Kiss on the cheek, another week It’s a drop in the sea, it’s whatever you need Love of my life, cuts like a knife It’s a fire to feed, it’s whatever you need Kinda makes me nervous, baby When my phone gets no service, baby I walk around for hours trynna call you Oh, trynna call you Your face on a screen, the images freeze Wires and keys, all that tie you to me I scream at the pool and float like a fool Cause I still want to be whatever you need Kinda makes me nervous, baby When my phone gets no service, baby I walk around for hours trynna call you Oh, trynna call you I get so nervous, baby When you get lost on purpose, baby I stay awake for hours thinking of you Oh thinking of you Oh thinking of you Oh yeah I stay up all night thinking of…

Write it in a book, dear Don’t waste my time Save it for your diary Don’t try to ease my mind Love was growing teeth You were spitting blood Write it on your heart, dear You were never mine Spare me your love I don’t deserve anything That’s how you made me feel Traded me for a stranger, baby Spare me your love Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too Write it in a book, dear Don’t waste my time Save it for your diary Don’t try to ease my mind Love started running Before it was through Write it on your heart, dear Am I the one you choose? Spare me your love I don’t deserve anything That’s how you made me feel Traded me for a stranger, baby Spare me your love Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too Crying on the phone already And you always know it Wanna say the perfect thing But I always blow it If you do not want my love Then I will help you throw it out Spare me your love Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too Spare me your love I don’t deserve anything That’s how you made me feel Traded me for a stranger, baby Spare me your love Cause maybe you’re a stranger to me too

He’s still calling all the time Coming over to take what’s mine He’s got nothing better to do Than say “I’m still in love with you” Can I get what I want this time? I’m still dreaming of your face And all my feelings gone to waste Cause even though I know it’s true I can’t be in love with you, no Can I get what I want this time?

1-800 03:29
Call back, tell me where you’re at Little fear is back, won’t let me go Alone tonight, my 1-800 life No one picks me up, they only let me go Dance fever Be my dream believer I never do this either So let me know Body, that’s all anyone wants from me So how sad for me that I let myself go Alone tonight, my 1-800 life I know you see the light But you just let me go, I know Dance fever Be my dream believer I never do this either So let me know Darling let me know

I look for you at the basement show Only face in a faceless glow Push my way through the indigo Time is slow and I’m back in love again Tell me something I don’t wanna hear Any excuse to disappear Survived without you all these years But now you’re here and I’m back in love again And I would love if you loved me I wish I was seventeen again Back when love really moved me But that was then, yeah I don’t want you to wonder why Nothing gets me high Falling for you, but I’m not satisfied Nothing gets me high, no And on those days when I think we’re through Something stupid makes me think of you My heart is racing down first avenue Sky is blue and I’m back in love again And I would love if you loved me I wish I was seventeen again Before love really hurt me But that was then, yeah I don’t want you to wonder why Nothing gets me high Falling for you, but I’m not satisfied Nothing gets me high I wanna be the best thing That ever happened to you I don’t want you to wonder why Nothing gets me high Falling for you, but I’m not satisfied Nothing gets me high, yeah

Can you count down from 23? Years that you never thought of me Talk with your hands, I’m listening Nobody’s home or missing me Time is the cell I’m living in Rent is good, but the light gets in I see you in my dreams again So I’m sleeping in, I’m sleeping in Cause I had a love but I lost it I was cruel and cried like a faucet, yeah I need you so I’ll keep my promise I’ll be what you wanted Whatever you want me to be I lost myself a long way back I’d leave it all if you love me back The sweetest sound to echo back Say after all, you love me back I never said that I was tough Skipping P.E. was bad enough I loved you more than anyone But I gave you up, I gave you up Cause I had a love but I lost it I was cruel and cried like a faucet, yeah I need you so I’ll keep my promise I’ll be what you wanted Whatever you want me to be I lost myself a long way back I’d leave it all if you love me back The sweetest sound to echo back Say after all, you love me back

Girl 03:44
Don’t turn a little thing into something When you’re beside me, I do nothing Boys stop and stare and say you’re something You don’t know what to do with that What do you think about What do you, when you see me? Girl Or am I just another girl? (yeah) I don’t think anything will happen You smell like smoke and look like satin We lie in bed and can’t stop laughing I don’t know what to do with that What do you think about What do you, when you see me? Girl Or am I just another girl? (yeah) There is a light between us When you are not touching me My love’s another year older But it’s never rushing me The height from which I’m falling Takes the breath right out of me I know you’ll never hear me calling It’s crushing me, it’s crushing me yeah

Automatic 03:33
Loving you in forward motion meant Getting the wound and leaving it open You tell me in words unspoken A secret code, I’ll bleed til it’s broken But the words come out in a different way And you never say exactly what I want you to say But when I look in your eyes, yeah, I cannot get past it Love you automatic I love you automatic Loving you is all I know The touch of your hand in the afterglow It’s a long journey up, I can’t come back I drowned in the bed, you slept in the bath But the words come out in a different way And you never say exactly what I want you to say But when I look in your eyes, yeah, I cannot get past it Love you automatic Yeah I don’t want to feel like I’m hanging around, no But I can’t hear if you never make a sound No, I don’t want to feel like I’m letting you down, no But I can’t hear if you never make a sound But the words come out in a different way And you never say exactly what I want you to say But when I look in your eyes, yeah, I cannot get past it Love you automatic I love you automatic

I get no satisfaction Crawling into bed with you Mad about some small infraction The worst thing to happen to you Is my heart in love with you I get no sympathy Crawling into bed at three You do not stir, you make it clear The worst thing to happen this year Is your heart in love with me In the middle of the night At the start of the day I sleep on the couch To feel you away I get no second chances Turning myself inside out Partner to my bitter dances The worst thing I could cry about Is your heart Is my heart Is your heart in love with me

Lying on the floor with your head on my shoulder Thinking to myself you don’t look a year older I left you alone Long enough to miss me more Living in a place where the light does not reach me You’re a shot in the dark, but you make it look easy I left you alone So why do I still miss you more? Give me your light I can’t see past the window Show me how to make it through Give me your life Tell me how not to die here I want so bad to know the truth Lying on the floor with your head on my shoulder Thinking to myself you don’t look a year older I left you alone So why do I still miss you more? Give me your time I can’t see past tomorrow Show me how to make it new Give me your word Tell me there’s someone waiting I want so bad to know it’s you
