rocket 04:12
I built a rocket so I’d escape When I met you my plans changed Decided I should scale it back And put my own ambitions last I built a rocket so I could leave I try but can’t seem to break free Is this how we'll always be Stuck here for eternity Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I built a rocket to find myself In the arms of someone else I tried and tried to no avail I can’t believe how much I’ve failed I built a rocket to fantasy Get out my life and restart Green I wanted him to rescue me So sad to think I’m this naïve Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I gotta start living for me No more sitting on the sideline Waiting for a lifeline Who gone love me better? No more trying to understand you 'Cause I don't give a damn, ooh Why should I, why should I care? Trapped in a room the size of my dreams Thinking how my life could've been How small I’ve made myself become To orbit in your solar system I want to be where I can be 'Cause riding with you is not for me No matter what, you'll disagree I gotta start living for me Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Be my rocket out of here Why are we here like this? Starts in my bed With you on my mind And all my regrets You're wasting my time What goes around done comes around And you ghost around You come around me It's not what you say It's what I don't do And all the lost words I can't say to you What goes around done comes around And you ghost around You come around me What goes around comes around Your ghost around comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Comes around Your ghost around comes around

poison 03:07
Wish he'd fuck the feelings right out of me Take 'em out within my anatomy... Man, that's insane. What am I saying? Had a dream where I'd lived the simple life Lost my hope making it out alright, but You give me the same rush through my veins Don't want to seem obsessed with you Thought you'd give me something better to do So dumb for telling a soul how I'm into you Smoke a ----- and go and kick it and chill Let my mind wander about you a little Write some words down to cope with how I really feel Let's get numb, be my poison I want some, be my poison Be my poison I'mma get so high on you Loving everything you do Every word you drag me deeper into you, ooh Let's get numb, be my poison Be my poison Damn I'm fucked up and I'm messing it up As I think about you doing the right things You symbolize there are other guys And that's enough to keep trying I find it strange how we're both like the same Even at the surface you're enticing Nothing good comes from a boy with your name Let me burn it down, so exciting! Don't want to seem obsessed with you Thought you'd give me something better to do So dumb for telling a soul how I'm into you Smoke a ----- and go and kick it and chill Let my mind wander about you a little Write some words down to cope with how I really feel Let's get numb, be my poison I want some, be my poison Be my poison I'mma get so high on you Loving everything you do Every word you drag me deeper into you, ooh Let's get numb, be my poison Be my poison You're too good for me to hold I'll write a symphony to let you go I thought you'd know Noticed how you pulled it back Overthinking wrote my best track, and oh I thought you'd know You got me in my feels And I think I like it And I can't go and hide it well When in my feels Why should I try and fight it We can kick it and try it We can kick it and try it We can kick it and try it We can kick it and try it

Damn you look good And you probably got a girlfriend Times are tough at home It seems you need a new friend, and I'd be there for you Whatever you need to do Not one to shy away From a little mayhem And right now it seems like You could use some play, and I'd be there for you Whatever you need to do 'Cause yeah you got that vibe, vibe Bad boy with a nice side Love to smoke and get high That's when you're honest with me Your inhibitions fly free I'll give you 30 minutes To find in me whatever you were missing That she couldn't provide for you, now listen Promise not to fall in love with me I'll give you half an hour Do anything you want to, I'll allow it Nobody's gotta know, the moment's ours But promise not to fall in love with me You could be my problem And I'd be your solution It's all in the process Forget the execution I'd be there for you Whatever you need to do I've been down this road And it rarely leads to somewhere But I'm like a dog Submit to you, I don't care I'd be there for you Whatever you need to do 'Cause yeah you got that vibe, vibe Bad boy with a nice side Love to smoke and get high That's when you're honest with me Your inhibitions fly free Your inhibitions fly free I'll give you 30 minutes To find in me whatever you were missing That she couldn't provide for you, now listen Promise not to fall in love with me I'll give you half an hour Do anything you want to, I'll allow it Nobody's gotta know, the moment's ours But promise not to fall in love with me I'll give you 30 minutes To find in me whatever you were missing That she couldn't provide for you, now listen Promise not to fall in love with me I'll give you half an hour Do anything you want to, I'll allow it Nobody's gotta know, the moment's ours But promise not to fall in love with me Tell me your dreams I want to know everything, everything Tell me your fears Are you scared of her, or us, or me At night are you lonely When you lay with her do you think of me? Do you think of me when you fall asleep? Am I on your mind every morning?

rain 03:23
Damn, you ain't know how much I love feeling your touch It's kinda got me insane Ooh, I can't resist it I'll take what you're giving You won't ever hear complaints When the storm clouds come in You can find me running Out where pleasure meets the pain Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Butterflies going like they're 'bout to take flight Nervous and excited gonna have some fun tonight I've been preperating for you to drop by Gotta look my bestest if we throwing it down tonight Gotta look my bestest if we throwing it down tonight Gotta look my bestest if we throwing it down tonight Green in my -----, we ain't going out tonight Flying like a plane while you drive me out my mind You and me got something beyond what meets the eye The eye The physical feeling you bring me I can't deny Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Cover me in your rain Every time I think I've finally gotten over you You always find a way to creep back into my love...

