Like Me Most 04:42
LIKE ME MOST Verse: Are you really gonna come and meet me? Am I really gonna change your mind Did you really mean what you said to me? Cause my thinking isn't far behind 2x I'm sitting, waiting at the coast here for you Yea, I'm parked on PCH Gotta leave this town discreetly Until I know I'm in the right place 2x Chorus: I just wanted you to like me most Rare I get a chance to be so close I know You'll go 2x I can't take away what isn't mine But I'll always make it worth your time I know I'll let you go Verse: Need a change of pace to catch me Like a heavyset hunter would Artemis did never actually Stick with Orion for good 2x Love you cause you're a little bit dangerous In a fairly responsible way Loving me is quite courageous Crank up the music and play INSTRUMENTAL (build up) 4x Chorus: I just wanted you to like me most Rare I get a chance to be so close I know You'll go 2x I can't take away what isn't mine But I'll always make it worth your time I know I'll let you go BRIDGE 2x piano Oh I really gotta leave this town tonight Look ahead until I gain my sight Yes I am a little afraid but fear is made for those who wait Look ahead until Im far behind Look ahead until I”m far behind 4x piano Chorus: I just wanted you to like me most Rare I get a chance to be so close I know You'll go 2x I can't take away what isn't mine But I'll always make it worth your time I know I'll let you go Chorus: Chorus: I just wanted you to like me most Rare I get a chance to be so close I know You'll go 2x I can't take away what isn't mine But I'll always make it worth your time I know I'll let you go ENDING I know I'll let you go I know I'll let you go I know I'll let you go I know I'll let you go

Remember 05:08
REMEMBER Verse 1: I am the ruins of a song strung along to Sound nice to everybody else I am a mess of sounds and colors and ivory mistakes Everything originals besides the point Everything besides the point is you I let you change the key I let you sleep right next to me Pre-Chorus I didn't feel the losing then I only felt the need to leave CHORUS: I could never explain I remember what it feels like I remember in the springtime Every book that I own It would shatter in the knowledge It would shatter in the knowledge Verse 2: Do you remember when we found that fortuen teller and you thought that you for sure knew me better There is only time that's taken There is only time that takes You and I were playing in a village Both our parents seemed so antique I started counting down grandfather clocks and The sun rises when you speak Pre-Chorus I didn't feel the losing then I only felt the need to leave CHORUS: I could never explain I remember what it feels like I remember in the springtime Every book that I own It would shatter in the knowledge It would shatter in the knowledge Verse 3: I remember what it feels like in your kitchen Every morning seemed so profound Everytime I hear an ice cream truck I think of you when I hear that sound Pre-Chorus I didn't feel the losing then I only felt the need to leave CHORUS: I could never explain I remember what it feels like I remember in the springtime Every book that I own It would shatter in the knowledge It would shatter in the knowledge INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS: Amin | Cmaj | Fmaj | Cmaj |Amin I could never explain I remember what it feels like I remember in the springtime Every book that I own It would shatter in the knowledge It would shatter in the knowledge Pre-Chorus I didn't feel the losing then I only felt the need to leave

Your Skin 04:01
YOUR SKIN Verse: (piano) You're skin brims With the ink that I belong in The ink that I am in You sure know how to make a girl feel like trash Pawn her straight in for cash and your done CHORUS: Pardon the expression But I really hate to lose Pardon the aggression But you can't threaten me to choose Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique (repeat piano part for last line) VERSE: Get me on an amtrak and do it fast The tides of repercussions are looming from the past There is no way We could ever last Fear is for sale in you and I Remember when we talked about the warning signs Remember when we talked about the warning signs CHORUS: Pardon the expression But I really hate to lose Pardon the aggression But you can't threaten me to choose Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique (repeat piano part for last line) INSTRUMENTAL (Caleb solo-length of chorus) VERSE: Remember when we couldnt' sleep when you got back to town We tried to get so tired but wound up Driving around Fixated on getting Underground The windows got so foggy My palms kicked up a sweat I handed you a sentence I would never forget I gave you an exit I gave you a warning sign CHORUS: Pardon the expression But I really hate to lose Pardon the aggression But you can't threaten me to choose Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique (repeat piano part for last line) BRIDGE: Damn, you're a pessimist Damn I'm a cynic Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic Damn, you're a pessimist Damn I'm a cynic Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic Damn, you're a pessimist Damn I'm a cynic Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic Damn, you're a pessimist Damn I'm a cynic Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic CHORUS: Pardon the expression But I really hate to lose Pardon the aggression But you can't threaten me to choose Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique

