Chemistry

Stop, baby you go too fast
Slow, I don’t wanna see you break it
Wait, show me around your world
Stay, I'm your lovin' every minute girl
And it's not what you say
It's the way that you say it
I'm drowning in your chemistry
And I can’t even fake it
Well, I see you're with company
Hello, I'd been waiting on the pleasure
Though, together we seem so nice
Still, something always had me thinking twice
And it's not what you say
It's the way that you say it
I'm drowning in your chemistry
And I can’t even fake it
And it's not what you say
It's the way that you say it
I'm drowning in your chemistry
And I can’t even fake it
I wanna get you with one line
So I can forget what isn't mine
And it's not what you say
It's the way, it’s the way, it’s the way

Never Good Enough

Never good enough
Never thin enough
Never talented enough
Never skilled enough
And I wonder if this song
Should even see the light of day
The light of day
I only feel grounded
When I’m at the top
When I’m at the top
I only feel secure
When I’m moving faster
Than a cop
I don’t allow for thoughts
That aren’t genius
Though I don’t really know
What genius is
So, I’m changing my philosophy
Cause it’s..
Never good enough
Never thin enough
Never talented enough
Never skilled enough
And I wonder if this song
Should even see the light of day
And I don’t need a man
Who can write me a great song
To brag about it
I want a man who can
Move his fingers really fast
On his guitar
And on my body
And I don’t want to talk
About all the love I have for you
I just want to say
I like you
Though it’s:
Never good enough
Never tall enough
Never talented enough
Never skilled enough
And I wonder if this song
Should even see the light of day
Cause I've been
Never young enough
never old enough
never ever shy enough
never bold enough
and half the time I wonder
if I have a thing to say
And though I never stop and think
about what it's all for
seems like even if I get there
I still want more
Never good enough
Never thin enough
Never talented enough
Never skilled enough
And I wonder if this song
Should even see the light of day
Cause I've been
Never wise enough
never zen enough
never satisfied enough
never loved enough
and half the time I wonder
if I have a thing to say
a thing to say

Close

Won't you come hang on a tree
and then ask me to crush you on the way down
I want to wrap myself around you
like a skin-tight gown
Can't you see then sparkles in my eyes
when you look at me like that
And I see your big blue eyes
even when I close my eyes
and it makes me smile
But I don't know what to do
every time I'm close to you
When we're walking side by side
I wish I knew exactly what you hide inside
Won't you let me know
if you want to touch me
Cause I can barely tuck my arms
when I see you walking so close to me
And I see your big blue eyes
even when I close my eyes
and it makes me smile
But I don't know what to do
every time I'm close to you
My Abi said that when it's just ot right
you gotta simply let it go
When it's wrong just let it go
But I see your big blue eyes
every time I close my eyes
and it makes me smile
Though by now I know for sure
that I won't be close to you

Winter
03:54

In this dark hole in time
your presence lingers here
I know I wanted some space
but you left everything here
so empty
you left me empty
You left your pictures
I put them away
and I tried to forget
But I still hear you
in the kitchen
Don't you think that this is wrong
To spend the wintertime alone and apart
Don't you think that we should try
to stop the ice that's taking over inside
I look out the window
and watch the sky fall
The snow
It keeps it safe underneath
Will the snow melt away
Don't you think that we should try
to stop the ice that's taking over inside
Don't you think that it was us
who let the winter fall on us

I'm Happy

All I wanna say
Is today I’m happy
I stood up to my daddy
Yesterday on the phone
I told him to be nice to me
Even if I’m not what he wanted me to be
And he shut up – I couldn’t believe it
Just for a second – but still
All I wanna say
Is today I’m happy
I went hiking yesterday
With my platonic friend
We lied down on a rock
And we locked eyes – and we shut up
Now he’s back with his girl
And I’m back with my guitar
But all I wanna say
Is today I’m happy
All I wanna say
Is today I’m free
I am barely employed
Though I have two degrees
I keep trying to make art
Though my neighbor disagrees
And sometimes I wonder
What the hell I’m doing here
But all I wanna say
Is today I’m happy
All I wanna say
Is today I’m free

Not in my Head
03:54
|

|
You wake at 3:30 AM making noises
I wake to the sound of my head, to voices
Of what, I don’t know
You always seem scared of whatever I do
While I take back that chair
With that something to prove
But for what? And to whom?
But I’m starting to think
That the answers are not in my head
Not in my head
Not in my Head
I found you so scared and alone
You’re so pretty, it’s hard to believe you’re so lost
And though I have no clue who you’ll turn out to be
I think I want to love you at no cost at all
Cause I’m starting to feel
That this time I’ve been spending alone
Isn’t doing much good
And I want to believe
That if I can be there for you
Maybe you’ll change my life too
Cause I’m starting to think
That the answers are not in my head
Not in my head
Not in my head
And I’m starting to wish
That I’d simply start living instead
Live instead
Outside my head
And love instead
Love instead
Love instead
Not in my head
Not in my head