I know I shouldn't mess this up But you know as well as me That I can't get enough And honesty is breaking up Only if... for the two of us Why do I find myself in this place Every few years I see your face And I remember everything We used to do "Coulda, shoulda, woulda" isn't But my heart won't forget it soon I found myself Back in love with you Yeah I know it's kinda strange (kinda strange) I guess I could blame it on the quarantine (pour the champagne) What little sense I thought I had (what little sense) Gone like a wave that washes up on dry land Why do I find myself in this place Every few months there's someone new And I contemplate on what I Want to do "Coulda, shoulda, woulda" isn't I can't keep my heart imprisoned I found myself Back in love with you

longing 03:08
I don't know how I'll forget But I can't live with these regrets And I still see you wherever And dream of us together You don't wanna know, you don't wanna know What I did for love, what I did for us I'd have sold my soul to let your demons go But I messed things up, afraid of love Yeah, I'm so fortunate with all that I have, but I'm still longing, I'm still longing for you It's unfinished business and I can't forget that I'm still longing, I'm still longing for you The one... You're the one that got away I remember that cold November day I was torn up inside when you stood by my side Gave me your number - I felt something again But I didn't want you to know in fear that you'd let me go So I stood burning up messed up on love You don't wanna know, you don't wanna know What I did for love, what I did for us I'd have sold my soul to let your demons go But I messed things up, afraid of love Yeah, I'm so fortunate with all that I have, but I'm still longing, I'm still longing for you It's unfinished business and I can't forget that I'm still longing, I'm still longing for you

I been in that same place waiting for you Got a lot of baggage you wanna undo And nothing seems to help you find your way through I can tell it in the way you check out like I do Pretty sure our stories will end the same And we're postponing feeling that kinda pain So for now let me feel you take me away And imagine the life that we coulda made Now we keep it casual But don't know what the future holds I'm ready for anything Don't want to rush to wedding rings... yet I just wanna love you love you Love you love you love you Like broken hearted lover lover Lover lover lovers I just wanna hold you til you love me Like you love her Let you love away the hurt from loving All the others So, why don't we get together? The sex might be better for us... anyway Makes sense, since we're on the same level The subtle signs I can tell you ain't happy with her Please stop me if I start to fall But please don't go and break my heart Take it at the pace you like And fix me 'til we're both alright I just wanna love you love you Love you love you love you Like broken hearted lover lover Lover lover lovers I just wanna hold you til you love me Like you love her Let you love away the hurt from loving All the others I just wanna make something beautiful Something that can find the cure in both of us Something that can heal the pain the trauma caused And find our way back to love I just wanna love you love you Love you love you love you Like broken hearted lover lover Lover lover lovers I just wanna hold you til you love me Like you love her Let you love away the hurt from loving All the others I just wanna love you love you Love you love you love you Like broken hearted lover lover Lover lover lovers I just wanna hold you til you love me Like you love her Let you love away the hurt from loving All the others Hold you til you love me like you love her Hold you til you love me like you love her Hold you til you love me like you love her Hold you til you love me like you love her

make the bed 03:10
I'd be remiss to not recognize differences Disagree on fundamental politics Curious minds want to prove they're best Yet I can't say that we're polar opposites Tension's always there, ready to ignite Smoke-filled rooms under candlelight When we get together, things turn out alright Some magic in the touch keeps us alive You can't tell me that there's nothing To do except despair You can't tell me that there's something The physical can't repair So why don't we Make the bed, make the bed Make the bed The place we Get over it, over it Over it Where you could make me forgive anything Where you could make me forget everything Let me come over, make it complicated Boy, we don't have to dwell on it We don't need to talk, just hands all over Storytelling with our bodies in a way We forget all of our grievances Only love in the raw and honest Getting high 'til something better hits You can't tell me that there's nothing To do except despair You can't tell me that there's something The physical can't repair So why don't we Make the bed, make the bed Make the bed The place we Get over it, over it Over it Where you could make me forgive anything Where you could make me forget everything I don't have anything to lose By telling you I love what you do And I love making love with you So much, there's nothing I won't do We don't need to say anything Continue to talk with our hands And forget why we got mad Take the anger out in the bed

It wasn't supposed to happen this way I'm so love-starved that I can't stay The proper emotional distance And to hell with my resistance Right now my feelings won't rest I'm trying to do what's best But these butterflies won't settle Thinking you might treat me better than him My kryptonite, can't run and hide You make me weak in my knees You got appeal, and I want to see You every night in my dreams 'Cause we could be fine Or Bonnie and Clyde Caught up in the potential We'd be alright, and we'd never fight 'Cause everything's inconsequential Or we could stay friends So I can see your pretty face again Way longer than goodbye Stay longer than goodbye And it's not enough with me Living in this one-sided love Stay longer than goodbye Way longer than goodbye I need answers 'Cause I got so many questions That keep going unanswered 'Cause I won't ask the questions Could we work it out, I'm having my doubts Could we start this conversation I'm getting around, inside melting down I'm patient but tired of waiting I offer to be whatever you need My future is in your discretion I don't want to regret anything We don't have to make it official Or we could stay friends So I can see your pretty face again Way longer than goodbye Stay longer than goodbye And it's not enough with me Living in this one-sided love Stay longer than goodbye Way longer than goodbye
