Segue on the Beach - ML Ruubz

'Favourite'
ML Ruubz
From my upcoming sophomore album, 'Chasing Summer'

:)

----- Lyrics -----

Did you know that you’re my favourite?
Did you know that you’re the best?
Did you know that we would make it
Through the trials and tests?
Did you know that you’re the
Only one I want,
And if our love does ever wane,
I’d do my best to win you
Over and over again?

Did you know that you are gorgeous?
Did you know I love your smile?
Did you know that I’ve I adored ya
Even through our tough trials?
Did you know that when we
Held each other close that night
We thought it was the end,
We'd hold so tightly that we’d never
Break apart again?
Yeah...

Yeah,
Yeah,
Yeah,
Did you know that you are my favourite?

Yeah,
Yeah,
Yeah,
Did you know that you are my favourite?
Did you know that you are my favourite?

Did you know that you are my —?

Did you know that you’re my favourite?
Did you know that you're the best?
Did you know that we should savour it?
The precious time we have left.
Did you know that though I
Know we’ve had our ups, downs, and
Miscommunicating,
You still make my soul feel whole and make
My heart wanna sing?

Yeah...
Yeah,
Yeah...

Did you know that you,
That you are,
You are my favourite?
Favourite!

'Good Times'
ML Ruubz
From my upcoming sophomore album, 'Chasing Summer'

:)

----- Lyrics -----

What cuts a classic from the clichéd?
And where's the turning point from popular to overplayed?
Imagine a world that doesn't harbour hate —
Or would that be the toughest crowd to entertain.
What cuts the fuckery from fun?
And where's the turning point from give-your-all to overdone?
Remember all the times you wanted to give up?
Now, look how far we have come.

Yeah, baby,
Look how far we've come.
Look how much we've grown.
Look how far
From the start we are,
And look at all the good times
We've got to go.

I used to overthink.
I used to overthink. I used to overthink —
Overthink everything, anything, nothing —
Overthink things.
You used to jump to dumb conclusions.
But now I know that you're the only one:
The only world in which I belong.
You're righting errs you never realised were wrong,
And I'm re-writing verses to fit your songs.

Yeah,
Look how far we've come.
Look how much we've grown.
Look how far
From the start we are,
And look at all the good times
We've got to go.

Good Times

'Wait 'Til'
ML Ruubz
From my upcoming sophomore album, 'Chasing Summer'

:)

----- Lyrics -----

Can I blame you?
Can I begrudge you?
For being everything I could ever want,
But not wanting me.
Oh, how lonely
It is to love you.
Why’d you have to lead me on
If your heart wants to leave?

Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see me
Walking on through.
Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see it’s
Better than you.

Am I too much,
And are you enough?
The swan sings
As our pages fall to dust...
And now, you’re saying, “Sorry.”
Saying you weren’t thinking straight. But
Gone are the days you showed you loved me,
But still, I wait;
Wait ’til you see, boy,
Wait ’til you see, boy...

Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see me
Walking on through.
Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see it’s
Better than you.

Wait...
’Til,
Boy, wait...
Wait...
’Til,
Boy, wait...
Better than you.

Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see me
Walking on through.
Wait ’til you see what I deserve, boy.
Wait ’til you see it’s
Better than you.

----- Lyrics -----

It was a good day.
A really good day.
Erring, perhaps,
On the side of 'too good to be true'...
It was a good day,
A really good day, yeah.
Perfectly normal,
Perfectly fucking good.

Then I saw you again.
Oh yes, I saw you again.
One step in, and
There you are with that sunny grin.
That s-s-signature grin.

Aren’t they sneaky?
So very sneaky.
Moments like that,
So damn serendipitous.
Did you not see me
Falling so sweetly?
Hoping, perhaps,
For another chance at us...

And then I saw you again.
Oh yes, I saw you again.
One step in, and
There you are with that sunny grin.
That s-s-signature grin.

Yes, that
Stupid, sunny,
Silly, sorry,
Super stunning —
Shit, he saw me! —
Serious,
Mysterious,
Self-possessedly
Oh-so-sexy,
Same old s-s-signature grin, yeah.
That s-s-signature grin.

Just Friends (Sunny) (Musiq Soulchild Cover) - ML Ruubz

I really wanted to try this 2 pianos thing, which I feel is much closer to my personal style of making music than just a single piano-vocal cover. Also because I can pan each keyboard to either side, which makes me a happy mixer. So here it is! Hope you guys enjoy it :)

----- Lyrics -----

There’s a place and time
In your world and mine,
Where our paths collide
And our lives intertwine.

By the beach of my dreams,
Playing under the moonbeams.
You are the sand and I’m the sea;
Gently, I pull you into me.

----- Lyrics -----

How I wish
I could tell you all the right things to make you feel alright.
And I wish
I could be all the best things to bring you back to life.

Talk to me, boy.
Tell me what’s on your mind.
How am I supposed to know what to do about you
If you never let me inside?
Yeah.

Can the heart not open up, without first being cut?
And can you love so much, without running out of luck?
(Without getting fucked?)

Goodnight, distant lover, XO.
“Why distant?” you ask.
Well, we’re not exactly close.

’Cause we don’t tell each other shit
’Cause we don’t see the use
In a guilt-tripping hullabaloo.

And we don’t tell each other shit
’Cause it’s not worth it,
But if only we knew.

’Cause out of what you feel and what you say,
Which will affect how her heart sways?
And out of what you say and what you do,
Honey, which is telling the truth?

(Goodnight, distant lover, XO.
“Why distant?” you ask.
Well, we’re not exactly close.

Goodnight, distant lover, XO.
You keep my bed warm
And my heart in the cold.
Yeah.)

