Dodged a Bullet - Delilah Brao

Written by Delilah Brao, Annamarie Rosanio & Mark Kraus

Verse:
I knew every corner’s edge
Knew the things that made us friends 
Even when we played pretend, I knew it then

Quiet fighting in the car
Make a joke take it too far
I'm not sensitive but God, you make it hard

Chorus:
Felt like something I’d known
In my childhood home
Marked door frames but don’t think I’ve grown
I still fight like a child when you let go

Got too good at lying
Thank my Father’s side and
I’m what I hate and it kills me
Hit back and then I feel guilty 

Verse 2:
Feeling cynical again 
Get too caught up in revenge 
To even tell if I’m the one who’s making sense

You got eyes just like my Mom
Only see what I did wrong 
Never listen till I’m saying what you want 

Chorus:
Felt like something I’d known
In my childhood home
Marked door frames but don’t think I’ve grown
I still fight like a child when you let go

Got too good at lying
Thank my Father’s side and
I’m what I hate and it kills me
Hit back and then I feel guilty 

Bridge:
Blame it on the floorboards
Creaking on the stairs 
Slamming all the doors just
Proving that I’m there
Quiet when you call me 
Think that I don’t care
But isn’t it romantic?
Treating you unfair
 
Chorus:
Felt like something I’d known
In my childhood home
Marked door frames but don’t think I’ve grown
I still fight like a child when you let go, let go

Got too good at lying
Thank my Father’s side and
I’m what I hate and it kills me
Hit back and then I feel guilty

Childhood Home (voice memo) - Delilah Brao

Cry Over Boys - Alexander 23 (Cover by Delilah Brao)

Verse: 
It sucks cause I still light up when I talk about what we used to be 
I guess I have a lot of questions about what you did to me
Jekyll and Hyde could make you look consistent
On me all night then say you need distance

Pre:
Both our first loves, yeah, you can never get back
Better undone than tryna force a mismatch 
Darling, darling, I don’t know how to ask you 
Darling, darling, why is lovin’ me an issue?  

Chorus:
Why does it matter if I'm “the one?”       
When we’re together it’s always fun
Take it day by day 
Don’t worry bout’ tomorrow, do you love me today?

Why do you let your mind go numb?
You said we’re finished before we’re done
Take it day by day 
Don’t worry bout’ tomorrow, do you love me today?

Post:
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

Verse:
I bet you tell your friends and all your family that I’m fucked in the head
But they don’t my half of it, you’re leaving out the things that you said 
Wouldn’t even let me try to help you fix things 
Are you’re doin fine? Cause I’m still reminiscing 

Pre:
Both our first loves, yeah, you can never get back 
Better undone than tryna force a mismatch 
Darling, darling, I don’t know how to ask you 
Darling, darling, why's lovin’ me an issue?  

Chorus:
Why does it matter if I'm “the one?”       
When we’re together it’s always fun
Take it day by day 
Don’t worry bout’ tomorrow, do you love me today?

Why do you let your mind go numb?
You said we’re finished before we’re done
Take it day by day 
Don’t worry bout’ tomorrow, do you love me today?

Post:
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me today?

Do You Love Me Today? - Delilah Brao

Flannel jacket
Suitcase on the floor
For a white sand Christmas
Lift off from New York

You called me crying
Said I’m flying on my own
If I don't see you New Years
You can keep my winter clothes

Slant my seat back
Low head and heavy heart
No turning back now
From a west coast work of art

Said you’d love forever
Who knew forever had a close
And you’ve got colder weather
So you can keep my winter clothes

Ah
Watch me through your telescope
Ah
I’m waking up you’re getting stoned
Ah
That city wind burns to the bone
So you, you can keep my winter 
Keep my winter
Keep all my winter clothes

Your mom still texts me
I'm not sure that she knows
I guess I kept your house key
So you can keep my winter clothes

by Delilah Brao and Josh Polack

Winter Clothes (voice memo) - Delilah Brao

VERSE 1
Woke up from doing cannonballs
Too tired for somersaults
Learned we can't have it all

Now we’re washed up feeling incomplete
Sunburnt from summer heat
Lost our old need for speed
Cause this ain't who we were supposed to be

VERSE 2
Roam the aisles at the dollar store
Face off with candy corn
We used to smile more

Better life in discount magazines
Used to be fantasy
Headlines feel make believe
Cause this ain't who we were supposed to be

BRIDGE
Lately, I don't feel right
Too much changed overnight
Now I'm paralyzed by who we were supposed to be
Bad news stuck on my screen 
Mass shootings on TV
All so messed up by who we were supposed to be

VERSE 3
It's too hot to be a summer day
Our good days sweat away
Those bullets ricochet 

Fall asleep out somewhere in the sun 
Big dreams that never come
Daydreams of who we were supposed to be

OUTRO
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Who We Were Supposed To Be (voice memo) - Delilah Brao

Verse 1
I hope your fingers fit together with a little shove
I want you to pour out your heart yeah, but she’s not the one

Pre
Hope midnight she comes home to see ya drownin’ 
Can’t tell her what's on your mind, your lies are clouded
Try to hide it all and watch it fall apart 
I hear you’re doing well, wish the truth was something else

Chorus
Yeah, I hope she looks like me but worse
Hope she calls you by the name I gave you first
Hope your parents like me more than her
But no hard feelings if we both start healin’
I just wonder how you are

Verse 2
I hope you throw out all my letters ‘cause they’re starting fights
I don’t remember what I wrote there, but I think she might

Pre
Hope midnight she comes home to see ya drownin’ 
Can’t tell her what's on your mind, your lies are clouded
Try to hide it all and watch it fall apart
I hear you’re doing well, wish the truth was something else

Chorus
Yeah I hope she looks like me but worse (but worse, but worse, but worse)
Hope she calls you by the name I gave you first (I gave you first)
Hope your parents like me more than her (but worse, but worse, but worse)
But no hard feelings if we both start healing, I just wonder how you are (ohh)

Hope she does it just like me but worse (but worse, but worse, but worse)
Hope she feels so similar it hurts (it hurts, it hurts, it hurts you)
Hope you never find something that works (it’ll never work, it’ll never work)
When you think you’re fine but I’m on your mind and you know it’s getting worse

Outro
Yeah, I hope she looks like me but worse
We were the best and she’s just worse
You can’t forget ‘cause I’m your first
Yeah, I hope she’s just like me but… worse

But Worse - Delilah Brao

VERSE 1
Black and white
Alive in print
Newspaper pages
Missing for ages
Under my skin

Toothless grin
Taped to the fridge
Hung on a magnet
Picture day classic
Milk Carton Kid
Gone with the wind

CHORUS
Have you seen her?
She’d look a lot like me
Only happier
She’d be happier
Have you seen her?

VERSE 2
Locker Love
In the back of your car
Knew it was dangerous
Running away
With somebody’s heart

Still you did
And it wasn't enough
I kept what was left 
But you upped and kept 
The person I was

CHORUS
Have you seen her?
She’d look a lot like me
Only happier
She’d be happier
Have you seen her?

BRIDGE
5’5
Brown Eyes
Chuck Taylors 
Full of life 

Home phone
Broken bone
Chasing butterflies

X2

CHORUS
Have you seen her?
She’d look a lot like me
Only happier
She’d be happier
Have you seen her?
