initials

Notebook paper covered with his name
Hoping, wishing one day he'd feel the same
Cheeks flush every time he passes me by
Never brave enough to just say hi
Hi, hello
Maybe one day
I'll get the nerve to say
I've got a schoolgirl crush
That's not going away
Cause I like to write my name next to yours
I like to write my name next to yours
Our initials in a heart and arrow
Our initials in a heart and arrow
Notebook paper covered with his name
Hoping, praying maybe he feels the same
Heart stops every time he's by my side
Never brave enough to tell him why
Why, I like you
Maybe someday
I'll have the nerve to say
I've got this schoolgirl crush
That's not going away
Cause I like to write my name next to yours
I like to write my name next to yours
Our initials in a heart and arrow
Our initials in a heart and arrow
You've got me right in the heart
You've got me right in the heart
You've got me right in the heart
You've got me right in the heart
You've got me right in the heart
Right in the heart
And maybe one day
I'll get the nerve to say
I've got a schoolgirl crush
That's never going away

classic

I don’t wanna be a casualty of novelty
In a constant chase of new
How can I be enough for you?
Cause I can’t always be your shot of dopamine
But I can listen closely
And my features will stay the same mostly
But I’ll be there to sing your name
I’ll be there to sing your name
(Your name)
And I hope I’m not a place you’ll ever tire of returning
And I hope it’s not too much to keep this candle ever-burning
Tell me if there’s love
Baby we have it
I want to believe in classics
Tell me if there’s love
Baby we have it
I want to believe in classics
Tell me there’s still a forever
Tell me that you’ll never stop wanting me like you do
And we’ll only grow closer as two
Cause I want to be irreplaceable
And I want to satisfy insatiable
Tell me you need me
Tell me you won’t let go
Am I so crazy to want you to save me best for last?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Tell me if there’s love
Baby we have it
I want to believe in classics
Tell me if there’s love
Baby we have it
I want to believe in classics
Tell me, I’m your classic

different

You reeled me in with your honesty
Put it all on the line
Like it was just you and me
And you told me things
You said you’d never told anyone
And I tried to show you parts of me
But you always turned it into comedy
And I was just your nice-to-have, confidence-boost fun
Yeah, I was just a boredom fix phone call when it’s all said and done
And I really wanted to believe that you were different
I really thought you were done playing girls like pawns
And I really wanted to believe you were different
But you still sing all the same songs
How can I expect you to give
When all you’ve ever done is receive?
You only know how to take
Why would I expect you to stay
When all you know is how to run away?
It was all my mistake
But I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt
I really wanted to trust you were different
And I really thought you might’ve grown and figured it out
Oh but you’re no different
Oh you’re no different
So, I think I’d better go
I think you’ve had your fun
I think it’s all done, I think you’ve had your fun
I’m tired of being your fortress, tired of being your support
When all I get is just hurt
I deserve more

symbiosis

It was a straight boom cannon shot from the start
Sipping egg whites, two sweet beating hearts
You grabbed my hand as we ran cross the street
A familiar unknown knocking me from my feet
Let’s go for a walk late night in the cold
I couldn’t say no, I couldn’t say no
Let’s go for a walk late night in the rain
I couldn’t refrain I couldn’t refrain
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis
So we trespassed in the park
To kiss after dark
We stood in the rain
I couldn’t refrain
And you were so tall
On my tippy toes
I couldn’t say no
I couldn’t say no
To you asking if I wanted to stay just a little bit longer
Just a little bit longer, just a little longer
And you were a stranger, felt like my best friend
A night I didn’t ever want to end
And now I’m wondering where you are
I hope that you don’t go too far cause
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis
Your lips on my lips
It’s symbiosis

I'm supposed to go out drinking tonight
But the only shot I want to take is a shot with you
I'm supposed to go out dancing tonight
But the only move I want to make is a move on you
Do you want me to?
Do I make you dizzy?
Do you think of me in the middle of the night?
Do I make you dizzy?
Do you search for me in a sea of flashing lights?
I'm supposed to go out drinking tonight
But the only shot I want to take is a shot with you
I'm supposed to go out dancing tonight
But the only move I want to make is a move on you
Do you want me to?
Do I make you dizzy?
Do you think of me in the middle of the night?
Do I make you dizzy?
Do you search for me in a sea of flashing lights?
And when things get blurry
It only becomes more clear
How much I wish you were here
I wish you here
Cause ooh you make me dizzy
Ooh I think of you in the middle of the night
And ooh you make me dizzy
And ooh I search for you in a sea of flashing lights
And I'm supposed to go out drinking tonight
But the only shot I want to take is a shot with you

unfinished business

I hate your songs
But I listen to them all the time
They bring me back to those days
When you were almost mine
You drove me crazy
Floral patterned shirt
I hobbled to bars
Trying to make it work
We had an end date from the start
Just for the summer lend my heart
But I wonder how it’d be
If you never had to leave
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
Your songs are fine
But I listen to them all the time
They bring me back to those nights
When you were almost mine
I felt like a rebel
You asked me to stay
30 dollar Ubers
Just to see your face
We had an end date from the start
Just for the summer lend my heart
But I wonder how it’d be
If you never had to leave
Do you think of me?
Do you think of me?
Now we’re cool
You’re in school
And I’m so happy for you
I watch you in stories
Jeopardy categories
Oh, you and me
Have an unfinished business degree
Your songs are nice
I listen to them once in a while
They bring to back to that summer
And it makes me smile
I hope you smile

such a fool

I'm such a fool
I am such a fool
But I can’t help but think I was made for you
I'm such a fool
I am such a fool
But I can’t help but think that you think it too
You’re gonna leave
Yeah you’re gonna leave
But I can’t help but think you would stay for me
You’re gonna leave
Yeah you’re gonna leave
But I can’t help but hope you would fight for me
You’re gonna run
Yeah you’re gonna run
But I can’t help but think that we’re far from done
You’re gonna run
Yeah you’re gonna run
But I can’t help but think that for you, I’m the one
I'm such a fool
I am such a fool
But I can’t help but think I was made for you
I’m such a fool
I am such a fool
But I can’t help but think that you think it too

you're my favorite song

I’m not usually this brave
But there’s something bout your face
That makes me feel like I can be anyone
Even my full self
You’re a different kind of wave
All my life, felt out of place
But now that I’m sitting by your side
I don’t want to be anyone else
What do you say?
I came all this way
And you’ve been here all along
What do you know?
Fate sings ‘I told you so’
Now you’re my favorite song
I can’t stop singing your name
I can’t stop singing your name
I’m not usually this wild
But you’ve got me feeling like a child
Running in heels down the street
Rain pouring down on you and me
You lock your arm in mine
Some things are just meant to align
What do you say?
I came all this way
And you’ve been here all along
What do you know?
Fate sings ‘I told you so’
Now you’re my favorite song
I can’t stop singing your name
I can’t stop singing your name
What do you say?
We came all this way
And we’ve been here all along
What do you know
Will you stay or go?
Am I your favorite song?
I can’t stop singing your name
I can’t stop singing your name
I can’t stop singing your name
I can’t stop singing
