Lyrics:

Vs 1
Purple skin/Off-white wings
You're still an angel to me
I see your eyes/It's okay, we all cry/sometimes
Why not now?

{Chorus}
I feel the damp earth beneath my bare feet
The warm trees encircle me
I feel someone there
And I'm scared

Vs 2
Paper thin/plastic limbs
You're still an angel to me
I see the regret in your eyes/It's all right, we all lie/sometimes
Why not now?

{chorus}

Bridge
I'm scared~ (x4)
Sometimes I feel lost inside/I don't know what to do
Feel my way in the dark/I'll give my hand to you
Ohhh, sometimes I wonder why/Wonder how...
Sometimes I think... why not now?

Outro
Hey!
You know, you know, I will never let you fall
You know that sometimes you must stand tall
You know, you know, I will never let you fall
(x3)

Heartbeat

Lyrics:

Verse 1
I hear the whispers and I feel the stares
You know I notice you, but you don't care
And I smile on, the only thing I know how to do in these situations
I don't know how to react
But you're in my face, and that's a fact
And I never asked for your attention

Pre-chorus
I don't know where you got the clue
That made you believe I was into you
Cause that notion just isn't true
And you're acting straight up strictly rude
I don't think I could be clearer,
But if you dare come one step nearer - 
I'll make you regret it!

Chorus
Cause I'm not going home with you tonight
I'd rather be alone, cause it feels right
Hey mister, did ya hear me? I said no, get out of my sight
Cause I'm not going home with anyone tonight

Verse 2
He should've learned to watch his mouth
And how to keep his filthy hands to himself
As I resist and he persists I know I must give in,
I can't win, I'm not stronger than him
Maybe I shoulda dressed more conservatively 
So that he wouldn't be mentally undressing me
But why should that be a lady's responsibility?

Prechorus - Chorus

Bridge
Hello, officer, I'd like to report a crime
I'm sorry, no, there were no witnesses at the time
What do I gotta do to get through to you?
I swear on my mother I'm telling the truth
But all I got are my words and my tears for proof
Cause some scars don't show on the outside
And some scars will never heal
Some scars we spend our whole lives trying to hide
But that don't make them any less real
Teach me, teach me, tell me how I'm supposed to feel
Cause I don't know, I don't know, how I'm supposed to heal

Chorus

Home With You

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Say you want me, make it real
Cause I know exactly just how I feel
When you come next to me 
I feel the ecstasy
Oh what you do to me
Is so surreal
Take it easy, take it slow
I break easily, dontcha know
They say I'm a wild child
But I'm fragile
It's just been a while
Since I've shown my soul

Chorus
Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain
While the sun is shining through the clouds as they evaporate away
The visible spectrum is in full bloom in the afternoon

Verse 2
It's all new to me, can you tell
I've been living in my own personal jail cell
I've been confined
I'm losing my mind
Behind these steel bars
And it's been hell
So I try to hide my eyes
So you wont see through me, I gotta admit I'm a little bit shy
But you're the kind of guy 
That don't ask what or why
You just feel the vibes
And that's how we get by

[Chorus]
