Lyrics:

Vibes extended so I
Step into your atmosphere
Chests are puffing up with
Pomp and quiet forms of fear
Tonight's feeling like a
Night I will not soon forget
Roll your dice, we're throwing
Chips on romantic roulette

Crime is in your eyes
A good boy learning how to sin
Fight and flying both are
In me trying hard to win
Searching you for poison
Reasons for a sound retreat
Deeper in you I go
Pools of blue and warm receipt

There's a place we can go
We can rendezvous
Leave your suit of armor behind

Here, we'll be alright
We can be who we are
Starlight dance and move
Making love and making the time
Here, we'll be alright

Moonlight
Werewolfs by night
Though I never was good playing
Games with girls, I'm saying

Moonlight
Werewolfs by night
And I hope that you're not playing
Games with boys, I'm saying

Here, we'll be alright

Lyrics:

I wish you slept with my best friend last summer
I wish I snuck around with every girl that wasn't you

We trusted each of our souls
On a mountaintop that nobody knows
We talked things out
And made sweet love
That rumbled all the rivers, but now you make me shiver

Sinking ships, and burning buildings
The tangled web you wove, and all the dreams we drove
They all were in vain

Strawberry blonde and blue
Visions of you tell me this much is true
The truth’s my faith in your eyes
Are feeding me lies

I wish we argued 'bout dryer sheets and cooking for dinner
I wish I got fat and you lost ambition, but none of that happened, so here's my admission

Joven - FML (Feeding Me Lies)

All the warm feels. Echoed keys, funky bassline, mid-tempo RnB vocals, 91 BPM.

Lyrics:

This is how our loving goes

Strange tongues, foreign flavors
Golden beaches in the blue
I know you’ve thought about him
He’s like another me for you

He talks nice, smiles nice
Butterflies in your chest, I know
It feels good, real good
That’s OK

He talks nice, smiles nice
Butterflies in your chest, I know
This is how our loving goes
Hope jealousy doesn’t show, because...

I trust you

This is how our loving goes

Cocktails and tarot cards
Telling you to try something new
A touch, kiss, a hug from him
And you’re thinking about a different view

"Let’s get out of here"
You pause...

He talks nice, smiles nice
Butterflies in your chest, I know
It feels good, real good
That’s OK

He talks nice, smiles nice
Butterflies in your chest, I know
This is how our loving goes
Hope jealousy doesn’t show, because...

I trust you

This is how our loving goes

Joven - TRDR (Toreador)

I fear your heart is breaking
I’ve seen it all before
I’ve been out taming tigers
 
Bengal to Indochina
Love letters from afar
Are you still feeling tired?

All the green, green grass
Grew around us, the sun shone
Now from first to last
Now I'm leaving you at home
I became a rolling stone

Sumatra into Bali
Amur into Lahore
I’ve been out taming tigers
Once gone, you shut the door

Phone calls can’t send the message
Your face now says it all
You’ve been out taming tigers
We might be no more

No more, no more
I’ve been out taming tigers
No more, no more
You’ve been out taming tigers

Yes, I got your message
But I don’t know what to do
Love’s getting lonely and
Forever past due

While you’re out alone 
I’m growing bigger brighter on my own
When you’re out of touch
I miss the kisses and to feel the rush

All the green, green grass
Grew around us, the sun shone
Now from first to last
Now I'm leaving you at home
I became a rolling stone

Sumatra into Bali (I've been hunting baby)
Amur into Lahore (Tell me if you're alright)
I’ve been out taming tigers (You’ve been hunting lately)
Once gone, you shut the door (I’ve been up all night)

Phone calls can’t send the message (I've been hunting baby)
Your face now says it all (Tell me if you're alright)
You’ve been out taming tigers (You’ve been hunting lately)
We might be no more (I’ve been up all night)

One day, one day
We’ll be where we are, on our own shooting star
That day, it came with (One day, one day)
With lightning and rain

I fear your heart is breaking
I’ve seen it all before
I’ve been out taming tigers

I fear I’m none the wiser
On my knees at your door
Are you still feeling tired?

I call it a "lyric remix"...kept some original lines and rewrote some other parts to suit the more dance-oriented, syncopated beats.

Original track is "Cave Me In" by Gallant, Tablo, & Eric Nam, produced by lophiile.

Cave Me In (Lyric Remix)

these flies on my window are winners in a losing game
dip duck roll and hover they barely see a season change
while you and me live like

birds on a power line, hands slipping and our fingers fried
you’ve told me, Lord I’ve tried: “don't make more excuses babe"
entropy multiplies, clock's ticking and i'm mortified
cause in the back of my mind, in the back of my hemisphere:

baby i want you to cave me in so maybe i
won't have to, I’m way to shy to admit it
baby i want you to cave me in so maybe i
won't ask to, I don’t want us to forget it

Love has either got you on your heels or overdosed
We be either screaming at each other, taking off our clothes
If you asked for the world, yeah I copped that
Once I fitted in your world, all we do is snap back

Girl are we on track? Or are you just about mad?
You saw me as a crush, now I'm feeling like a fad
I'm feeling, watching, what's real and not
Into our eyes we're no longer lost when

We were younger then but now I'm getting older
If we're so in love, why we looking over both our shoulders
You're not see through, busy when I see you
Looking for a pause Blue’s Clues I need new news

Or I could refuse, thinking bout going down south
Looking for a new lease, ride a new route
You could drop off your fleece, start a new race
We could run tag-team or you can North Face

Gravity makes wonders, but it also doesn't seem to wait. 
Float like clouds on water, we're waves across an open plane.
Cause you and me live like

i want it i do
