[verse 1]
lately, i’ve been spending my time 
hanging at this place
watching while she’s brewing coffee
going bout her day

[pre-chorus]
i’ve never talked to her so i
don’t think she knows
i wanna go where she goes 

[chorus]
you make me 
feel like i’m floating on clouds
i can’t help 
picking you out from the crowd
everywhere i go i’m seeing visions of you 
it sounds crazy but baby i swear that it’s true 
ooh girl, can’t stop dreaming of you 

[verse 2]
rose petals swirlin’ round her head
got me out and going getting out the bed
i had to go back and see her again 
so i hopped up out the green carry out my plans
got me lost in your eyes once or twice
caught up in your smile, got me feeling like im in a paradise 
stressed up, but you always be easing my mind 
girl i ain’t a designer but think i can see you and i

[pre-chorus]
i’ve never talked to her so i
don’t think she knows
she’s making me lose control

[chorus]
you make me 
feel like i’m floating on clouds
i can’t help 
picking you out from the crowd
everywhere i go i’m seeing visions of you 
it sounds crazy but baby i swear that it’s true 
ooh girl, you make flowers bloom

[bridge]
will i get to her? 
i’m not sure what i should say
muster my courage to order a rose latte
and i say 

[final chorus]
you make me 
feel like i’m floating on clouds
i can't help
picking you out from the crowd
and i ain't no musician, but girl you my muse
screw the love songs, cuz your name is in my favourite tune
ooh girl, you make flowers bloom

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Out of mind
Out of control
Have a hundred reasons why I see them getting bored

I don't think
I'd find the cure
I just wish that things were simple like they were before

(Pre-chorus)
Baby, what’s the difference between now and then?
You don't know the difference so tell me when I'm dead

(Chorus)
Trying hard to figure out
All my worries and my doubts 
I don’t think i wanna know
I'm getting old

Trying hard to linger on
Holding on to what was gone
I don’t think I wanna know
My stories blow
I'm getting old

(Verse 2)
Overwhelmed with changing tides
A wave comes crashing down, I cannot move, I'm paralysed 

I don't think I wanna know
Why my friends are leaving me and i can't move along?

(Pre-chorus)
Baby, what’s the difference between life and death?
You don't know the difference.  I’ll tell you when I'm dead.

(Chorus)
Trying hard to get a hold
See my stories as they unfold
I don’t I wanna know
I'm getting old

All these times I try to find
Holding on to what was mine
I don’t think I wanna know
My stories blow
I'm getting old

Verse 1:
Staring at the ceiling 
Not knowing what's this feeling
I wish that I could answer all my questions 
The thoughts keep going endless and I'm 

Forced to forge a path
Not knowing what's my task
My marathon, I keep on running, lungs hurt
I can't stop now, til I burn 

Chorus 1:
It's ok to just be going on your own way 
You don't have to worry baby who knows how to play

No one blames the moon for making the drifting tides of the sea so why 
Am I still forcing every single miracle on me 

Verse 2:
Wide awake
Needing some escape
My number just keeps on getting closer 
To those who know the answer

But the inner child enraged 
Why won't it stay the same
This game of tag was never made to last
Before I could learn to move past but maybe

Chorus 2:
It's ok to just be going on your own way 
You don't have worry baby who knows how to play

Livings not a way for you to work on like a machine so why
Am I still forcing every single miracle on me 

Bridge:
It's ok, cause growing up there is no one way 
Just live your life be kind with grace 
So just stay

It's Ok (DEMO)

(Dash, what you waitin’ for?)
Don’t say goodbye

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t leave me ‘til the morning when I stay the night
Hold me close and tell me everything’s alright
Hoping that I won’t be on my own
Just stay ‘til the break of dawn

Memories of a fading dream 
A story drifting like a distant gleam
Lonely walks down an empty street
The silence whispers and the echoes meet

Won’t you stay awhile
Don’t walk away
Just stay awhile
So don’t say

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t leave me ‘til the morning when I stay the night
Hold me close and tell me everything’s alright
Hoping that I won’t be on my own
Just stay ‘til the break of dawn

君がいないとき、会いたいよ
写真も見てない、ねえ、どこ居るの
声が聞きたい、何してるの
一緒にもういいかいこのかくれんぼ
あの日のこと覚えている
一緒に笑った瞬間
まだしんぞドキドキ君のと見る
すべてが輝いている

いつかは笑える
忘れても大丈夫
あの日々は楽し
心に永遠に
Stay awhile 
Just stay awhile

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t leave me ‘til the morning when I stay the night
Hold me close and tell me everything’s alright
Hoping that I won’t be on my own
Just stay ‘til the break of dawn

