Lyrics:

You really changed the game
When you shuffled through my door
Now I can’t say the same
For the others players on the floor

I think we’ve both been dealt
A couple lousy hands
But this time lady luck
Think she’s got some other plans

So maybe you’re my wild card
You’re playing me just right
Baby, you’re my wild card
All your colors outta sight
Baby, you’re my wild card
There’s something up your sleeve alright

Would it be a win
If we go all in
And play our wild cards tonight

This time it’s dealer’s choice
Raisin’ stakes up to the sky
If we don’t pony up now
Just fold or let it ride

We’ve got the hot hands now
And we just can’t cool ourselves
Our cheeks reveal a royal flush
From kiss and tells

Baby, you’re my wild card
Chips are down but you’re upright
Baby, you’re my wild card
I’m just about to bust inside
Baby, you’re my wild card
I’ll double down with you all right

We could win the pot
If we take our shot
And play our wild cards tonight

We’ve got no limits
Our odds are slim
But just stay in it
You and I were suited to win

Cause maybe you’re my wild card
I think it's time to roll the dice
Baby you’re my wild card
You’re calling all my bluffs all right
Baby you’re my wild card
Ya sure can hold ‘em pretty tight
Baby you’re my wild card

And I would bet the farm
To hold you in my arms

I'm all in

Lyrics:

I wish you’d share your crown
Cause your little white knight Mr. Right might never be found,
Is my armor too short?
Am I a jester pleasing the court?
I guess Chivalry’s dead
In this town

I want a family crest
But you’re somewhere way out there on your own epic quest
Would you ever drop your shield?
Are you scared thet dragons are real?
This sword's double-edged
At best

Lower your drawbridge
This caped crusader’s marching to your door
Lower your drawbridge
I’ll help you hold down the fort
I’ll help you hold down the fort

Never let down your hair
You don’t need any help from the towers way up there
Did you find holy grail?
Or was it just a fairy tale?
Guess we built all our castles
In the air

Lower your drawbridge
Cause I can’t take you down by using force, of course
Lower your drawbridge
I’ll help you hold down the fort
I’ll help you hold down the fort

(Instrumental Break)

Lower your drawbridge
It’s only little me and trusty horse
Lower your drawbridge
I’ll help you hold down the fort
I’ll help you hold down the fort

Lyrics:

I’d been stuck on mute  
In all those other meeting rooms  
But when I first saw your face  
We had a touch-base on the moon  

We don’t have to phone it in,  
When our one-on-one begins,  
Are you ready to dig in  
Double-click on you and me 
To find out if there’ll ever be that  

Synergy  
Let’s book a time we’re both online for  
Synergy  
We’ll circle back to just unpack our  
Synergy  

Optimize with our eyes  
The notes will be transcribed  
Feel the shift in paradigms  
Don’t forget to cc me
To find out if there’ll ever be that 

Synergy  
We’ll work from home when we’re all alone on our
Synergy  
Let’s take a poll, you know your role for  
Synergy  

We’ve had a job to do  
That long needs filling  
Before you, I never ever knew how to
Make a life not just a living  

All our lives are one big list  
Of all the action items missed  
I wanna follow-up this kiss  
I got my goals for Quarter three,
To find out if there’ll ever be that  

Synergy  
Let’s check the cal if there’s a spot avail for 
Synergy
You’ll have your way with me by end of day  
That’s Synergy

Lyrics:

I'm still in recovery mode
I think my screen just froze
Nobody's cracked my code
System overload

You don’t have to be
A charging dock for me
Not sure what I need
But there’s someone you should meet

I’d like to introduce me,
I’m version 2.0.3
The old me was running slow
So will you save a space for me
On version 2.0.3
We’ll just update as we go

Resets, they're always hard
Connections fall apart
Forgot the password to my heart
How many times can I restart?

I’d like to introduce me,
I’m version 2.0.3
My power was at zero
So are you beta testing me
Version 2.0.3
The features will only grow

All the tangled up wires to fix
All the empty swipes and control-clicks
Can we just unplug from all this
Before we force quit?

I’d like to introduce me,
I’m Version 2.0.3
Will you wait for me to load?

Lyrics:

When you’re down  
You’re not out  
Getting up is all that counts  

There’s no script  
Got no lines  
Every moment’s improvised  

Give it sun  
Let it grow  
You’re a beanstalk, don’t you know?  

Let it bake  
Give it time  
To warm up your heart inside  

No matter how long it takes (let it bake)
Got so many layers  
There’s so much left to make  

Let it bake  
It’s gotta rise  
Before the party yells surprise  

Sprinkle love  
Add some spice  
For a sweeter slice of life  

They say that the good things come  
To those who wait  
I know the bad things go  
To those who pile up plates  

Nobody knows  
The recipe for fate
Might as well  
Let us all eat cake  

Let it float  
Let it glide  
On this magic carpet ride  

Steady hands  
Eagle eyes  
Aim your dreams up to the sky  

Take a breath  
Ease your mind  
Hold your horses on the ride  

Taste the joy  
Start from scratch  
You deserve a quadruple batch  

No matter how long it takes  
Got so many layers  
There’s so much left to bake  

Leave the pot  
Boil it down  
You’ll serve up the right amount  

Let it bake  
Add some spice  
For a sweeter slice of life

Lyrics:

I felt you drift away
There's plenty of fish left in the bay
Hook up, reel 'em in
The real catch is wherever you swim

