A song about figuring out this mess called life.
--
I’m a mess I confess
And I’ve always been so stuck in my head 
Maybe I just need some medicine to help me get out of it
Before it all gets crazy again, oh
I’m a wreck and a mess 
Lately, I just wanna lay in my bed
I don’t wanna be a pessimist
I just wanna get out of this 
I wanna live my life to the end, oh 

Stressed out, said I’m stressed out
Feelings in my head, said I’m in doubt
Where to go now, where to, where to go now
Just tryna figure out where do I go now
Everybody’s telling me where I should be
But I’m just tryna figure out what’s right for me 
And I’m tryna manage my anxiety
I just wanna be where I wanna be

And maybe by tonight things will be alright
Oh I need another night just to free my mind
Way too many nights wasting too much time
So when the sun is high, I’ma live my life

I’m a mess I confess
And I’ve always been so stuck in my head 
Maybe I just need some medicine to help me get out of it
Before it all gets crazy again, oh
I’m a wreck and a mess 
Lately, I just wanna lay in my bed
I don’t wanna be a pessimist
I just wanna get out of this 
I wanna live my life to the end, oh 

And maybe I just need to take my time and enjoy the ride and learn to live this life
And maybe I need to stay preoccupied before I lose my mind

I’m a mess I confess
And I’ve always been so stuck in my head 
Maybe I just need some medicine to help me get out of it
Before it all gets crazy again, oh
I’m a wreck and a mess 
Lately, I just wanna lay in my bed
I don’t wanna be a pessimist
I just wanna get out of this 
I wanna live my life to the end, oh 
	
I’m a mess and I’ve always been stuck in my head
I don’t wanna be a pessimist
I just wanna get out of it

Mess

Out everywhere.
--
I’m lost and I’m lost and

I’ve been up for 3 whole nights
Tryna figure out how to ease my mind
Searching for an answer, whether wrong or right
Will I find it tonight, will I find it tonight?

And I’ve been searching every day and every night
Waiting for a moment and the right time
Tryna find the answers to my life
I swear that I’ll find it one night 

Cause I’m soul searching 
Soul searching
I’m lost and my demons lurking
Soul searching
Soul searching
I’m lost but I’m still working

Nothing feels right, I’m wasting too much time
Trying my best not to lose my sight 
I swear to God I think I need a pick me up
Anything to get me up
I'm tryna get outta this rut 

And I’m still searching every day and every night
Waiting for a moment and the right time
Tryna find the answers to my life
I know that I’ll find it one night 

Cause I’m soul searching 
Soul searching
I’m lost and my demons lurking
Soul searching
Soul searching
I’m lost but I’m still working

And maybe I'll find an answer tonight
Maybe I’ll, maybe I’ll find it in time 
Praying I’ll find an answer tonight 
To ease up my, ease up my, ease up my mind 

I swear that I’ll find an answer one night 
I swear that I’ll, swear that I’ll get my life right 
I know that I’ll find an answer one night 
I know that I’ll get it right

Cause I’m soul searching 
Soul searching
I’m lost and my demons lurking
Soul searching
Soul searching
I’m lost but I’m still working
 
I’m soul searching 
Soul searching
I’m lost and my demons lurking
Soul searching
Soul searching
I’m lost but I’m still working

Soul Searching

Out everywhere
--
I’ve been stuck in limbo
Think I need to clear up my mind 
Tryna live in slow-mo
Wanna put it all to the side
Way too many thoughts in my head
Way too many nights in my bed
I just wanna get out instead and forget  

Late night summer drive
We got one life
Let’s catch a vibe 
City lights
Mood right 
We got time 
Let’s runaway tonight 

Cause I don’t wanna think ‘bout my problems
Throw em all out
Yeah we could runaway now
And just let everything out
Cause I don’t wanna think bout my problems
Throw em all out
Yeah we could runaway now
And just let everything out

I’ve been tryna lay low 
I wanna just unwind
Don’t wanna take the high road 
Even though its what’s right
But I’m tryna get out of my head
And I'm tryna get away from this bed
Said I wanna runaway instead, hope I don’t regret

Late night summer drive
We got one life
Let’s catch a vibe 
City lights
Mood right 
We got time 
Let’s runaway tonight 

Cause I don’t wanna think ‘bout my problems
Throw em all out
Yeah we could runaway now
And just let everything out
Cause I don’t wanna think bout my problems
Throw em all out
Yeah we could runaway now
And just let everything out

Cause I don’t wanna think ‘bout my problems
Throw em all out
Yeah we could runaway now
And just let everything out

Runaway

A song for the hopeless romantics 
--
(1,2,3,4..)

