1999

1999 was the year that I arrived
Same year I met you
Guess we've been in this for a while
Of you my eyes never tire
She can’t tell me how to live no more
Left your boyfriend with a scar
In shattered pieces left my heart
Staying in, my curtains shut
Avoiding what was scaring us
She can't tell me how to live no more
How can I reply with more than i’m fine
When you project all your problems and perceptions on my life
Damn life
I was down and out
Told my friends to call
No one was listening
Thought there is where I end
One day you popped up
A sunflower in the dusk
I didn't think it was much
But you became my all
Put all my hope in us
All my happiness
Yet neither of us were at our bests
At rest
I’ve never been love like I am with you
But it's not enough to stay miserable
I gotta get away, get away
Girl nothing makes me sane
I gotta get away
There’s nothing else
Ahh
If I stick with it I know I’m gonna lose it
Know I'm gonna lose them
Hair braided
Cross faded
Both waiting on the other
Bet I'm cutting ties
With everyone else
She can't tell me how to live no more

Bianca

Found you in your Calvin Klein's
Wouldn't let me know if I'm right
Never been the one for small talk
Keep on postponing most my problems
But the moment wasn't set in stone
It's more that I'm not warm in tone
Who's more broken can't you see
Won't take my hand can't start with me
I heard one little promise and
I'm bursting at the seams
Never thought you'd help me more
Am I ever coming clean
I thought you knew where I was headed for
They're taking selfies in the bathroom
I had one little promise
And I'm bursting at the seams
Aaoo
Selfies in the bathroom
You doubt it cause it's too soon
It's too soon
Bianca, do I love ya?
Might've fallen little too quick for you
But I never thought you'd hold me back so
But I never thought you'd hold me back so much
Always in a different place
My ship fly to space
I never come back too much
Now we runaway
Better runaway
Now we runaway
Living for today
I don't want to keep on playing games
Thank the lord you stopped
That was quite a pain
Often left me questioning
Was it passion that brought you to my door
Every Saturday
"Just cause you're beautiful doesn't mean you can treat people like they don't matter, I really liked you"
I heard one little promise and
I'm bursting at the seams
Never thought you'd help me more
am i ever coming clean
I thought you knew where I was headed for
They're taking selfies in the bathroom
I had one little promise
And I'm bursting at the seams
Aaoo
Selfies in the bathroom
You doubt it cause it's too soon
It's too soon
Would you mind if I took your hand
Know you got things planned
But your smile says you want golden sand
Smile says you want golden sand
Agreed, putting this on you was unfair
You're not Tiffany I won't overbear
Broke your promise
But who am I to feel discouraged
For you aren't in a cage
And that's enough for me
Who would you follow to the ends of the earth
I think I broke it when I took my turn
Where is my worth
How much of my worth is in you
Who wasted the boys time
Blame it on myself
So I'm nothing
Can't help it

After nine
I plan to share my mind
Girl I try
Yet I can't find the words
I tell you once
We put it all behind
Both stubborn types
Neither care to draw the line
Tell me I'm the one for you
Girl there's none other than you
You don't need my trust
But if I could I'd be there for you
Be there and true
My love is strong
Might not be enough
But I’m young
And I can't find the words
In my mind
You're flashing all the time
Before my eyes
You sway from left to right
In black and white
Tell a lie
Say goodbye
Because I'm walking out
But we laughed all night
And I want you around
Really want you around
I'm a fool for you now
(Now evergreen)
Tell me I'm the one for you
Girl there's none other than you
(All I need)
You don't need my trust
But if I could I'd be there for you
Be there and true
My love is strong
Might not be enough
But I’m young
And I can't find the words
(Tell me I'm the one)
Evergreen
You're a little out of reach
(Tell me I'm the one)
Finding your face can be tough
So I pretend reflections are enough
No, they're not enough

No Social Butterfly

My hearts still aching
Angel, why we waiting?
Skin liberation
"Well can't we date then?"
Know that nobody really got my back
I'm feeling sick, out of breath
I’m loving the stress
Her lips on my neck
See the colour of her iris
Want to dive in
Take my time, sin
Predicting sinking all our time together
Confliction, we linking through the weather
Everybody's tryna impress someone
I put my hands in the air like it's nothing
It's nothing new
You're putting all your penny’s on a shot in the dark
Just wanna blink to feel alive without crashing your car
It's all overrated
It's all overrated
Imagine colours in sleep
Lovers at peace
I just want a world where I can wander nights forever with you
Can’t decide if you’re making up your mind
Are you really one for walking
Leaving here without him
Leave him all alone
He don't have to know
Do you feel like a cliché
Making moves so risqué
Honey just try to have no fear
Have no fear
It’s still like that
You’re running back
Running back
Everybody's tryna impress someone
I put my hands in the air like it's nothing
It's nothing new
Feeling failure like it’s something you caught
Tryna to keep a secret but its in the way that you walk
whats your motivator?
Well i’ve been sick for the sun since 99
Always feeling sporadic, is it visible in my eyes?
It’s all a loop
Live for dreams
Your television leaking
Only thing that fits me
Saint Laurent jeans
I’m just not happy from these things no more
If you wanna stop feeling so empty
Wanna stop feeling things are all out of reach
Go ask yourself if passions fell
Wouldn't wanna go turning your back on real
Where your head at?
It’s raining on my bare back
People saying you're little unaware max
Social butterflies only try when inspired
Staying patient shooting stars in the sky
Everybody's tryna impress someone
I put my hands in the air like it's nothing
It's nothing new
All of that weight fell off my shoulder
Still clutch pride in getting older
18 years, the doubt is torture
I just wanna feel

