Leanna Firestone

lyrics:
Haven't played the piano, in what feels like a year, haven't slept, haven't tried to, since you were last here
I don't know how you, knew how to, move on
Less than a month, and you found someone new, while I lie awake just dreaming of you, 
I don’t know how you, knew how to, move on

So I play at bars and hope you’ll wander in, and you’ll want me back but now and again I remind myself, things wouldn’t be the same, even if you did
Still, I play your favorites, even ones I don’t like, and I sing the sadness out into the mic, and I pretend I know how to rebegin, cause without you things wouldn't be the same, even if I did

Thought about quitting music, don't know how to go on, without writing your name into every song, and I don't know how you, knew how to, move on

So I play at bars and hope you’ll wander in, and you’ll want me back but now and again I remind myself, things wouldn’t be the same, even if you did
Still, I play your favorites, even ones I don’t like, and I sing the sadness out into the mic, and I pretend I know how to rebegin, cause without you things wouldn't be the same, even if I did
Even if I did
Even if I did

So I play at bars and hope you’ll wander in, and you’ll want me back but now and again I remind myself, things wouldn’t be the same, even if you did
Still, I play your favorites, even ones I don’t like, and I sing the heartache out into the mic, and I pretend I know how to rebegin, cause without you things wouldnt be the same,
without you things couldn't be the same
Without you, I'll never be the same
Even if I did

Even If I Did

cover of talking in code by margot and the nuclear so and so's 

lyrics:
I gotta go, and you're talking in code 
Saying I know where you've been and I know where you go
But I've been tired from the minute I woke
I stopped listening the moment you spoke
And said I'm long gone
Yeah, I'm long gone
And I'm sleeping alone 
In a house I don't own 
'Cause if you're touring your mind 
You'll get lost every time 
You'll sing me sad songs to keep me awake 
In that bedroom where we hid away 
Baby, I'm long gone
Yeah, I'm long gone
And your voice cracks like a piano
You keep moving
But where are you going? 
Baby, we're long gone 
Yeah, we're long gone

talking in code

i wrote this song because most all of my interactions with boys that i like/ i want to like me after sophomore year, have just been them liking me past a certain point in the day. like they like me only when they are in bed and bored and want to see me in a bra or something, but they don't like ME, ya know? or if they do like ME, they are really bad at balancing love and lust for me to where it just reads as the latter. and sometimes that makes me sad. 

lyrics: 
i am the type of girl boys only love at night
asked more about the color of my underwear than my eyes

"what are you wearing? i wanna see"
am i only beautiful after 10:15? 
when you're laid in your bed
and i am in mine

i guess i am just the type of girl boys only love at night

10:15 pm (Interlude)

I wrote this song because one time I couldn’t find the black polish at the nail salon, so whenever the lady asked me my color and I said “I couldn’t find the black, but that’s what I want,” she said “You look like the type to paint your nails black.” Which is an odd thing to say. And I still have no idea what that means. But it was enough for me to create a narrative for black vs. white polish girls. 

lyrics:
i am the type to have nails painted black
i am the type to listen rather than talk back
i am the type of girl who is good on the side
she is the type to have nails painted white
she is the type to keep talking to you all night
facetime till you fall asleep, she says “i love u, goodnight”
that’s more your type

i am the type who likes time apart
i am the type good at breaking my own heart 
i am the type of girl boys only love at night
she is the type that you take home to mom
beautiful girl next door, there all along
she is the type of girl you love in the light
that’s more your type

i am the type to have nails painted black
i am the type to assume you’ll attack
if i tear down my walls, and let you see what’s inside
she is the type to have nails painted white
she is the type that will make a great wife
she’ll be okay, she’ll be alright 
but if one day you find there’s something missing in your life
i’ll be your type

Your Type

I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend

you ever love someone so much that even though they won't be seen publicly with you- you can't find the strength to leave them?

Hey! My name is Leanna Firestone! It's kind of unbelievable that I'm writing a bio for myself right now; I don't really feel important enough to need one. But- in case I am to you, Here's some information about me: I'm freshly 20, I'm a recent college dropout, and I write and sing songs.   In 2020, the worst year of everyone's collective consciousness, I started making TikToks. At first, I was just talking about anime... but eventually I started singing, which is my passion, end game, and dream job. (I know, the lamest origin story ever.) But from these TikToks, I started to release music and things inevitably snowballed and people started to really care about me and my music. Because of this support, I was able to live my dream. My greatest musical achievements to date are: my song Strawberry Mentos reaching 5M streams, Least Favorite Only Child reaching 4M streams, my EP, "Y/N" peaking at #8 on the US singer-songwriter iTunes Charts, having a song of mine play while two people made out during an episode of Love Island UK, and getting 2nd place in my 8th grade talent show with my song "Stars".   Most notably though, I put out my debut EP "Y/N" (pronounced Your Name) and launched my first round of merchandise. And next on the horizon is a debut album, coming in 2022.
