I Hate Goodbyes
02:38
|
|||
You said you’re perfect for me
Then you said you didn’t mean it
Well nobody is perfect
So I’d never believe it
But you’re doing a pretty good job at convincing me
Said you’d been waiting two years to fall in love
As if a shooting star will hit you from the heavens above
It doesn’t work that way, it doesn’t work that way baby
And I’ll be here in America
Or we could travel the world
We could be one in the sun
Or just another girl
You took me by surprise
With your sparkly eyes
Oh god I hate goodbyes
You got a lot to learn
But you’re smart for your age
And from what I can read
We’re on the same page
And it looks like you got some tricks up your sleeve
Hey beautiful person
Hey dreamy face
You got me floating on a magic rug in outer space
Why did you have to go home
Why did I have to leave
And I’ll be here in America
Or we could travel the world
We could be one in the sun
Or am I just another girl
Oh you took me by surprise
With your sparkly eyes
Oh God I hate goodbyes
TC your face is so dreamy
Oh TC your face is so dreamy
I’ll be here in America
Or we could travel the world
We could be one in the sun
Or am I just another girl
Oh you took me by surprise
With your sparkly eyes
Oh God I hate goodbyes
Oh what a good surprise
You got those sparkly eyes
Oh God I hate goodbyes
Oh what a good surprise
You got those sparkly eyes
Oh God I hate goodbyes

How to Run
02:01
|

My life before you was a fairy tale
I bit the poison apple and wound up in jail
And then you came along and set me free
My knight in shining armour and ripped jeans
And now you wanna keep me in captivity?
Well that won't work for me
I still know how to run
I still know how to walk away
I still know how to start again
Baby you're my world, but there's a world outside
And the harder you seek, the more I hide
You know my fists are up when you hold to tight
'Cause hard to get is worth the fight
You got a hold on me but I can hold my own
And as far as I run I'll always take you home
Nobody owns me, but baby, I'll give you a loan
I still know how to run
I still know how to walk away
I still know how to start again
You know every new thing is some thing's end
I still know how to leave
It doesn't mean I don't believe
That you'll be running right beside me
Don't try to hide baby trust in me
I still know how to run
I still know how to walk away
I still know how to start again
I still know how to leave
It doesn't mean I don't believe
That you'll be running right beside me
Don't try to hide baby trust in me

Ursa Minor

I'll be your Northern star
I'll light the way
I'll take you through the dark
Til the light of day
I'll be your Northern star
When the Southern Cross led you home
You were happy to be alone
And now that you have me here
The stars could disappear
I'll be your Northern star
Your friend above
Imprisoned by
Forbidden love
I'll be your Northern star
When the Southern Cross led you home
You were happy to be alone
And now that you have me here
The stars could disappear
When Orion was your man
His belt gripped tight in your hand
I was hiding behind the moon
Ready to make you swoon
I would steal all the stars from the sky for you
I would steal all the stars from the sky for you
I would steal all the stars from the sky for you
I would steal all the stars
When the Southern Cross led you home
You were happy to be alone
And now that you have me here
The stars could disappear
When Orion was your man
His belt gripped tight in your hand
I was hiding behind the moon
Ready to make you swoon
Back home in the Milky Way
I waited each night for a thousand days
And now that I have you here
The stars could disappear

Give it All to Me
03:25
|
|||
I'm seeing other people
It's what you wanted us to do
But it's out of my system
Been around this block a time or two
I could spend these hours
Saving money and saving my pride
Buying plane tickets and taking a ride
On your love
If you could give it all to me
Give it all to me
Give it all to me
ooh
How many notches on your bedpost
Are you looking for
I've done my share of playing games and keeping score
Are you crunching the numbers?
I see you looking at me
Do you wanna know me better,
Or do you love me?
And could you give it all to me
Give it all to me
Give it all to me
Oooh
There was a time when I wanted
What you say you need
Always living for lust
It was party or bust
Had my cake and hers too
And now I just want you
To give it all to me
Give it all to me
Give it all to me
Oooh
Give it all to me
I'd give it all to you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
If things were different
If you were older
If I wasn't so far away
So far away
Would you give it all to me
Give it all to me
Give it all to me
ooooh
Give it all to me
I'd give it all to you
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Baby Why You So Angry
02:49
|

