Incense, amethyst and vinyls on my nightstand
I light a candle in remembrance
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo now I'm burning sage
Doing all I can to keep the pain away
I don't stay pressed but I will confess
you do stay on my mind but this time I must resist

I'm up thinkin' 'bout you.
Thinkin' 'bout you.
I'm up thinkin' 'bout you.
You.

I made a cup of chamomile to send me out
Done my meditation so my candle's burned out
I roll over in bed try to rest my head
And suddenly I hear your voice and I feel your hands
No
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo now I'm burning sage
doing all I can to keep the pain away
The longer I stay up the more I pray
that memories of you and I will fade away

I'm up thinkin' 'bout you.
Thinkin' 'bout you.
I'm up thinkin' 'bout you.
You.

I smoked my last gram
Said my last chant
But I'm still right here thinkin' 'bout you
Seems like my rituals won't do to get rid of you so I'll be up all night
So what is there to do
I guess I'll watch cartoons

(U)p.

Intro:

Is it ok to say I want ya?
'Cause I want ya bad.
(I want ya too, baby. I want ya too, baby.
I want ya, want ya.) (2x)

Verse:

You say you wanna be with me
So tell me what's it gonna be
Make up your mind, we don't have much time
I've got enough love to keep us steady
So lets go for a ride 
(but where are we gonna go?)
I wanna go to southern California
I think it's time to leave northern Georgia
To be free and happy
Just you and me

Chorus:

Run away with me, be my runaway
Come along with me, we'll see brighter days
We don't have to live by what they say
We can start anew
Just me and you

Verse 2:

Pack up we don't have much time
Don't think too much, we'll be fine
Know we'll be free and we won't have to hide
I've got a ticket and two crystals in my pocket keeping the hope alive
I wanna go to southern California
I think it's time to leave northern Georgia
Step out of your fears and don't let love wait for me
(Just run away with me)

(Chorus 2x)

Vamp:

From the time I met you I've always known
All the places that we would go
With you I'll be so I will always know my home
Let's find ourself a path and run away (GO)

1-2-3-HEY

Outro:

Run away with me-me-me
You can be my runaway
(And we can sing our Lovers Chant)
We don't have to live by what they say (no no)
So let's get away
We can run away, we can run away, we can run away yeah
We can run away, we can run away, we can run away 
(This place is not good for us)
We can run away, we can run away, we can run away yeah
We can run away, we can run away, we can run away 
(They don't understand our love)
We can run away, we can run away, we can run away
(Maybe we should just)
We can run away, we can run away
(Let's)
Runaway (runaway)

lovers chant.

Intro:

Sun's out
It's bright out
No more winter time
I'm thawed out
You've turned me out
I'm thawed out
(Now that the sun is out, no more rain)
You've turned me out (Oh woah)
Yeah

Verse:

You are my very first sunshine after the storm
You are my very first sunshine after the rain is gone
You are the very first ray to touch my face
(Baby, lately lately, stormy weather has gotten to me. 
Warm me up, your love's refreshing, truly. 
Your energy gives me just what I need.)
and I'm soaking up your love in all it's splendor
'Cause I've never known better.
Don't mind me I'm just enjoying the weather
'Cause you are

Chorus:

You are my very first sunshine after the storm
You are my very first sunshine after the storm
(Mm, after the rain is gone)

Rap:

And to think that I was losing my grip
The climate changes as I open my fist
Love is in the air, that's what they said but this air is too thick
That I'd never wanna get caught in this mist
The concrete was so wet after it rained
If I jumped I'll slip
Hit the ground and bust open my lip
But you know what they say
If you don't jump then shit you can't fly
But you're so beautiful you light up my sky
'Cause girl you light me on fire
You're the one I truly desire
Grey clouds turn to 4th of July
You are my very first (sunshine)
The rays hit the base of my skin
And happiness was manifested within
And I ain't felt this in years
I think the funny thing is that we was better as friends
I mean but that's what we said
We tried taking that in
But in the back of my head
I see us both holding hands until we kicking that can
I know you high in demand
but you're so high in the sky that I probably look like an ant
I probably look like a speck
You're always doing your best
When you're just being yourself
Or when you're bearing your flesh
And the only thing is that (I don't, I don't, I don't)
I don't know how this all-all gone work out
I don't know how to shine bright and not burn out
I don't know how but (yeah yeah) I'm down for figuring it out because

Chorus:

You are my very first sunshine after the storm (Yo, yo)
You are my very first sunshine after the storm
(After the storm when the rain is gone)

Vamp:

Sunshine creeping through my window
I wanna hold ya, I wanna know ya
You make me believe that it will be ok
It will be ok (2x)

You're my very first
My ve-e-ry first
Ve-e-ry first
My ve-e-e-e-ry first, yeah.
You're my very first
My ve-e-ry first
Ve-e-ry first
My ve-e-e-e-ry first, first. (2x)

Chorus:

You are my very first sunshine after the storm
You are my very first sunshine after the storm

(And I'm basking in the sun)
I'm basking, I'm basking
(And I'm basking in the sun)
(Mm da da dow da da dah) 
In the sun.

