Better When You're Close

Pick me up and hold me close.
I never want to let you go.
Two figures reaching out, almost touching hands. As if that's some kind of proof.
I tremble when you touch me,
I feel like I'm on my knees.
I can't wait 'til you touch me,
Your heart beats on my sleeve.
I know,
Pull me in close,
Taking our time until you can feel it.
I know,
We can get so high,
Pulling away so that I don't feel your
Presence,
Fucked up when you're present,
So I don't feel so.
Fucked up when you're present,
Wishing you were with me,
Better when you're close.
Nervous talk, nervous laugh.
Dusty face and salty hands.
Flying through the desert lands.
A strangled voice,
But it feels like heaven.
I tremble when you touch me,
I feel like I'm on my knees.
I can't wait 'til you touch me,
Your heart beats on my sleeve.
I know,
Pull me in close,
Taking our time until you can feel it.
I know,
We can get so high,
Pulling away so that I don't feel your
Presence,
Fucked up when you're present,
So I don't feel so.
Fucked up when you're present,
Wishing you were with me,
Better when you're close.

She's got red pants and space boots
Leather jacket with the gold hoops.
Heading for me giving the green light.
Flashing lights reflecting in her eyes.
I think she,
Maybe likes me,
Every though my friends say that's her job.
She says she's,
Off at 3,
Gonna take her home and prove them wrong.
Show me how you wanna be loved.
Show me how you wanna be touched.
Break it down, you've done enough, it's my turn, you're off the clock.
Show me how you wanna be loved.
Hop in the back seat of a cab,
Hands moving, lips are not enough,
Roll the windows up so we can hide.
We can't wait till we hit the east side.
Undress me, so slowly,
It's not like there's any kind of rush.
Cause this feels, so surreal,
Keep me going it's never too much.
Show me how you wanna be loved.
Show me how you wanna be touched.
Break it down, you've done enough, it's my turn, you're off the clock.
Show me how you wanna be loved.
Show me how you wanna be loved
Show me how you wanna be touched
Take me to your favourite spot, twist me up and never stop.
So show me how you wanna be loved.

Wildest Ride

I got a ticket to the wildest ride,
Let's valley valet to the front of the line.
I took my shoes off trying to save us time,
Speak to me slowly, I'm alive, I'm fine.
Cherry smoke, sugar foam, sticky sweet is my vibe, alright.
Roller coast, there it goes, just buckle up and we'll arrive on time.
I want to feel more, I want to taste more,
I want it all, I want it all.
Super sensations, no expectations.
I want it all, I want it all.
Now close your eyes and guess where we are now,
Hey pretty baby, we're alive and how,
I wanna to run away and lose this crowd.
But here, this universe is fake and loud.
Cherry smoke, sugar foam, sticky, sweet is my vibe, alright.
Roller coast, there it goes, just settle in and we can go all night.
I want to feel more, I want to taste more,
I want it all, I want it all.
Super sensations, no expectations.
I want it all, I want it all.
Feel the rush of relief and
I feel my body shake.
Closer to the belief that,
We live the dreams we make.
A lifetime of promises,
Full of take, take, and take.
All I need to complete this,
Is a little more of that taste.
I got a ticket to the wildest ride.
I got a ticket to the wildest ride.
I got a ticket to the wildest ride.
I got a ticket to the wildest ride.

Bend to Break
03:38
|

|
I'm spellbound, black magic,
Thinking 'bout a dream that will never happen.
Compulsive over-sharer,
All a part of my self-destructive behaviour.
Love circles, no ending.
I'm so obsessed, and there's no pretending.
The best of intention,
Stuttering your name with all apprehension.
Feels like love.
I wanna hate it, but it
Feels like love.
Bend to break, and I'm falling apart.
Push and pull, I don't know what I want.
Bend to break, and it all comes apart.
Again.
The risk of curiosity,
Lack of response trying to salvage modesty.
The romance of uncertainty
Reoccurring dreams of romantic prophecies.
Feels like love,
I wanna hate it, but it
Feel like love.
Bend to break, and I'm falling apart.
Push and pull, I don't know what I want.
Bend to break, and it all comes apart.
Again.
And while the moment's fleeting,
The mark is everlasting.
The things you take for granted,
Are prone to all collapsing.
Bend to break, and I'm falling apart.
Push and pull, I don't know what I want.
Bend to break, and it all comes apart.
Again.

Dark Place

Hurry up
Rolling out of bed at 10
Slowing down
Knives are in my back again
Leave the house, drive my car
Different route, same ol’ place
Breaking up repeated thoughts
Strip the January grey
It still feels the same
I like to learn the hard way
I like to learn the hard way
Why do I love the hard way?
It takes me to my dark place
I was so
High it felt like fantasy
Is it you?
Or am I just seeing things
Shoulda known
All along
Fate would slowly intervene
Spinning plates
Watch them fall
Overthinking everything
Only got myself to blame
I like to learn the hard way
I like to learn the hard way
Why do I love the hard way?
It takes me to my dark place
Trading thoughts like a secret
To feel this strange love every night
Your eyes are my weakness
I just want to repeat this
I just want to repeat this

Famous

Smoke,
Smoke and leather jackets.
It's all part of the package,
Just to fill the air.
Sing,
Singing songs with style and swagger,
A thousand wannabe Mick Jagger's,
Mops of curly hair.
Can you see?
That we're all stars in the making,
Enthusiastic shaking of your hand.
“Have you heard my band?” (“No, what’s it called?”)
I moved here as an actor,
Part-time barista and a dancer,
I don't really care...
If it's shameless, I just wanna be famous.
Because I’m shameless, I just wanna be famous,
For you.
Shine,
Keeps me from feeling worthless.
So eager for a purpose,
I want you to know my name. (“It’s SO great to meet you.”)
My only talent is persistence,
I want a verified existence,
Won’t you follow me?
In being shameless, I just wanna be famous, for you.
Because I’m shameless, I just wanna be famous,
For you.
This is how they raised us,
Can you really blame us?
This is how they raised us,
Famous for being famous.
This is how they raised us,
Can you really blame us?
This is how they raised us,
Famous for being famous.
If it's shameless, I just wanna be famous.
Cause I’m shameless, I just wanna be famous, for you.
(Can you see my name in lights?)
If it's shameless, I just wanna be famous, for you.
(Can you see my name in lights?)
Because I’m aimless, I just wanna be famous,
For you.
