Do You Wanna Come Home With Me? 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Don't get a lot of chance to say What I feel like I should say I'm loving myself and that's okay I'm loving myself that's okay about ready to let it waste away I feel better than ever babe Honey don't you wanna stay Honey don't you wanna stay I did myself like with my head held low I broke the angle everybody knows Didn't think I'd be putting myself on show But I broke it back and everybody knows I wanna sing it everybody say Tired of being the only one in my way Do you wanna come home with me do you wanna come home with me Don't you know I love it when you say The same thing back the very next day Do you wanna come home with me Do you wanna come home with me I feel like I hit my head Everything looks a bit different But I'm pretty sure I like it But I'm pretty sure I like it I think we know it, keep it going I can't help but love this moment I'm loving myself and that's okay honey don't you wanna stay

Care 04:43
lyrics

We broke the windows, now they're scattered on the floor tinted glass shards, and now I want a little more We robbed the place blind, but I know they'll replenish the store Only idiots would ask for anymore but we don't care, do we? no we don't care, do we? Give us a hug, but don't look at me like that Just the way that sets my heart running the track beat so hard it might just break my back but this is a fling and I'm totally cool with that cus we don't care, do we? no we don't care I'd clear my bank account so I could take you out We'd own the town I'd never let you down The way you look at me you're all I see Babe let's not waste time I wanna make you mine Or maybe I'll stare say I don't care I love the way there's nothing you wouldn't want to share I'll pretend it's just with me, those other boys aren't there, though why would I care I love the way you drink wine until you're tasting air but then I get concerned so I order you perrier even though we don't care, do we? no we don't care, do we? We go to places that I've always wanted to go I'm so glad you're the one to take me even though I'd take anyone cus that's not what matters most or maybe I'd go to a sewer if you'd join me on the stroll even though we don't care, do we? we don't care, do we? Boy isn't it is nice to catch up like we do and afterwards, all I do is miss you Wait I take that back, that last part isn't true cus I don't care, unless you care, do you? no we don't care do we? only idiots care, do we? Or maybe I'll stare say I don't care no I don't care I do not care Babe let's be fair I just don't care I need you there but I don't care

If I'd said, That I wanted to take this further Would you say, that you'd agree If I'd said, That I was tired of playing games Would you stop, playing with me And do you know What I want? Because I don't know what you want I wanna be Wide, Wide Awake What did this look like, like to you honey

The Jealous Type 04:23
lyrics
I left my brain on and that helps noone Because when i'm thinking I'm basically only thinking of you And wondering If you are too or are you basically only thinking of him I never thought I was the jealous type Do you promise to vidcall me later tonight? So I can ask you how you've been or maybe just check you're not with him Maybe I'll just bide my time Tell everyone you're mine I know we haven't discussed that yet But should we change our relationship statuses? And you can tell me that you're fine, if you like but I know that's nothing right, and I feel like I'm on fire But I'm not about to be the first person to say that in the meantime I'm not fine cus you're all that's on my mind And you can tell me that you love me if it helps you sleep at night It's inconsiderate but it makes me smile I'm not about to be the first person to say that in the meantime I want more cus you're someone I adore I left my heart on And that helps noone I wish I could Not give a shit, and use you like I should Cus I think you might be using me But I'm too in love with you to see and If it keeps me around then use me as you want to And you can tell me that you're mine if you like but I know you've got your eyes set on several other guys And I'm not about to be the only one that makes you smile But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to at least try

Weak Of Mind 03:39
lyrics
buy track
I left all my intentions on the side Cus I never get it right I put my own carnal things on display next to ashes and flowers No I don't know how to talk to you about this Well actually I know how to talk to you about this but I don't wanna disappoint you when I say I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be your meat Cus you know that I love it but I can't be trusted to look out for myself babe I want ground under my feet Babe I, I don't quite understand myself I know what I like but I don't know if it's right yeah As you know i'm not weak i'm not weak i'm not but I'm so weak of mind I'd fall over and give you whatever you want if you'd say that you're mine

She Loves Me 02:55
lyrics
buy track
I knew somebody who wanted me bad (or so she said) she'd always kick me then want me back (we went in circles like this) She had me following her like a dog (and I wanted my leash) I hate her so much, and I need her by me I love her so much, I can't stand when she breathes And I don't think I ever really get it right but I'm always just so eager to give it another try she can kick me she can hate me she can beat me till I'm dead but no matter she wants does I'm all over her when she says She Loves Me She Loves me (She loves me not) She makes me feel like I'm king of the block until she decides I'm not She uses me like meat and I hate that I like it I'm keep tryin to fight it She burns me from both ends and builds me back up again all the while striking up the next match cus she knows how this ends you know i'm tired of being thrown through this loop but I can't get over loving all the things that we do She's the devil given form and I should only want her dead You know she messed me with my head when she said And now I'm thinking about her everyday But I'm thinking that I hate her and it gets me so irate and I don't trust a single word that that either one of us says but no matter how say I'm feeling, we'll just take turns looking at the ceiling you know i'm tired of being thrown through this loop but I can't get over loving all the things that we do She's the devil given form and I should only want her dead You know she messed me with my head when she said

Talk 04:44
lyrics

So I guess we're just friends and I guess you're fine with that So I gotta do what's best what's best for us And I guess I gotta be I gotta be fine with that So I guess I am I guess I am But I can't look at you no I can't look at you without wanting to puke my guts out with details and doting and hating and wrestling but you can look at me and see what you wanna see well that's not a luxury that's afforded to me So I guess we won't talk No I guess we won't talk Baby watch me fall apart trying to be your everything If you wanted we could have it all or I guess we could just not talk Babe you wanna be playing games with me Oh but I'm such a flirt And I guess I can make friends with benefits work Babe you want me to be something that don't sit right with me and I'm trying to force this to work oh I suck at being a flirt so maybe we shouldn't BABY THIS ARRANGEMENT JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME YOU'RE MESSING WITH MY HEAD AND I'M TRYING TO FIND MEANING WHERE THERE JUST WON'T BE YOU SAY THAT WE'RE NOTHING, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FOR YOU THIS WAS NOTHING, CUS YOU'RE ALL I NEED
