Lyrics: 
Headstones and land mines
Flowers and red wines
They buy you nice things
And they sing pretty songs
But it doesn’t help

Oak trees and dirt piles
Funerals and mistrials
They say pretty words
And they hug from six feet
But it doesn’t help

And nothing works but time
And it all hurts, but it’s fine

Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm

Chaos and carpet
A study in scarlet
The room doesn’t talk 
And the furniture nods as I pass

Heights marked in pencil
Kitchen utensils
The books don’t say sorry
They don’t crowd and touch
They’re just observers collecting their dust
They know that nothing they say is enough
So they don’t say a thing

Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm

Give Me A Minute

Lyrics: 
I’m a little scared you’ll leave
Even though you tell me you won’t
I’m a little scared of being
Someone that you’re scared to love
But you don’t talk the way he did
And you don’t say the things he did
And I’m not who I was back then
But still

I’m a little scared to speak
Cause I can’t find the words to say
That I don’t wanna make this about me
I just can’t hold it in today
But you don’t play the games he did
And you don’t make me feel like shit
And my mom likes you more than him
But still

How do I tell you 
That I’ve come to like the pain?
How do I tell you
That I don’t know what it means?
To be happy with somebody
Don’t know anything bout that
Who the hell can write a love song
Without making it too sad
That’s all I’ve been
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
I got it from him?

I’m a little prone to feel
A little overwhelmed with it all
Cause you are someone I want to know
And I hope you don’t let me fall
You make sure I get home safe
And you always know what to say
And I feel like I’ve found my place
But still

How do I tell you 
That I’ve come to like the pain?
How do I tell you
That I don’t know what it means?
To be happy with somebody
Don’t know anything bout that
Who the hell can write a love song
Without making it too sad
That’s all I’ve been
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
I got it from him?

How do I tell you
I got it from him?

How Do I Tell You

https://lizzymcalpine.com/

Lyrics:
Don’t wanna be forward
Don’t wanna cross a line
But if I were to crash in this plane tonight
I’d want you to know this

Don’t wanna say too much
Intrude on your space
But if I were to crash and I never made it home
I’d want you to know this

Oh and to tell you is too scary
So I’ll just say something else
And I wish that you could hear me
When I talk to myself
But this plane might not land safely
So what the hell do I have to lose?
If I just tell you

I wanna eat pancakes for dinner
I wanna get stuck in your head
I wanna watch a TV show together and when 
We’re under the weather we can watch it in bed
I wanna go out on the weekends
I wanna dress up just to get undressed
I think that I should probably tell you this
In case there is an accident
And I never see you again

So please save all your questions for the end
And maybe I’ll be brave enough by then

Don’t wanna say something wrong
Don’t wanna be weird
But if you’re still in love with her I think that I’ll leave it there
And I won’t ever tell you this

Oh cause to tell you is too scary
So I’ll just say something else
Like how was fall semester
And what was that song about?
I’ll try to hide the way I feel
But I’ll just wanna shout
What do I have to lose right now?

I wanna eat pancakes for dinner
I wanna get stuck in your head
I wanna watch a TV show together and when 
We’re under the weather we can watch it in bed
I wanna go out on the weekends
I wanna dress up just to get undressed
I think that I should probably tell you this
In case there is an accident
And I never see you again

So please save all your questions for the end
And maybe I’ll be brave enough by then
Or maybe I won’t ever say what’s in my head
No I won’t have to say anything
You’ll say it instead

Pancakes For Dinner

Lyrics:
If I had the chance
To see the northern lights
I would book the next flight
And I’d buy
A jacket

If I had the chance
To see snow fall for the first time
I would stop and rewind
To re-find
The magic

But if there was ever a chance to tell you
That I think about you every single day
I don’t know if I could
Take that chance
Or take your hand
And say

You are on my mind
When I miss the snow
You show up when
I hear that song or I
Finally start watching that TV show
I don’t know why every time
That I think of home
I can picture you standing in the cold
But I
I’m scared
Cause I don’t know
If you and I are in the same boat

If I had the chance
If you asked out of the blue
How I really truly feel about you
I don’t have a clue how that would go

But if I had the chance
Would I really tell you?
Would I bare my soul and maybe end up crying in the bathroom?
Or would I ask you to kiss me slow?