Worth / Gotta Get Away
03:33
|
|||
Always seem to leave a mess
Doubt I can bother with the stress
I need to get some more rest
Am I worth it?
Do you think that you're worth it?
(No more)
Are you gonna flake once more
I been waiting on you too long
Am I better off alone
Why would I lie to you
Nothing more true
I'm not gonna lie to you
And I mean every word
You deserve it
I'm not gonna lie to you
Because can't make one more mistake
Spent too long taking pain
How could I let you take my heart
How can I ride
Without my helmet
Safety slipped my mind
Naivety surrounding
I'll follow you
Do you think that you're worth it?
(No more)
Gotta get away
I gotta get away
Gotta get away, no no
I gotta get away
No one's listening to me anyway
But I gotta get a
No
I gotta get away
Away from this here
But stilted anyway
I gotta get away
Away from this here
But I stilted anyway
Better off alone
I'm better off alone
I'm better in my zone
I'm better off alone
Lucky is a word
Not many people can say

L'appel Du Vide

Adolescent me
That heartbroken sheep
Tempting my breath
For your butterfly net
Up by those treetops
i wandered every evening
i watched the moon wane breathing
Thought one day you treat me right
Typing to myself
Just one inhale
You said I stared
I just laughed then left
Overwhelmed I guess
L’appel du vide
Look over the edge
L'appel du vide
Don’t wanna get upset
Stepping my way
It’s not what you said
It’s not how I play, baby
If you want more I can assure loyalty
It’s all i do
Is wait for you
But baby girl
I’m not strong enough
But I'm just not strong
And I been waiting all long
She took me down
And she brought me around
We went to our spot
Blew smoke like movie stars
I don't know why baby girl
I don't know why, not at all
I just lose my mind
I lose it time to time
As mindful as the world
My trying feels absurd
You talk to me
You're flying out soon
Paint my heart blue
Pastels remind of you
And how I wanted you
L'appel du vide
Look over the edge
L’appel du vide
Don't wanna get upset
Voice memo of Ch'lita

Lose you in a moment
Will I lose you when it's midnight?
Just might
I don't wanna do it no more
It's not that I'm antisocial
I wonder what i’d have to do for it to be enough
For you to show your true heart
I know how you feel
Present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took on my arm
Would i lose you?
Clairo:
Country side
I’m by your side
It’s so hard to get by
Without you
Without you
Cross the line
My tears are dry
I see you in my hairs by my side
I miss you so much
I need you
It's not fair for those ones
Who have a heavy heart
But me it’s daylight here
And there it’s dark
Oh it’s dark
I know how you feel present from the break of dawn
Ache from wanting
You been toying
It got boring
If I took you on my arm
Would I lose you?
So i guess I lost you
Do do do do do dooo
Oh love you’re so far away
I just want you back
I don’t need a casket of love
Casket of love
Do you wanna come round
I got a lot to tell you about
Do you wanna come over
Got a spot for you on my shoulder
We got a secret I can keep
We got a lot to learn and leave
And I won't follow anyone but you

Goldeneye
You’re all too nice
Let’s fall in love
Done wasting time
All I want, all on my mind
Rush more than we've been so far
Before we know our youth will be gone
Don’t leave me lovelorn
You’re all too nice
Let’s get married on a monday morning
Who can waste the weekend by
How you smile so often
First felt love for the world through your eyes
Why’re you shrugging off romance
When I should just be your man
I don’t know
I wouldn’t be so alone
Walking up
Walking up
Such an angel from above
Don’t need nobody
I just need somebody to come home

Daydreamer

I don't understand fashion
So I wear plain tees
Don't understand love
So I'm all alone
But I try
I try all the time
I'm working on being better at being me
But who is that
Well I can't see
I'm just confused
Not amused
Deeper into
Something brand new
It's alien, alien to me
But I can't see anything
Worth following here
I can't see anything
Worth following
Of course I see you there
Of course I see you dear
But really I'm just scared
To understand love
I don't understand
I don't understand love
I don't understand much
But I'm searching
Still searching for someone
You are what you love and ain't what loves you
Listen up
You are what you love but ain't what loves you
(Don't let them tell you what they think you are)
I don't understand love, no no
And I'm searching for someone
I can't stand on what's not there
I don't know I just get scared
You're always on my mind
But forever's not our time
Until I realised I don’t understand myself
And I’m not one to ask for help
I was lying on my bed
So overcome with dread
Do you know me?
Do you know my daydream?
I really don't mind
Just stay with me a while
