Catch Me If You Can
04:53
|
|||
Eighteen years old and I'm all on my own
Ran away from a place called home
Wanted to see where this dream could go
So many new faces along this road
I drove from Florida to New York
In pursuit of this dream I can't ignore
If you can find me, find me
Then catch me if you can
If you can love me, love me
Then make me understand
Why it's so hard to, hard to
So hard to comprehend this life
I just don't understand
Twenty years old and I'm all alone
Living on a couch in the studio
Had crippling debt from student loans
All I could afford to eat was Cheerios
I'm writing songs that no one knows
Wondering if anyone would come to my shows
If you can find me, find me
Then catch me if you can
If you can love me, love me
Then make me understand
Why it's so hard to, hard to
So hard to comprehend this life
I just don't understand
I just don't understand
So catch me if you can
Find me, find me
Oh, find me, oh
If you can find me, find me
Oh, find me, oh
If you can find me, find me
Oh, find me, oh-oh-oh
So catch me if you can find me
Oh, find me, oh
Find me, oh
If you can find me, oh, find me
Oh, find me, oh
If you can find me, oh, find me
Oh, find me, oh (Hey, oh)
So catch me if you can find me
Oh, find me, oh
Oh, find me, oh
If you can find me, oh, find me
Oh, find me, oh (So catch me if you can)
If you can find me, find me
Oh, find me, oh-oh-oh
1, 2, 3 (So catch me if you can)
If you can find me, find me
Then catch me if you can
If you can love me, love me
Then make me understand
Why it's so hard to, hard to
So hard to comprehend this life
I just don't understand

Caught Her Dancing
05:07
|
|||
Oh, I caught her dancing slowly
A beautiful sight to see
The way she moves her hands so lovely
I'm lucky as can be
In the purest form, these memories
Will calm me when I sleep
Every single dream I dream of
Consists of you and me
Oh, my darling
Let the waves crash over me
And the language she has spoken
Is of the land and sea
And oh, my darling
See the light between the trees
Please don't stop those movements now
'Cause you're like the wind and breeze
She took me to her secret hideout
A beach bungalow
Each moment passing was the high note
A song the birds would know
I wonder if she's smiling at this
Story that I wrote
Dance another dance I tell her
And spin her on her toe
And oh, my darling
Let the waves crash over me
And the language she has spoken
Is of the land and sea
And oh, my darling
See the light between the trees?
Please don't stop those movements now
'Cause you're like the wind and breeze
So elegant and free
And oh, my darling
Let the waves crash over me
And the language she has spoken
Is of the land and sea
And oh, my darling
The light between the trees
Please don't stop these movements now
'Cause you're like the wind and breeze
So elegant and free

Habitat Of Love
02:57
|
|||
Please don't be embarrassed
That you cry too much
If I had flowers in my eyes
The soil would be too dry
It's not enough
You've got this
Perfect habitat of love
Somedays they're flooded
But the craziest thing
Is how they still stand tall
Even against the rains
When days are tough
This perfect
Habitat of Love
Mmmm
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Well it's hurricane winds
When she's touching her face
But the petals won't fall
Cuz they can't be replaced
This feeling that is
Such a familiar place
Maybe it's love?
Maybe it's something new
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh oh oh
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh oh oh
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah oh woah oh woah
Oh woah oh oh no no no no no
Don't be scare of what you feel
It's a blessing not a curse
So let's make a deal
To always love
The gardener that needs a hug

Yellow Rose
06:33
|
|||
I took my heaviest book
And I placed you inside
With each breath that you took
Rested soft by my side
Before your petals could fall
And colors would fade
I'd preserve your heart
And press you into the page
Mmm
You're my yellow rose
Mmm
I'll take you wherever I go
And I like to think
That I know what you think
And I spend too long
Spend too long in my dreams
I'm fixated on
What this could be
This purpose I hope
I hope that you can see
I've got this pen and this paper
But I don't know how I'll get there
And I just want people to see
To see what they need
To love everyone and be free
They said things would get easier
Once I made it, the money would roll in
I know this seems impossible
This insane situation we're in
They said things would get easier
Once I made it, the money would roll in
I know this seems impossible
This insane situation we're in
You're my rose
But this is my dream
You're all that I want
But what do I need?
I took my heaviest book
And placed you inside
With each breath that you took
Rested soft by my side
Before your petals could fall
And colors would fade
I'd preserve your heart
And press you into the page

Uni's Not For Me
03:43
|
|||
Six months in, I think I've had it
I'm destined for greater things
I don't mean to be dramatic
I know this is what you wanted for me
Staying up and stressing out
This is not where I wanted to be
I wanna be where the wind blows
I wanna see where the light goes
I wanna travel the world and the seven seas
Look in her eyes and feel the breeze
From Mexico to Sidney
Try all the food and live in ease
But I'm sorry, mom, for all these things
But I need you to know: uni's not for me
Maybe I'm not so good with learning
When people try to teach me things
My brain might be a bit broken
I think it's fueled by discovery
The best way to jump is when I bend my knees
Or spread my wings, or try different things
I'll change my landing, you'll see
'Cause I'm gonna travel the world and the seven seas
Look in her eyes and feel the breeze
From Mexico to Sidney
Try all the food and live in ease
But I'm sorry, mom, for all these things
But I need you to know: uni's not for me
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think it's time, time for me to run
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think that it's time, time for me to run
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think that it's time, time for me to run (Flying)
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think that it's time, time for me to run
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think that it's time, time for me to run
I'm not going back, I'm done feeling stuck
I think that it's time, time for me to run
I'll travel the world and the seven seas
Look in her eyes and feel the breeze
From Mexico to Sidney
Try all the food and live in ease
But I'm sorry, mom, for all these things
But I need you to know that uni's not for me
Oh, I need you to know that uni's not for me, oh