Cause you are on my mind
When I miss the snow
You show up when
I hear that song or I
Finally start watching that TV show
I don’t know why every time
That I think of home
I can picture you standing in the cold
But I
I’m scared
Cause I don’t know
If you and I are in the same boat

Same Boat

Lyrics: 
I saw your name on a street sign
In the middle of nowhere
And that has to mean something
I know your zodiac sign
Me and Leo’s get along great
And that has to mean something
But for some reason
You’re not here
And I refuse to believe
That means something

I felt the way that you hugged me
When I was broken inside
And that has to mean something
I felt the way that you kissed me
When we got too drunk that night
And that had to mean something
But for some reason
You’re not here
And I refuse to believe
That means something

Every time I think too much
It ends up crazy
But I don’t know how to not think about you
Every time I trust my gut
I think I’m crazy
Cause I don’t know how to put my trust in you
Do you think it means something
That I wrote another song about you

Means Something

Lyrics:
I’ll go softly
So you don’t hear a thing
I won’t waste my time
Saying things that I don’t mean

Cause we’re too young
And I don’t wanna fall just quite yet
It was you, love
But now I’m alone again

You, Love (Interlude)

Lyrics:
I knew that you loved me
When you walked me to class in the dark
I knew that you loved me
When you ran to the store for a card
You couldn’t find a pen so you asked someone sweetly
You wrote out a note and you ran back to meet me
And gave it to me on the bridge
I said I would never forget this
And I never did

I knew that you loved me
When you walked me back home one night
I knew that you loved me
When I saw that my shoe was untied
You bent down to tie it in the middle of the street
There was snow everywhere, it was turning to sleet
But I knew when you looked up at me
This was where I was meant to be

So why?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to go so soon?
And why?
Why did you leave me there?
Why did you leave me without you?

And why did I think I knew?

I knew that you loved me
But you told me we just weren’t right
And I knew that I loved you
When I couldn’t fall asleep that night
I miss hearing all of your favorite songs
And I wish I could tell you to turn it all off
One more time
And everyone laughs
And then it is quiet

Why?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to go so soon?
And why?
Why did you leave me there?
Why did you leave me without you?

And why did I think I knew?

I Knew

Lyrics:
—NOTHING—

I don’t wanna leave
So tell me why I’m going
I don’t wanna leave
But I’m gone
I don’t wanna leave
But I’m already running
And if you ask what’s wrong
“Nothing”

Oh I’m so sorry
I’m a fool
I’m so sorry
For what I’m about to do

Here’s your shirt I stole
Take back what you gave me to hold
I can wear my own coat when it’s cold
I don’t need yours
Cause I don’t think I can do this anymore

I’m not sorry
That I loved you til I couldn’t breathe
It was lovely
But I know that it’s not what I need
It was good
But it’s time for me to leave

—SAD N STUFF—
Something doesn’t feel right
Maybe it’s the time
Something doesn’t feel like it used to
And nothing really rhymes
Maybe it’s the changing of the seasons
Or maybe it’s a sign

Something doesn’t sit well
Maybe it’s the food
Something doesn’t fit, well I think I always knew
That it could be the way I don’t speak Spanish
Or it could be you

He feels good to come home to 
But not to stay
I’m afraid
That he feels good to hold on to
But it feels good to say
That I’d be okay
Without you, I’d feel the same

I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone
All at once
And I don’t know, I don’t know
How to get back what was
Is it something in the wind or the rain that makes me
Sad n stuff?
Or is it just you?

He feels good to come home to
But not to stay

Nothing/Sad N Stuff

Lyrics:
Does this make sense to you?
Cause it doesn’t make sense to me
Does this have weight for you?
Cause it doesn’t have weight for me

And I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I’ll call you anyway
Call collect, cause baby this is

An over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain’s all out of sorts
I can’t hide it
I’m staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn’t cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can’t hide it
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn’t working anymore

I needed space from you
But this doesn’t look like space to me
You hate the things I do
And sometimes you hate me

But I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I’ll call you anyway
Call collect, cause baby this is

An over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain’s all out of sorts
I can’t hide it
I’m staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn’t cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can’t hide it
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn’t working anymore

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
I’ll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I’ll break your heart through the phone, I

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
I’ll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I’ll break your heart through the phone, I

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
I’ll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I’ll break your heart through the phone

With an over the ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain’s all out of sorts
I’m staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn’t cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
An over the ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn’t working anymore

—ANDREW—

Let me count all the freckles
On your arms alone
Let me smooth out the wrinkles
In the nicest shirt you own

Oh to love you is sweet like a peach
I think your laugh is my cure
Oh to love you is summer in reach
Kiss me and tell me I’m yours

Andrew I’m falling
Without a warning
Until the morning
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Just kiss me slow
I love you, you know

Over-the-Ocean Call (Andrew)

Lyrics:
Give me a minute
Just one will do
I’ll say goodbye, to gossamer skies
The city will move out of frame
But it’s still you who remains

Give me a minute
Kiss me again
I’ll say goodbye, to cloudy blue skies
I’d trade all I got in my name
For you instead of this pain

Maybe it’s time to forget you
Maybe it’s time to throw dirt upon your name
Or place blame
But it’s no ones fault
No, it’s no ones fault
We’re just late

I’ll give you a minute
Let you have peace
I’ll say farewell, to what I can’t tell
I bet that you’ll do just the same
And maybe I’m what remains

I Knew