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t leave me ‘til the morning when I stay the night
Hold me close and tell me everything’s alright
Hoping that I won’t be on my own
Just stay ‘til the break of dawn

just stay

Story behind my song: i live in yishun, crazy shit happens there

Lyrics: 
Verse 1# 
And I would never have to kill myself again 
Cause damn you took away the one thing that I am 
And surprisingly I’ll never be same 
Cause every inch of me is tainted with your name 
You would get me high but never have I thought 
You would shoot me down with words that killed our love 
Unsurprisingly I’ll never love again 
Unknowingly you took away my faith 

Pre-chorus 
Don’t want no twisted games 
You screwed my head and left me dead 
Oh you know 
I’ll say ‘I do’ 

Chorus 
You know you got me all messed up 
Chained me to your loveless love 
Tie me down with diamond cuffs 
Said ‘you know it could be worse’ 
You know you got me traumatised 
From the way you pierced into my eyes 
Haunting all my sleepless nights 
Said you’ll love me ‘til I die 

Verse 2# 
I could hit a tree and you would never blink 
I could stab myself, you’d force the blade back in 
And sometimes I really wonder, where’s the man who’d made my heart sing  
But I’ll do anything you want boy 
Hell I could kiss the ground you walk on 
Cause I’ve got nothing left to give 
But my blood-bounded love 

Pre-chorus 
Don’t want no twisted games
You screwed my head and left me dead 
Oh you know 
I’ll say ‘I do’ 

Chorus 
You know you got me all messed up 
Chained me to your loveless love 
Tie me down with diamond cuffs 
Said ‘you know it could be worse’ 
You know you got me traumatised 
From the way you pierced into my eyes 
Haunting all my sleepless nights 
Said you’ll love me ‘til I die 

Verse 3#  
And I’ll do anything you want 
I’ve got too much to give 
I got your name tattooed all around my wrist 
Ah ah 
And I’ll do anything you want 
I’ve got too much to give 
I got your name tattooed all around my wrist
Ah ah

Bridge 
You know you got me all messed 
You know you got me all messed up 
You know you got me all messed up 
Chained me to your loveless love 
Tie me down with diamond cuffs
Said ‘you know it could be worse’ 

Chorus
You know you got me traumatised 
From the way you pierced into my eyes
Haunting all my sleepless nights 
Said you’ll love me ‘till I die 
You know you got me traumatised 
From the way you pierced into my eyes
Haunting all my sleepless nights 
Said you’ll love me ‘til I die

Outro
Oh I do

Lyrics:

so this is how it ends
im hanging on a feeling
and though I know
I still do believe it

and if I knew 
if I saw it comin
I would've known better than to meet you

and oh
do you still think of me now and then

but so
I know exactly how this ends

so it goes
I feel you every now and then
so it goes
was it love or was it discontent?
who knows?
I would've love it anyway
and so it goes 
I'd love you till the very end

and again and again

but how would I know
its not like I've done this before 
its not like if I'd worried now
I would’ve matter anymore

but oh 
I do still think of you now and then

and oh
we're already in past tense?

and 

so it goes
I feel you every now and then
so it goes
was it love or was it discontent?
who knows?
I would've loved it anyway
and so it goes
I'd love you till the very end

and again and again

but no
I dont think I can do it all again

and now
I don't know how I survived it then

well

and so it goes
how did I find you as my friend?
but here it goes
I'll say it till the very end 
and now I know
the feelings all just came and went
and so it goes
do you need me to say it again and again?
and im better off without so 
fuck you

FUCK YOU!

Lyrics
I took the risk and I fell from the 15th floor
I took a risk and i fell harder than i’d felt before
Call me an idiot but I
Walked blindly straight to the light
Crossed all the lines, ignored the signs
Said “all the stars were aligned”
I took your hand and I flew higher than before
Wasn’t long till my heart said it wanted more
Call me a dreamer but I, Can’t help but wanna comply
Every urge, every wish , every hope, no
Every dream just one I won’t follow
And I sound kinda silly but
I liked the way that I feel
Don’t know if its real

So though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a girl for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to fate

(I’d rather leave this to fate)

It’s been a while, and I’ve healed from the last goodbye
It’s been a while since the promise that I won’t cry
Over the time that I spent
Hoping that I won’t regret
Every chance I take, Every choice I make
Cuz I know what I’m wishing for
Won’t ever come into life
But I still wanna try

So though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a girl for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to…

I hope You hear my plea
If we’re not meant to be
I’ll guard my heart till I can guarantee
The one who’s meant for me
I put my heart on the line
But I’ll draw them clear this time
No more shots in the dark, done with wishing on stars
I’ll wait and see what’s planned in the cards

And though I’ll leave it to fate
You can’t blame a kid for trying
Is it a little too late?
I’ll never stop denying
Cuz I’ve been
Bitten once, you can call me shy
I’ll never fall, no I’d rather die,
I’d push all the blame
Won’t play this game
I’d rather leave this to fate