Free
03:24
|
|||
When everybody's doing the same thing
Like they're all living the same dream
Not even these chords are original
I wish we thought beyond the digital
In the spiral of an instant
We're lost in the scanners
They'll feed you some honey
Make you forget all your manners
Falling quickly into who you don't want to be
Sending smiles and hearts behind a computer screen, woo!
We're gonna be free
We're gonna be free
Take it from me
It's not easy living lives within our lives
Not knowing which path to choose or which to sacrifice
Maybe you've been desecrated or even obligated
But you have the right to choose
There's no snooze then you lose
So look them in the eyes and tell them being kind
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
We're gonna be free
We're gonna be free
We're gonna be free
We're gonna be free
So I'll smile at a stranger
I'll call up all my neighbors
I'll find a friendly face and say
We're gonna be free
We're gonna be free
Take it from me, yeah

Are You Ok? (ft. Wolfi)
02:58
|
|||
You don't have to fake it
You know you can tell me what you feel
I can see your vacant stare at the wall
Holding onto something
But I just don't know why
You think that it's easier, easier not to say
Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Smokin' in the alleyway
Midnight howling at the moon
I know she's plotting her escape
To a place where no one knew
I know you hate when seasons change
But don't you wanna see it all in bloom?
A complicated disarray of lonely thoughts until noon
Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay
Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay
Are you okay?

Still In Love
04:03
|
|||
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you, yeah, woo
(Hey, hey)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
In the middle of the night, I'll be there for you
I would gladly tear my walls all down for you
You could show up to my house with a sledgehammer or two
'Cause I wanna prove to you that I still love you
(Hey, hey)
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you, yeah
She said, "In the middle of the night, I still dream of you
I think of all the things we used to do, ooh
My subconscious is focused on you
I don't really wanna find someone new
I saw your face, it made me wanna say"
(Hey, hey)
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you, yeah (Oh)
And I can't help, I've got you on my mind
All these shed tears, I wish you were near me
If I could just turn back the time
Would you still, would you still be near me?
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
In love with you, you, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you
Ayy, oh
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you, yeah
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you, you
In love with you, yeah, in love, baby
Oh, oh, oh my God, I'm still in love with you (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Road Trip
03:36
|
|||
You can pack your bags
Cuz we're headed on vacation
I'll throw em in the back
Onto our destination
Don't forget your toothbrush
You don't need no makeup
Unless you want it
Baby that's fine with me
Headed on a road trip
Let's go let's go
Watchin' every town we dip on past
You're in charge of the tunes
Just skip the ones
That make the time just fly on by
I think we make it
Just 6 more hours
I'm getting tired
Feel it in my eyes
I see your reflection
Sleeping so softly
Pillow on the window
It'll be alright-iiiiiii
And I know you been wondering
Thinking of plundering
Every vending machine that you lay your eyes on
I know I know I know I know
We're getting close to the destination
But it's only our first stop
We're gonna do it again
Hey
You can pack your bags
Cuz we're headed on vacation
I'll throw em in the back
Onto our destination
Don't forget your toothbrush
You don't need no makeup
Unless you want it
Baby that's fine with me
Headed on a road trip
Let's go let's go
Watchin' every town we dip on past
You're in charge of the tunes
Just skip the ones
That make the time just fly on by
I will love you longer than a lifetime oh yeah
And these memories last forever in my head
You make it hard to focus on the road that's ahead
But I'll drive us safely to the end
I will love you longer than a lifetime oh yeah
And these memories last forever in my head
Oh I know the moments are the best it's unsaid
Got a photo album open on the bed
I will love you longer than a lifetime oh yeah
And these memories last forever in my head
You make it hard to focus on the road that's ahead
Thank God none of the lights are red
You can pack your bags
Cuz we're headed on vacation
I'll throw em in the back
Onto our destination
Don't forget your toothbrush
You don't need no makeup
Unless you want it
Baby that's fine with me
Headed on a road trip
Let's go let's go
Watchin' every town we dip on past
You're in charge of the tunes
Just skip the ones
That make the time just fly on by
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ah

Pockets In Her Dress
04:04
|
|||
It's the little things in life
Little things that make her smile
Like party gowns and baby cows
And pockets in her dress
I know it may seem
Seem so miniscule to some
But when she runs out yelling check this out
And her hands fall perfectly in them
Oh I sometimes forget
To fall in love with the little things
But she's got pockets in her dress
And it seems it's all she needs
Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh oh
Oh it's the little things in life
The AC working in her car
She's taking photos of the stars
Knowing home is where we are
Oh I sometimes forget
To fall in love with the little things
But she's got pockets in her dress
And it seems it's all she needs
Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh oh
Lost on her own escapade
Running from the law
But you know she'll evade
Tells me take a chance
Close my eyes drift away
It's not worth it to let the worst take the reigns
The only thing I want you
To take from what I say
It will sit on the front side of your brain
The little things will always be
The way to love
Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh Woah oh
Woah oh oh oh