17 04:25
Verse: He said I've been living with you Since I was 17 I don't know how to be If you know what I mean I said everything that you just said to me then Doesn't resonate at all So I'll just pretend Chorus: Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies Some things in life don't just end with goodbye Countless, Hopeless tries The clarity of your transparent disguise Verse 2: The suffocating still air of silent contempt My stomach just dropped I knew just what you meant Sometimes there's no perfect There is just try That starts with the pain of knowing you'd lie Verse 3: In the quietest night in a deafening room I felt smoke in my lungs but could not breathe the fumes I heard your voice speaking a heavy steel shield How could I break through these walls you've revealed Chorus: Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies Some things in life don't just end with goodbye Countless, Hopeless tries The clarity of your transparent disguise Verse 4: This empty shell of hollow regret Recreating my past of dissapointment Don't leave me here with the saddest of hearts It will only mean that I was right from the start Verse 5: He said I don't want to hurt you It's funny just how We surprise ourselves with just what we allow Chorus: Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies Some things in life don't just end with goodbye Countless, Hopeless tries The clarity of your transparent disguise Bridge: The very same walls on which I rely Serve as the blockade between you and I Chorus: (Repeat) Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies Some things in life don't just end with goodbye Countless, Hopeless tries The clarity of your transparent disguise

Paper Doll 03:59
PAPER Intro: Verse: There is no magical way No magical reason why There is no possible way That I could say goodbye I am a paper doll Stuck in the middle of pages that are soaking wet Don't try to dry me out Throw in some doubt about Back out when you've lost the bet CHORUS: I know You care Only as much as your shadow allows I know You care If only you let yourself say it out loud The past is like revolving doors Only I am stuck in yours In yours INSTRUMENTAL 2x verse Verse: There is nothing justified about people who can't say goodbye Illusions can't comfort you Not cause I want them to Only to keep you alive CHORUS: I know You care Only as much as your shadow allows I know You care If only you let yourself say it out loud The past is like revolving doors Only I am stuck in yours In yours Outro (verse)

Amazing 06:04
Verse 1: You look amazing always I've never felt that way Though it's just my opinion It's still mine to say If I look amazing always You've always looked that way Though it's just your opinion It's still yours to say Chorus: It's true That I'm amazing next to you and it's true that just your presence pulls me through And inspires My desires When you're gone My heart breaks on and on and on Verse 2: If I look amazing always No One can stay that way Will you still love me When I fade away There is a child inside me Who functions out of fear Though you shouldn't come closer You should still stay here Chorus: It's true That I'm amazing next to you and it's true that just your presence pulls me through And inspires My desires When you're gone My heart breaks on and on and on Verse 3: I know you feel alone here I'll never let you be If I have faith in you Will you have faith in me? I only speak for a reason I just grew up that way When I'm around you There's still more to say Verse 4: There is a secret magnet in only you and me Though hidden on the inside Its not hard to see Your eyes reflect the season Of course my favorite one Though I've known you for lifetimes We have just begun Verse 5: I've spent my life constructing The walls that protect me They are transparent as far as you can see I've had a revelation I've had a prophecy All your mistakes have led you to me Verse 6: I've never been so forward Never so direct I am a woman With something to protect I have no need for oracles to tell me what I know That you still love me more than you can show I've never been called out In such a truthful way With no words to hold back what I'm trying to say