You ask me what’s my sign
I say some corny line
That’s how it usually goes 
But uh
I try to make you mine
You give me different signs
Not sure how this will unfold

But I’d much rather keep things on the low
If its not really love ill just go

Cause I’m just looking for something real (yeah)
Not someone that makes me feel like a fool
If no emotions invested, I’m not interested unless there is something we feel
Cause I just want something that’s real

Ladadadadadada whoa ooh whoa ooh
Ladadadadadada whoa whoa

I say what’s on my mind
Not tryna waste no time
Just wanna see where this goes
But uh
You try to mess with my head
You leave me on read 
Alone in my bed
I don’t wanna be lead on 
I just wanna move on

If you want we can take things real slow
If its not really love let me go

Cause I’m just looking for something real (yeah)
Not someone that makes me feel like a fool
If no emotions invested, I’m not interested unless there is something we feel
Cause I just want something that’s real 
(1,2,3,4..)

And I hope you know that I don't want fake love
If I'm being real honest that just ain't enough 
I just want someone but not just anyone 
No I don't want no one
 
Ladadadadadada (no)

Cause I’m just looking for something real (yeah)
Not someone that makes me feel like a fool
If no emotions invested, I’m not interested unless there is something we feel
Cause I just want something that’s real

Ladadadadadada whoa ooh whoa ooh
Ladadadadadada whoa whoa
Ladadadadadada whoa ooh whoa ooh
Ladadadadadada whoa whoa

Real

A song about being tired of getting attached easily and getting hurt
--
I don’t wanna hurt no more
cause my heart is not a prison war
Won't give away my love for sure
until i find the one worth fighting for (for)


im so tired of wasting all my nights hurt
im so tired of putting someone else first
i always wear my heart on my sleeve
its time i put my love on a lease
cause ive been here a couple thousand times
and each time i always lose my mind
and i swear that i won't fall in love so fast

cause 
I don’t wanna hurt no more
cause my heart is not a prison war
Won't give away my love for sure
until i find the one worth fighting for (for)

im so tired of losing all my self worth
im not gonna wait for someone else,  it hurts 
damn i think i need a thick wall
and im not really sorry if im missing your call
And uh 
Cause I’ve been here too many thousand times
Voices telling me it won’t be fine
Yeah I know that I won’t give away love just like that

cause 
I don’t wanna hurt no more
cause my heart is not a prison war
Won't give away my love for sure
until i find the one worth fighting for (for)

Cause I’ve tried losing hope
but I won't lose my soul
cause im scared of letting go
so dont go ghost
wont you please stay close 
oh no, dont go

cause 
I don’t wanna hurt no more
cause my heart is not a prison war
Won't give away my love for sure
until i find the one worth fighting for


No I don’t wanna hurt no more (i aint gonna hurt no more)
cause my heart is not a prison war (that aint what the heart beats for)
Won't give away my love for sure (i aint tryna go to war)
until i find the one worth fighting for (for)

Hurt No More

A song to ease the mind. 

--
I’ve been spending these past nights 
Staying up late 
Lying wide awake (mmm)
And I’m trying to ease my mind 
So i fill my brain 
So I don’t go insane 

Oh I try and I try to keep myself from thinking too deep
Yeah I try and i try to remind myself don’t forget to breathe 

And so I keep myself preoccupied 
To wash away what I feel inside
Oh I keep myself preoccupied
To push all of these thoughts to the side
Oh oh

I’ve been spending my time alone
Netflix all day
Wasting time away
I’m not getting texts on my phone
So I watch the rain
Im trying to stay sane

Oh I try and I try to keep myself from thinking too deep
Yeah I try and i try to remind myself don’t forget to breathe 