Baby why you so angry
You're the one who hurt me
You're the one fooling around
I'm the one who's lonely
Why you acting so crazy
Do you think that I've been lying
You're the one bending the rules
I'm the one who should be crying
It was a take it or leave it kinda situation
Started out as an innocent, lovers' vacation
How quickly things change when you're looking
I'm a slut for experience and you are just a slut
Me too I guess, please don't get defensive - let's discuss
All the ins and the outs of the things that stand between us
Baby why you so angry
You're the one who hurt me
You're the one fooling around
I'm the one who's lonely
Why you acting so crazy
Do you think that I've been lying
You're the one bending the rules
I'm the one who should be crying
'Cause love don't cost a thing except a diamond ring
A lot of pride, a lot of words that might cause a sting
All the restaurants and flowers and big data plans
To show me you're my baby and I'm your man
Here we are so far from that night in your car
And the fog on the glass, and baby that ass
I'd do anything for you, keep it honest and true
But honestly you're killing me I'm not immune to jealousy
Baby
Oh baby
Why you so angry
Why you so
Why you so - do you think that I've been lying
Do you think that I've been lying
You're the one bending the rules
I'm the one who should be crying
Oh baby why you so angry
Why you so angry
Why you so
Why you so - do you think that I've been lying
Do you think that I've been lying
You're the one bending the rules
You're the one
You're the one
Oh baby

You Say You Want More
04:58
|
|||
I tried to stop writing about you
Cause it was feeling like a one way street
But the lines just write themselves
And play out on repeat
I don't know if I want the same things
The things that you're looking for
I know exactly how you feel
But I don't feel that way anymore
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
Maybe one day you'll show these songs
To some other girl
Just like you showed me the words
That your love inspired before
You see, I've had my share
Of break and repair
One for every line on my face
It's a wonder that I have no grey hair
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
My God I never spent so much time on the telephone
I've never been honest - what happened, I was happy alone
Now I'm learning new things
Like how to really compromise
Just for another chance to look at your pretty eyes
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
I would just run away
But I like you, I like you the best
You say you want more
I'm not stopping you
You say you want more
So I'm doing it to
Remember when you were in LA
With your girlfriend and her best friend, Renée
I know you hate to hear that name
But I don't think she deserves all the blame
There's a little bit for me and you
And a little for Laura too
But today is a brand new day
So fuck those bitches anyway
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
I'm not stopping you
You say you want more
So I'm doing it too
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
Somehow it feels like less
You say you want more
I'm not stopping you
You say you want more
So I'm doing it too
So I'm doing it too

Can't sleep
Thinkin of you
With her
She's spending money like there's no tomorrow
She's getting wasted to forget her sorrow
Can't sleep
Missin you
With me
Wish I could tell what you're thinking right now
What the hell are you thinking right now
What am I supposed to do about the way I feel for you
I don't want another
So why should I bother
But I'm so far away from you and this is not enough for you
Or is it?
Baby, what is it
I thought that we were having fun
Just a little dance behind the sun
I thought that we were having fun
And now the hurt's begun
Can't sleep
Bad dreams
Good ones too
I don't want a minute if you're not in it
Thanks for the pictures to help me revisit
Can't sleep
Want you
Right now
I gotta have you and I don't know how
Pick up the phone, walk my hand south
What am I supposed to do about the way I feel for you
I don't want another
So why should I bother?
And I'm so far away from you and this is not enough for you
Or is it?
Baby what is it
I thought that we were having fun
Just a little dance behind the sun
I thought that we were having fun
I thought that we were having fun
Just a little dance behind the sun
I thought that we were having fun
I thought that we were having fun
Just a little dance behind the sun
I thought that we were having fun
And now the hurt's begun

