Windows open, infinity
It’s a bad boy in a fast car
It’s a glass half full that you knocked over
It’s a homerun for the masses
It’s a pair of fake Gucci sunglasses
It’s a lover soft undressing
It’s a third strike, but the fans still…fuck, it’s a…ugh whatever, oh god
Take me by the hand, make it last forever
Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is bleeding, but I know we’ll be alright
Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is a broken heart
Kissing, fleeting, but it feels uneven
Long night, ceiling, hoping and believing
It’s a bad boy in a fast car
Sneaking out at night through the back door
Leather backseat, tail light heat
Looking for more, looking looking for more
Switchblade, clutch purse, motorbike, mini skirt
Horsepower, engine, vibrations, oh I’m shaking!
Headache, dog days, stolen glances sideways
Heartache, mistakes, giving yourself completely
It’s a dog day. Ahhhooooo!
Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is bleeding, but I know we’ll be alright
Everyone I know is breaking hearts tonight
Everyone I know is a broken heart

Hard To Love
02:39

Won’t catch me goin’ on bout where the good men gone. Give me someone rough and tumble. Give me someone hard to love. Gotta love the good men, but that ain’t what I want. Give me someone rough and tumble, someone hard to love.
Hard to love.
To have and to hold and keep together.
The sun goes down and shadows grow longer.
Makes it hard to find another.
Gimme that rare bird chaos and trouble.
My baby’s body’s swaying.
My hands shake as I watch him.
When you kiss me long and still I see what I’ve missing.
A pair of calloused hands rest upon my hips.
And your nervous energy as you invite me up again.
Can’t seem to get enough.
Can’t seem to give you up.
Smoking cigarettes and looking towards the sun underneath the dark sky reflecting off the moon.
Someone tough and mild, his feet are on the ground.
He’s facing the wind but his heart’s up in the clouds.
My baby’s body’s swaying.
My hands shake as I watch him.
Won’t catch me goin’ on bout where the good men gone.
Give me someone rough and tumble.
Give me someone hard to love.
Gotta love the good men, but that ain’t what I want.
Give me someone rough and tumble, someone hard to love.
Hard to love.

Get back now, here comes my baby. Tough and rumble man with a little bit of danger. I can’t believe that he’s with me. He’s everything I need, my sexy little angel.
I check my mood ring. Gimme that, gimme that sweet believing. I got these feelings. I wanna shout out loud, loud, loud. I wanna shout out loud, loud, loud.
I gotta get back. I never thought that you would start to feel the same
Get back now, here comes my baby.
Yeah, you got me reeling. I’m spinning around round, spinning around round. Love is gonna save me. You better get back now cuz here comes my baby!
I gotta get back. I never thought that you would start to feel the same.
Get back now, here comes my baby. Tough and rumble man with a little bit of danger. I can’t believe that he’s with me. He’s everything I need, my sexy little angel.

Necklace

Pressure for connection when we’re not together
Sitting on a mountainside you’re sleeping in my sweater
Do you think of me when you’re running errands?
Do you think about it?
Cause I’m counting on it
Distance, heart grows fonder, all my longing just gets longer
Counting seconds, checking days, thinking of the different ways to
Touch it, feel you, think that I’m the one to heal you
Pull the ocean out to sea, pull your lips now close to me
Counting on it
Pressure for connection when we’re not together
Necklace banging on my chest I cross it for protection
Miles, distance seems like something’s missing
Do you spend your time like every day’s a blessing?
Counting on it

Hello?
I’m from another world
I’m not a normal girl
I’m just a pattern of shadow under pale sun
I’m like a lighthouse
Bright and casting out
Light across the waves
Somewhere someday someone’s just for me
E- Hope this love can take me higher
I’ve been watching, catching fire
J- Hold my head, hurt me harder
Love can’t win if there’s no power
You are the candlelight
Flickering in and out
Yeah the space between
Wick and flame what will it take?
I’m in another world
Flowering underfoot
Mirror in my hand
Light reflecting sweetly
E- Hope this love can take me higher
I’ve been watching, catching fire
J- Hold my head, hurt me harder
Love can’t win if there’s no power
I give up on everything!
Turns out who I need is me
I give up on everything!
Turns out who I need…
E- Hope this love can take me higher
I’ve been watching, catching fire
J- Hold my head, hurt me harder
Love can’t win if there’s no power

No lie I couldn’t stand the look on your face
Like it’ll never be okay
You’re right I didn’t want to know
You said, you said you had something to say
That everything inside you had changed
Well if it’s true how can I tell?
Every day, every night I will leave a light on
What you want, what you need, it won’t be a problem
Where you at? Let me know I’ll follow
Every day, every night I will leave a light on
What you want, what you need, it won’t be a problem
When you knock, babe it won’t be a bother
Is it different today?
Wish that I could find some strength
Alright, I didn’t want to make a mistake
Okay, we’re sitting here we’re trying to relate
What were you doing here alone?
Alright, my ego just got in the way
Turning every thought to jealousy,
But was it worth losing a home?
Every day, every night I will leave a light on
What you want, what you need, it won’t be a problem
Where you at? Let me know I’ll follow
Every day, every night I will leave a light on
What you want, what you need, I won’t be a problem
When you knock, babe it won’t be a bother
There’s a world outside
Still not sure what I hoped to find