LYRICS:

So you're a special someone, the sweetest something that I know
but don't get too excited, there's something I need to talk to you about
There's some confusion, you've gone delusional, you're coming off strong
Don't mean to hurt your pride, but I don't wanna lead you on

Said it's not that I don't like ya at all
You're just not the kind of lover I want
You belong in the friendzone
You belong in the friendzone

So sweet to hear you're fallin' but I can't say the same for me
So showerin' me with sweet nothings isn't a necessity
Don't ever want you to treat me like the girl of your dreams
Some things are better left as they are and I think you should just let it be

Said it's not that I don't like ya at all
You're just not the kind of lover I want
You belong in the friendzone
You belong in the friendzone
(Friendzone, friendzone)

I've been showing the signs, shuga
Read them as you go, and you would already know
You're making this harder than it has to b, shuga
Just stop rollin' your dice, 'cause we've already had this conversation more than twice
Said it's not that I don't like ya at all
You're just not the kind of lover I want
You belong in the friendzone
You belong in the friendzone

I said it's not that I don't like ya at all
You just happen not to be the type of lover I want
Yay-ee-ee-yay-eh
Friendzone
You belong in the friendzone

Going Direct

Friendzone

LYRICS:

I just can't
I just can't give you up
No, no, no
I just can't
I just can't give you up
Give you up
Give you up, yeah

I am Andromeda and you are the milky way 
I'm not sure how, but we will collide someday
I belong to you and you belong to me
So let's just make it plain

I just can't
I just can't give you up
But it's time to give up the ghost
I just can't
I just can't give you up
Give you up
Give you up, yeah

I belong to you, you belong to me
No matter what we do, we know these ties will always be
I belong to you, and you belong to me
These ties will always be

Our souls are connected like the stars in constellations
There's no second guessing, no hesitation

About An Angel

LYRICS:

Flying away with you
Into the wild blue
Glory, hallelu
Each chance feels like shedding this lifetime and starting anew
Nothing but space around
And my feet won't touch the ground
Gravity cannot hold me now
I am of another dimension
But I have a sense of direction
Separated from the things I know
I don't fear, I just let my spirit fly and flow

Let's flow

Flying away with you
Watching the heavens turn from indigo hues
To black and then we're back again
When the morning comes
No one can wake me up
Until the journey is done
I can't shake this feeling
It's just the beginning of, beginning of

Let's flow
Let's flow

LYRICS:

If you ever need me
You know you can call
I'll be there in a hurry
'Cause I've got that unconditional love
Though it might be unconventional
You know it's unconditional

They say it's way too soon to fall
But I don't get the concept of time at all
I know I barely know ya
But call me crazy I'd do anything for ya
You say I'm moving too fast and it's not gonna last
But when you're with me you ain't gotta stress it
Just give me your heart and undress it

If you ever need me
You know you can call
I'll be there in a hurry
'Cause I've got that unconditional love
Though it might be unconventional
You know it's unconditional

I know it sounds real typical
Kinda like every other love song
But it's coming from the heart
And I don't know where to start 'cause I've never felt like this before
Just know the feeling is right and relax your mind
'Cause when you're with me you ain't gotta stress it
Just give me your heart and undress it

If you ever need me
You know you can call
I'll be there in a hurry
'Cause I've got that unconditional love
Though it might be unconventional
You know it's unconditional

LYRICS:

Why do you call me 
when the planets have begun 
and you know my word is bond
You come back every month or so
And every time the word is "no"

(Can't count the many times I've said)
No no, no no no no
No no no, no no no no no
No no no, no no no
No no no, no, no, no
No no, no no no no
No no no, no no no no no
I say no

I say
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
The answer is always no
No

'Cause I've never known better

You are my very first sunshine after the storm
You are my very first sunshine after the storm

And they say maybe I should walk away
Don't care what they say
I've waited so long to see the day
You know I've never seen a light so bright
That's why I'm so amazed
I just wanna sit here and admire you
Even if it ruins my gaze

You are my very first sunshine after the storm
You are my very first sunshine after the storm

Sunshine creepin' through my window
I wanna hold ya
I wanna know ya
You make me believe
It will be okay
It will be okay
SUnshine creepin' through my window
I wanna hold ya
I wanna know ya
You make me believe
It will be okay

You are my very first sunshine after the storm

VERSE:
Can I be petty (petty)
Let me be petty
She ain't me
What’s gotten into me
Is it my ego
All I’m sayin’ is
I feel the energy
This ain’t a real thing
She’s just a replacement
You say new year and a new thing
It seems like a facade to me
You say that to make yourself feel complete

CHORUS:
Enjoy painting with your temporary colors
That very soon will fade
It won’t equate 
Cuz you’ve erased what we so sacredly created
Can’t replace it
(P-petty, petty)