Love is Not Enough
03:47
|

Love will get you into a mess
Love will fuck you up
Love will get you high
Love will lift you up
Love might be there for you
When you're down in the dumps
Or it'll leave you
Lying broken like a chump
Love is good
Love is kind
Love is hard to find
But love
Love
Oh baby
Love Ooh
Is not enough
Does love make you coffee
Does love sing you to sleep
Does give you shit
For the company you keep
Does love understand
Your jokes and your life plan
Does love pick up the slack
Does love have your back
Love is good
Love is kind
Love is hard to find
Love is good
Love is blind
Love is so hard to find
But love
Love
Oh baby
Love ooh
Is not enough
Love is good
Love is kind
Love is hard to find
Love is good
Love is blind
Love is so hard to find
But love
Love
Oh baby
Love Ooh
Is not enough

They say you play rock n roll so you're living the dream
Except for when you hit the bank machine
So it really hurts when you gotta cancel the show
And tell everyone to stay at home
'Cause they say there's a bug and it's getting around
People are dead and the border's shut down
It kinda feels like an apocalypse
Is anybody anybody ready for this
C-O-V-I-D-19
Why you gotta kill my dreams
C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19
Deliver me from this bad dream
Oh I made a new record it was starting to sell
It felt like things were finally going well
And my girlfriend, she was gonna get on a plane
And come for a tour of the USA
But they locked her out and they locked me in
Now we're unemployed and crying
And Trudeau said, "Come home" as fast as you can
So I'm packing up my minivan
C-O-V-I-D-19
Why you gotta kill my dreams
C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19
Deliver me
Deliver me
C-O-V-I-D-19
Why you gotta kill my dreams
C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19
Deliver me from this bad dream
Deliver me
Deliver me
Deliver me from this bad dream

Another Mistake
02:59
|
|||
Every time that I turn around
There's an old man telling me how I've done everything wrong
Every time that I turn around
There is someone telling me how I've done everything wrong
How can I go on
Clock is ticking
Where did I go wrong
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every day I look to the sun and I fall to my knees in the dark as it all turns to black
It's not like I'm the only one - it's a terrible place in the light when you're under attack
How can I go on
I can't take it
Where did I go wrong
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every day I lose my way
How can I take it
I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake
Every day I lose my way
How can I take it
I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't
Every time that I turn around I make another mistake

You're so good at what you do
Success will come so easy for you
You're so easy to love
Your heart will never be blue
Say it a thousand more times
Can you make it come true
I fantasize, I visualize, I try to see through all the lies, I do
Still it comes
Like a hand held deep in the flame
I try to take the heat
But I get burnt the same
It's not a self-fulfilling prophecy
I promise
I try
I work hard to be positive
I wish on every star in the sky
And I say today is gonna be the day it all gets better
My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather
I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather
And the sun is gonna shine for me
They always say it's not the end of the world
Well no one's saying that now
The casualties are adding up
So close the curtain please take a bow
Or set your mind to manifest
It's only a test
Or an everyday reminder of your total insignificance
Still it comes
Like a poison
And it's eating my guts
I try to spit it out
It only gets more stuck
It's not a self-fulfilling prophecy
I promise
I try
I work hard to be positive
I wish on every star in the sky
And I say today is gonna be the day it all gets better
My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather
I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather
And the sun is gonna shine for me
And this is gonna be the year I finally make it
Sell a million records, buy a house and take it
Easy on myself for the rest of my life
Get a diamond on my hand
I'll be a real good wife
And my love and I will never have a reason to fight
It all just seems to work out when you get it right
We'll have a couple babies and a dog and cat
Start a charity for kids who lost their moms and dads
Yeah this is gonna be the day it all gets better
My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather
I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather
And the sun is gonna shine for me