Little do you know that you’re now a part
Of the melodies in my heart.
Little do you know...

----- Lyrics -----

Boy, I think I’ve got a crush on you.
Something ’bout your music, maybe, something ’bout your groove.
Oh, boy, I’m not quite sure what you do
That’s got me got a crush on you.

So, you wanna go for coffee.
My study break is next week; cutie, are you free?
And so, you wanna get to know me?
Let’s catch up over coffee.

You’ve got a good job.
You’ve got a pretty face.
You’ve got a million friends
But can you make my heart race?

You’ve got your hot voice
Coupled with your Rhodes groove.
You’ve got your fancy hands
And boy, I’ve got a crush on you.

Oh, now why you tryna hold my hand.
Paying exy dinners like a fucking gentleman,
And oh, your cologne’s an aphrodisiac.
Now why you tryna hold my hand?

Hey, I see what moves you’re tryna pull –
Those sneaky little kisses, dropping ‘babe’ and ‘doll’.
But wait – I can’t afford to fall
For all these moves you’re tryna pull.

You’ve got your sweet talk.
You’ve got your tender touch.
You’ve got your checklist
But do you know how to love?

You’ve got your heart set
On hunting down ‘The One’ soon.
You’ve got me wondering
Why, boy, I’ve got a crush on you.

Boy, I think I’ve got a crush on you.
But honey, to be honest, I just wanna play it cool;
Enjoy my freedom and my own groove.
It’s just a little crush on you.
It’s just a little crush on you.
It’s just a little crush...

:)

----- Lyrics -----

Hey, insomnia, can’t you leave me be?
I only had two coffees today, and now I need to get to sleep.
Midnight was five hours ago,
And now dawn’s knocking on my window,
Oh, hey, insomnia, won’t you give me some peace?

Hey, insomnia, can’t you leave my head?
You know I’ve got a long day tomorrow; hence, tonight, I hastened to my bed. Midnight was five hours ago,
And now dawn’s knocking on my window,
Oh, hey, insomnia, give me sweet dreams instead.

Insomnia, insomnia.
Can’t get away from ya, from ya.
(Goodnight, distant lover, oh)
(Maybe it’s just in my head, maybe it’s just in my head.)
(Just give me sweet dreams instead.)

----- Lyrics -----

It’s dark.
We’re all alone,
Under the stars,
In a secret paradise.

I confess,
My heart rose
When I heard you caress
Those smooth black and whites.

Won’t you grab my hand?
Oh, oh no!
Honey, go on ahead,
And play me like a sweet piano.

Be it minute by minute,
Or week by week,
Baby, I’m not complete
Without you filling the spaces between me.

Don’t touch,
’Cause we’re hot as hell
And we’ve way too much
Mind-blowing chemistry.

Listen, love, listen,
As the two of us melt.
Be my new rhythm;
I’ll be your sweet melody.

And don’t you trust
What we felt
The night that we lost
Each other?

It’s dark.
We’re all alone,
In your car,
Foggin’ up the windows.

Be it minute by minute,
Or week by week,
Baby, baby,
Won’t you fill in the spaces between me?

----- Lyrics -----

“Maybe it’s just in your head,” he said.
“Maybe it’s just in your head.”
“Maybe it’s just in your head,” he said.
“Maybe it’s just in your head.”

I know what I’m feeling is chemical/physical;
A malfunction deep in my brain.
How dare you suggest I just feigned it all?
The panic, the prison, the pain.

I’d give up the world just to be with you,
And I’d fight through the madness and cold.
I truly believe that we’ll make it to
A destiny fit for us both.

“But maybe it’s just in your head,” he said.
“Maybe it’s just in your head.”
“Maybe it’s just in your head,” he said.
“Maybe it’s just in your head.”

From my debut album, 'Segue on the Beach'

:)

----- Lyrics -----

It’s been a while since I put pen to paper.
Scared I’ll never get it back if I push it any later.
Scared my heart’ll fall for a dream I’ll never live.
Scared I was shit to begin with.

It’s been a while since I lost it all,
But still the pain of that day sometimes haunts my soul.
Trapped in the ennui of fearing losing you again.
Convinced my heart was better dead.

Will it ever fade?
Will it ever fade?
Will it ever fade?

It’s been a while since innocent bliss.
Yeah, it’s been a while since I felt like this.
Could I bargain for another take or two of youth,
Or is that insult to the truth?

It’s been a while since I strode through that door.
The price of freedom was fear; of strength, heart-sores;
Of wisdom, insanity; of compassion, pain. But

/Why/ won’t it close up?
Why /won’t/ it close up?
Why won’t /it/ close up?
Why won’t it /close up/?
Why won’t it /close up/?
Why won’t it /close up/?

:)

----- Lyrics -----

And again, I made the same mistakes again.
Yet again, I made the same mistakes again.
Yes, I’d better start to learn from the things through which I’ve been
Lest again, you suck me in.

“What else?” you ask me, tongue-poked and shifty.
Well, baby, well, what else is there?
You can say all you wanna say, but nothing has changed
And baby, well, do you even care?

You sought the deepest part of me,
But found only luxuria.
And oh, the irony
Of what I want of you to want from me: to want for you to want us.
(Unconditional, total and selfless...)

Is it dusk yet, or still dawn?
And why is acedia that wrong?
Oh baby am I a playwright or just a pawn?
And why must I take a knife for you and your porn?
Now how much of this carnage is my own sin
And of how much am I merely a victim?

I don't know, I don't know what I need,
All that I know is that I want it so badly.
I don’t know, I don’t know what I need,
All that I know is that I want you so badly