VERSE:
Can I be petty
Oh I'm so petty
Are you desperate
Am I just crazy
(Am I losing my mind)
And seeing my own things
Or is it really this clear
You settle cuz I’m not near
(You're settling)
Cuz you hate to be lonely
Don’t wanna let your heart breathe
Downgrade cuz you cant match me
Try but you’ll never find someone like me
Sailing along in your shallow sea
(Petty, petty)

CHORUS:
Enjoy painting with your temporary colors
(Yeah, yeah, because it's temporary)
That very soon will fade
It won’t equate 
(And it won't equate)
Cuz you’ve erased what we so sacredly created
(Everything that we've created is dust, dust)
Can’t replace it

Enjoy painting with your temporary colors
(You know that it's temporary)
That very soon will fade
(Yeah, and it won't, no it won't)
It won’t equate 
(No it could never equate)
Cuz you’ve erased what we so sacredly created
(Y-y-y-you should know by now) 
Can’t replace it

LYRICS

VERSE 1:
Last year I was down always looking around
At the things I was seeing 
Wondering “why not me?”
Spent way too much time, too much energy
Focused on people who don’t know I’m breathing
Overthinking little shit all in my head
constantly the death of me, like overkill
A little  too numb to feel 
Wasting my younger days 

Lately I been feeling like a change must come
Moving onto brighter from those darker days
Use em as a lesson all the hurt and pain
And do what I can to never live it again
On the 23rd I’m turning 23
Gotta take advantage of this high energy 
Manifesting all of my dreams
Watch them come along (20)

CHORUS:
One year older
A couple heart aches stronger
23 might be my lucky number 
So imma leave it all in the past
(2x)

VERSE 2:
Last year I felt stuck in all my crazy ways
Felt as though my sanity was taken away
Riding wild emotions
Like merry go rounds 
Treated like a fraction 
breaking myself down 
Doubting my own greatness 
When I knew it was no good to me
(No it’s not no good)
Uh huh (uh huh)

Lately I’ve been loving all the change I see
Think that I’m becoming  who I wanna be
Got a little peace of mind 
I’m healing scars
Still got some work to do
This heart’s my job
On the 23rd I’m turning 23
Imma take advantage of this high energy
And manifest what I want to see
Watch it as it comes  

CHORUS:
One year older
A couple heart aches stronger
23 might be my lucky number 
So imma leave it all in the past
(2x)

Lyrics:

Welcome to the real world
Life is in the making 
Eye are wide open
To unyielding chances
Standing in my way is
Mirroring reflections
Filled with distractions 
To ease my mind

Lately I've been feeling a serious low 
Thought I could just sit still and let it go 
Felling the bottom of a steep plateau
Guess it's time to take control

Cuz I'm so done
Waiting on the sideline
No need for permission
I'm reclaiming my time

Lessons in the real world
What you want, go take it
Things are steady moving
Forget about your patience
Life isn't waiting
For doubting and debating
Living in the silence 
Won't ease my mind

Lately I've been hearing a series of "no's"
This time I can't sit still and let it go 
Feeling the weight of a mountain load
Guess it's time to take control

Cuz I'm so done
Waiting on the sideline
No need for permission
I'm reclaiming my time

Cuz I'm so done
Waiting on the sideline
No need for permission
I'm reclaiming my time

(Reclaim your time)
Like

It's your life
It's your life
It's your life
It's your life

Lyrics:

Feeling homesick lately
I’ve been thinking maybe
I can book a one way flight 
Back to familiar faces
Comfortable spaces
Where I don’t even have to try
Living dreams imagined
Dying to be old fashioned 
And just leave it all behind
Think I’ve finally made up my mind
Decided for myself
Gotta leave cuz going home feels best
And I

Wanna go back to Georgia
(Take me back)
Wanna go back
Wanna go back to Georgia 
(Take me back)
Wanna go back
Cuz I can’t stand to stay here

Losing focus lately
Having thoughts of maybe
Giving up to call it quits
Packed all my shit this evening
My midnight train’s soon leaving
And I don’t think that I should  miss
Counting all conflictions
Uncompleted missions
Do I dare to try again
Seems I still can’t make up my mind
And I don’t wanna give up yet
But gotta leave cuz going home feels best

Wanna go back to Georgia
(Take me back)
Wanna go back
Wanna go back to Georgia 
(Take me back)
Wanna go back
Cuz I can’t stand to stay here

A runaway with no delight
There’s something missing
(There’s something missing
Where can I find it)
Far away from southern skies
That used to hold me 
To make a stormy mess of my dreams

Wanna go back to Georgia
(Take me back)
Oh yes I wanna go back
And I think I'll be leaving soon
Wanna go back to Georgia 
(Take me back)
Cuz I wanna go back
Wanna go back to…
That’s what I wanna do

Wanna go back to Georgia
(Take me back)
I’m leaving right now
Know it’s too soon 
But I don’t know what else to do
(I wanna go back, yeah)
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
Cuz I can’t stand to stay here
