More Than A Crush

I’ve got you right where I want you
I’m lining my sights, I peer through the lights
I think you know now that I want you
The feeling’s alright, and we just might
You tell me you want me to touch you
Your’ frame is so slight, so I hold you tight
We go and do what we’re supposed to
You’re such a delight, it’s one hell of a night
Chorus: Is this what love is meant to be
You shine so bright, you take care of me
All of loves’ sweet mysteries are revealed now, so I can see
I kiss you but take my time with it
There’s no need to rush, and it doesn’t take much
You want me so bad I can feel it
It’s more than a crush, you’re so electric to touch
These feelings are so hard to admit to
I say as much, but you tell me to hush
Chorus
I’ve got you right where I want you
I’m lining my sights, I peer through the lights
We go and do what we’re supposed to
You’re such a delight, it’s one hell of a night
Chorus

Plaything

It’s been days since I’ve seen you
I don’t want it to be true
I can tell there’s something wrong
I text you every hour
I’m stuck under your’ power
I should know what’s going on
Chorus: So tear me up and throw me out
I’m just your plaything, I’m just your plaything
You build me up to tear me down
It’s always the same thing, always the same thing
You play with my emotions
We go through all the motions
Maybe it’s not just me
You think it’s just a phase
We’ll both go our own ways
It’s not meant to be
Chorus: I act like there’s no one around
It’s such a strange thing, it’s such a strange thing
Hit me up if you want me now
I’m tired of waiting, tired of waiting
So tear me up and throw me out
I’m just your plaything, I’m just your plaything
You build me up to tear me down
It’s always the same thing, always the same thing

Soon To Be A Memory
03:01
|
|
||
|
We know that this won’t last
Our golden days have past
Soon to be a memory
You scream but they don’t see you
Don’t hear you when it’s the truth
Your silence is their victory
We don’t know who we can trust
It crumbles all around us
The same as it will always be
We can’t hold your attention
Too busy with deceptions
We see what you want us to see
Chorus: I know why you do what you do
You see but don’t want it to be true

Happy Dances

Hold back your fiery tears
No regrets for all those years
You dance to forget your past
True romance is never meant to last
It’s all memory now
Like the passing of the clouds
You find yourself running round
Until your next breakdown
You crack under the weight of it
Falling back on your bad habits
It’s not easy to admit the sad truth of it
But the flame is already lit
So suck down your next hit
Chorus: Forget the past, forget the past
It’s never meant to last, meant to last

Too Far To Touch
03:56
|
|

|
I will not forget
The way you held on to me
Like it was the last time you’d see me
We are not so lucky
We will not survive
But lying in your arms I feel alive
Chorus: You shine bright in the sun’s glow
Morning has come and we know
We both fear the truth and it shows
The world pulls so hard we let go
Calling out your name
On every crowded street
Seeing you in every face I meet
You’re so far away
Too far to touch
I wish I could but it would hurt too much
Chorus

Follow Me Down
03:56
|
|
||
|
I always tried to hide it
I was never one to cry
You told me the reasons why
You were never one to lie
It was so hard to believe
Was it real when I saw you leave
You said I’m the one who needs fixing
Is that all that you want from me
Chorus: If I knew what I know now
Then I could change somehow
So you’re not right for me
You won’t follow me down
I’m cold and I’m alone
I’m afraid I’m on my own
This house is not my home
But I don’t want to roam
Lying in this bed is not the same
How can I fill this empty space
Without you I’m the one to blame
I only hope you don’t feel this way
Chorus 2x

Solo

Hold yourself as you stumble back from your great escape
Telling yourself that you’ll never try that shit again
You’re disappointed waiting for what will never come
Clinging to your dreams we’ll never say it’s done
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
Like I don’t know it happens every time
You know all my vices and I know all your fears
You push me to the edge and cry your red-hot tears
I know what I wanted but I don’t have the strength to say it
I only weigh myself down knowing we can’t save us
So I lie in my bed and scroll through all your pictures
It’s not the same as seeing you

There's No Escape
03:28
|
|

|
You run too fast, you can’t sleep
You’re not the same
You open your eyes but can’t see the truth of it
You try to hide but you can’t keep avoiding it
You’ve gotta quit
They’ll make you sick
You’re holding out for something to hold you down
Soon you’ll find there’s nothing to make them proud
You still can’t reach your dreams
They shout too loud
And it brings you down
There’s no one around
It’s so far away it seems
You’re not where you want to be
With promises so hard to keep
So lay your worries on me
Chorus: You feel like there’s no escape
From living in bombed out days
I still can’t erase your mistakes
You know that you’re not to blame