You’ve got a tattoo on you chest
I think you’re pure gold, pure gold
I don’t know what to do
I think you’re pure gold, pure gold
I’m losing control
A friend to sleep in with
Yeah she’s the kind of girl that I could get with
Get in the van yeah, and let’s all go a-travelling
Two dogs, two hearts, two tents, two stars
You’re the one that’s got it all yeah
I’m gonna take a chance on you
Easy, breezy, ooo ya
We laugh so freely
Oo you’re sunshine
I’m gonna make you all mine
Another bad day
Grey skies got me stumbling
I’m getting lost in the storm
Pure Gold
Losing things yeah I don’t stress
I accept you as you is
Friend of lover
I don’t care as long as we’re together
Heart beats changing
Ooo ya the birds are singing
You’re the one that’s got it all ya
I’m gonna take a chance on us
Easy, breezy, ooo ya
We laugh so freely
Pure Gold

It’s not that I forgot, It’s just that I remembered wrong. Walk it off, walk it off. I’ve already walked around the block.
I’m waiting for. I’m saving up.
It’s not that I forgot, it’s just that I remembered wrong. Talk it out, talk it out. You tell me that I talk too much. I’m feeling kinda stressed. I’ll crawl up in my bed and stare it off until I’m feeling different. Slice across my knee, I wanna watch it bleed. What will it take for you and you to see me?
I’m sinking in. I’m feeling it.
Yes!
I’m feeling love. I’m looking up.

So Good

Watching you through dark shades. You’re the one I think I want ya. The violence inside you don’t scare me. Excited to touch you, to know you and maybe to love you. You call me. We talking. I ain’t sleeping, I’m dreaming.
Is this what I’ve wanted? Ooooooo. I’ve been waiting. I’ve been so good.
This can’t be happening. I’m so fucked up and messy. I’m bad at this love thing. You’ll probably mean nothing. I can’t help but hoping that my heart is kinda open. I got here by trusting and trying to be better.
Is this what I’ve wanted? Ooooooo. I’ve been waiting. I’ve been so good.
Forever and ever.
I’ve been good, I’ve been good
I’ve been good, think that we could
Make it up, take it slow
If it’s meant to be we’ll know
I’ve been good, I’ve been good
I’ve been good, think that we could
Make it up as we go
I’m in the mood for love

Don't Look Down
02:41

Gotta find a way to get together
I don’t want to wait for things to get better
I don’t care about what they say
I don’t really care about what they think
One step forward, one step back
Give me all your heart, I’ll give mine back
Love’s the reason I’m a mess
I want it, I want it, I want it
Don’t look down
Love’s all around you
Gotta find a way to get together
I don’t need for this to last forever
Loves uncertain, chest caves in
First I need you for a friend
One door opens, you step in
Tell me how you want this night to end
Make a mess now of my bed
I want it, I want it, I want it
Don’t look down
Love’s all around you
I don’t ever want to hear anymore that the heart wants what it wants
Don’t look down
Love’s all around you

Knife

I was a right hook and I hit it. Like a knife fight, I came with it. The stars above, they were spinning. How’s it feel my love to be in it? You’re on the defense. Now I get it. And like lightning I lit it. Without fighting you’ve accepted. You’re the only one who can keep it.
My heart belongs to one and that one is only you. I’ll never love again. It just has to be you, it just has to.
As below, so above it. I was an angel for you to covet. And all them rules don’t apply to me. I’m so sick of men telling me how to be. I laughed and I smiled and I played it sweet, but now I kill you in my sleep. It’s a matter of time and I’ll be free. You’re outdated. You mean nothing.
My heart belongs to one and that one is only you. I’ll never love again. It just has to be you, it just has to.

Shake

It’s not enough. It’s not enough, love. You got it wrong. You’ve got it wrong.
Shake, shake. Shake, shake. Shake, shake it off.
Make, make me. Make, make me. Make, make me tough. Tough.
Shake, shake, shake!
I’m stepping into water. I’m thinking hard about it. I’m getting kind of smarter with each and every mistake. It’s getting louder, the voice inside the well. Where is the power? Is it in me? Is it in you?
Shake, shake. Shake, shake it off.
Shake, shake. Shake, shake it off.
I’ll fake it, fake it to the top.
Shake, shake it off. Shake it!
To the top…
Shake shake shake!

Last night, last night I thought I was alright. Possession, possession…oh to posses you. Keep it, keep it together. You belong, belong to another. But my heart is beating slower. Yeah my heart is beating, beating.
Love was different. Love was different yesterday. And oh I felt differently. I felt differently yesterday.
Give up, give up, you gotta give up before you give in. Let go, let go I can hear all the gods are singing. Out loud, out loud we’re so out loud. I’m walking backwards now. Keeping, keeping secrets to myself again and again and…
Love was different. Love was different yesterday. And oh I felt differently. I felt differently yesterday.

Forget
03:54

If I told you I love you then would you stay?
We could put aside all the things that got in the way
And you know that I’m so good at playing pretend
It’s true, I got problems letting things end
How could I forget?
Never looking back
We could play sugar cube fantasy bed
The movie’s over you’re kissing my hand
Nights like these I could never regret
They live inside me, they are who I am
How could I forget
We’re never looking back?
Make believe
The world is more than dreams
I miss you more than it seems
I’m acting tough
I do it for you and for me
How could it be
We’re never looking back?