I can’t fight the waves  
Of all my washed up kinda days  
We veered off course  
Two hearts swept offshore

The storms have made me waterproof 
But how long can we survive  
If I dive back into  

You and me  
It’s sink or swim, baby  
Don’t need no maps to see  
The treasure's deep in us  
And we hold the key
Make a splash with me
We hold the key

Getting in so deep  
Now the light can barely reach  
Are we gonna drown  
I think we'll ride it out

Trying hard to float  
We just keep rocking the boat  
It's been a windy ride
I still see north stars in your eyes

I’ll hold my breath
If you want me to  
Be my anchor, be my oar  
As we paddle back toward  

You and me  
It’s sink or swim, baby  
Don’t need no maps to see  
The treasure’s deep in us  
And we hold the key 
Aye, Aye, Matey
We hold the key

Lyrics:

You think we’re still in it
But you’ll never win if 
You’re not in the ring
Did you hear that ding-ding-ding?

Can we still go the distance?
We’re on a mission
Hold on one more round
Taking that pow, pow, pow

I’m ready to rumble with you 
Will you be in my corner too?
Are we down for the count
Or will we tough it out?

I’m ready to take it on the chin,
Cross jab one two
I don’t wanna throw the towel in at you
I know you’re a knockout
But you’re trying to box me out

Can we leave our gloves at the door?
Cause I don’t wanna spar 
With you no more

All of these fight nights
Just end on the floor
Is this match worth fighting for?

I wanna unblock us
We put ‘em up
Just to knock ‘em all down
Let’s turn it around, around

Gotta roll with the punches
No one can touch us
When we’re craving body slams
Gimme that bam bam bam

Ready to rumble with you
Will you be in my corner too
Are we down for the count
or will we tough it out?

Take it on the chin,
Left hook one two
I don’t wanna throw the towel in at you
You may be a knockout
But you’re trying to box me out

Can we leave our gloves at the door?
Cause I don’t wanna spar 
With you no more

All of these fight nights
Just end on the floor
Is this match worth fighting for?

Heavy hitter coming up,
Only quitters give it up,
I wanna go below the belt
All the feels we’ve never felt

I can see a champion in you
Go down swinging, cross one two 
Are you my final bout?
Is this lights out?

Can we leave our gloves at the door?
Cause I don’t wanna spar 
With you no more

All of these fight nights
Just end on the floor
Is this match worth fighting for?

Lyrics:

I never thought 	
I’d show my colors		
I hid my blues		
Behind the others		
Painted myself 	
Into each corner		
Till I mixed with you 
		
We don’t need words		
We’ve got big picture		
Our style is new	

When I sit with you 
Everything is still life		
When I sit for you 	
Our canvas is still blank tonight
	
We’re a masterpiece in the making			
Will you be my muse?
We’ll take our time on the shading
Frame it as we choose		
I can see our design			
Color outside the lines

I know just what we’re making		
Let’s take our time on the shading
Frame it up in our minds
Color outside

I didn’t think
I’d find the model
Worth drawing closer to
Can we develop
The life we pictured
In Landscape view?

When I sit with you 
Everything is still life		
When I sit for you 	
Our canvas is still blank tonight
(Paint by numbers just takes two)

We’re a masterpiece in the making			
Will you be my muse?
We’ll take our time on the shading
Frame it as we choose		
I can see our design			
Color outside the lines

I know just what we’re making		
Let’s take our Bob Ross time on the shading
Frame it up in our minds
Color outside
The lines

Lyrics:

I never found the right time
To say three words to you
With little strength the thumbs have left
Type out “I’m sorry, too”

Bubble looking blue, 
Somebody’s typing
That’s someone new
I’m undefining 
Unsend, undo
My buddy’s typing
Begging me to
Quit reigniting 

Three little dots,
They help me power through,
Three little dots
But none of them from you
From you
No message in the queue

I can’t replace the facetime
The sparkle in your eyes
The only one who’s staring back now
The selfie that no one buys

Bubble feels blue, 
Somebody’s typing
That’s someone new
I’m undermining 

Unsend, undo
My family’s typing
Begging me to
Quit sleepless-nighting

I thought I could let us go
You got underneath my skull
Replays on loop so slow 

I hope I can quicky grow
But the time upon my wrist 
Says nobody ever knows

Bubble’s still blue,
Somebody’s typing
That’s someone new
I’m kiss-goodnight-ing

If I check on you
My body’s typing
Can we take two?
All done gaslighting 

Three little dots,
They help me power through,
Those three little dots
But none of them are from you

Can’t erase the thought
Of missing my shot
I can’t connect the dots with you

Lyrics:

When no one’s watching you
You don’t feel like you’re performing
When no one’s watching you
Your rocket ship starts soaring  

If the favorite in your heart 
Doesn’t default at the start with you
Then the world can’t follow suit

Don’t need a trillion views
Subscribe to your own truth
Toss yourself a like
And a five-star review

Stop waiting to renew
Just click the life you choose
True unfiltered view
And double tap into you
Double tap into you

When no one’s watching you
You catch the perfect wavelengths 
When no one’s watching you
The moment’s free for saving  

If the favorite in your heart 
Doesn’t default at the start with you
Then the world can’t follow suit

Don’t need a trillion views
Subscribe to your own truth
Toss yourself a like
And a five-star review

Stop waiting to renew
Just click the life you choose
True unfiltered view
And double tap into you
Double tap into you