I’d rather leave this to fate

bain st - lyrics

Never thought she’d be this way
Never thought she’d stay the same
We’re walking down bain street
In the middle of the road
We’re walking down bain street
We’re walking down

Nevermind
The coffee's cold
Just wasting her time
She doesn't even like this so
Nevermind
I’ll talk to you later
But all she does is say 
I don't really see a point

Told me she would find a way
But nothings ever gonna change
We’re walking down bain street
In the middle of the road
We’re walking down bain street
We’re walking down

Nevermind
The coffees cold
Just wasting her time
She doesn't even like this so
Nevermind
I’ll talk to you later
But all she does is say 
I don't really see a point

“Eh uh, what happen to my sock ah”
“What do you mean, what, what happen to it”
“Why is it like, hard?”
“That wasn’t me, i didn’t do anything”
“Can you just stop lying to me?”
“Okay fine, i put it in the freezer!”

Never thought i’d be this way (don’t wanna be this way)
Never thought i’d stay the same but (don’t wanna stay the same)
Nevermind
I’ll talk to you later 
Promise i won’t say
I don’t really see a point

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Wanna take the lead
Make you wanna plead 
Cartridge loaded
Undercover like Assassins Creed

Any colour that you like 
Baby I could be your type
Game point set, pick another fight 

[Verse 2]
My lipstick’s red, wish it was on you instead
I got dangerous curves but i’ll show you how to steer in bed

One step closer, now you're in deep
I know you’re bursting at the seams
Try to resist, but I know that you’re weak

[Pre-Chorus]
Ready set go, gonna lose control
Boy i’m hoping that you’ll gonna try to shoot the goal
I see the dots go round but I can’t wait for this to load

Baby don’t say no 

[Chorus]
I’ll let you push my buttons till I break 
I want your joy stick in my hand, what does it take
To let me control you, let me adore you,
Know my skills are on demand so let me show you 

Any kinda console, do whatever you like 
We can try to beat the high score that we’ll set all night
Let loose on the track, boy, come run it bacc 
Let’s run another lap 

[Bridge]
Now i’m running hot, 
Temps are rising,
Think you’d hit the spot
I don’t know what I’m writing (riding)

Needing something to cool me down
Boy i’m needing you around 
A taste of you might do the trick
The way you fit could be the fix

[Chorus]
I’ll let you push my buttons till I break 
I want your joy stick in my hand, what does it take
To let me control you, let me adore you,
Know my skills are on demand so let me show you 

Any kinda console, do whatever you like 
We can try to beat the high score that we’ll set all night
Let loose on the track, boy, come run it bacc 
I’ll let you play these games cuz I know I’ll win you back

[Outro]
Ready set go, gonna lose control
Boy i’m hoping that you’ll gonna try to shoot the goal
I see the dots go round but I can’t wait for this to load

READY, SET, GO!

Verse 1
I can’t find the words
To picture how I feel
It grips, it strains, it hurts,
Who knows if wounds can heal

Verse 2
Always in my doubts
Too busy for your heart
If this is truly love,
Why are you so above?

Chorus 1
I wanna breathe
It catches me
I play the fool
When I’m next to you

Verse 3
Nights I spend awake
Thinking,
"I'm just a huge mistake"
You dance into my view
This feeling is nothing new

Chorus 2
I wanna breathe
It catches me
I play the fool
When I’m next to you

Verse 1
Walking through these winding roads,
The leaves, they wither away
I'm caught wishing,
"I could have it all"
These thoughts, I held onto since May

Verse 2
It's not long until we say farewell
A forked path leads us away
As you turn into long gone memories
I cry,
"Oh please, won't you stay?"

Pre-chorus
It hurts to see you go
That I am not in control
I'm pulled at every last seam
A distant, forlorn dream

Chorus
So I hope you know
It seemed like time stood, still
But now it goes so
Fast, oh so fast,
If I could I would pause
Just to make this la-a-ast

Verse 3
Hiding away from this reality
I lay buried in the snow
In my heart, this cavity
Never seems to cease its growth

Verse 4
Without rest, the sun shines again
Its light piercing through my skin
Others rejoice, but I'm in pa-ain
It seems like I'll never win

Pre-chorus
It hurts to see you go
That I am not in control
I'm pulled at every last seam
A distant, forlorn dream

Chorus
So I hope you know
It seemed like time stood, still
But now it goes so
Fast, oh so fast,
If I could I would pause
Just to make this la-a-ast

Bridge
I know its time,
I can't define
This ache I feel
That's way too real
So wipe my tears
Before you leave
And it'll be clear
This is meant to be

Chorus
So I hope you know
It seemed like time stood, still
But now it goes so
Fast, oh so fast,
If I could I would pause
Just to make this la-a-ast

Last chorus
So I hope you know
It seemed like time stood, still
But now it goes so
Fast, oh so fast,
If I could I would pause
But I can't make this last