And so I keep myself preoccupied 
To wash away what I feel inside
Oh I keep myself preoccupied
To push all of these thoughts to the side
Oh oh 

And so I keep myself preoccupied
To wash away what I feel inside

Preoccupied

A song to end the decade / begin the new decade with. 
--
Take me back to the days when I was so young 
I remember like yesterday when I wanted to grow up 
I keep wishing that I could go back to with my friends back then 
Cause at least back then I didn’t think about how everything has it’s end 

I don’t wanna grow old
I just wanna stay bold
So I’m gonna stay young in my head, yeah

Time’s ticking on and on 
Wish that I could make it stop 
And all i have to say is

I don’t wanna grow up
No I don’t wanna grow up 
I just wanna have fun 
Oh I just wanna have fun
  I don’t wanna grow up 
No I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna have fun
Oh I just wanna have fun

Throw it back to the days when life was no rush
 I remember it like yesterday when I didn’t really know much
I keep wishing that things were much simpler like way back when , yeah
Cause at least those times all I thought about was staying up past 10

I don’t wanna grow old
I just wanna stay bold
So I’m gonna stay young in my head, yeah

Time’s ticking on and on 
Wish that I could make it stop 
And all i have to say is 

I don’t wanna grow up
No I don’t wanna grow up 
I just wanna have fun 
Oh I just wanna have fun
Said I don’t wanna grow up 
No I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna have fun
Oh I just wanna have fun

Said I don’t wanna grow up
No I don’t wanna grow up 
I just wanna have fun 
Oh I just wanna have fun
Said I don’t wanna grow up  
No I don’t wanna grow up 
I just wanna stay young 
Oh I just wanna stay young, yeah

I Don't Wanna Grow Up

A song for the hopeless romantic in all of us.
--
I need somebody, someone to love
Just anybody would be enough
And I need someone to get me out of this rut
Oh I need somebody, someone to love 

Spending my nights in my bed, 
Swiping through people on my phone
Doing the best that I can,
Cause I don’t wanna be alone, 
No oh oh (mmm)	
Counting the days in my head,
Pushing myself right through the lows
Wish I could hold someone’s hand,
Cause I don’t wanna be at home,
No oh oh (mmm)

I need somebody, someone to love
Just anybody would be enough
And I need someone to get me out of this rut
Oh I need somebody, someone to love 

Having a talk with my friends,
Don’t wanna be all on my own 
I drown in my room in silence,
Since I got nowhere to go 
No oh oh (mmm)
Wanting this feeling to end,
Traveling down this lonely road 
Trying to be my own man,
Since it’s the only thing I know 
No oh oh (mmm)

I need somebody, someone to love
Just anybody would be enough
And I need someone to get me out of this rut
Oh I need somebody, someone to love


I need somebody, someone to love (Somebody, someone to love)
Just anybody would be enough ( I need somebody, I need someone to love)
And I need someone to get me out of this rut (I need somebody, someone to love)
Oh I need somebody, someone to love

Somebody, Someone

A song to spread hope and positivity through these rough times.
--
Heading off into the night
I’m wide awake and I don’t know why
I keep telling myself that I’ll be alright
It’ll take some time and that’s fine

Another day gone to waste
Think its only safe to say we’re all just tryna stay strong
Looking for any way to get through another day
What the hell’s going on?

Even though times are rough, we’ll get through it
Yeah we just keep it movin’ on
We may be in a rut, we can’t lose it
Gotta look for the light of dawn
Yeah we just push on, oh
Push on, oh
Push on, oh oh oh
Gotta just push on, oh
push on, oh
push on, oh oh oh

Doing what I can, so I drown out my mind
Trying my best, I’m preoccupied
I keep telling myself I’m not alone
And so I go down this road finding my way home

Another day gone to waste
Think its only safe to say we’re all just tryna stay strong
Looking for any way to get through another day
What the hell’s going on?

Even though times are rough, we’ll get through it
Yeah we just keep it movin’ on
We may be in a rut, we can’t lose it
Gotta look for the light of dawn
Yeah we just push on, oh
Push on, oh
Push on, oh oh oh
Gotta just push on, oh
push on, oh
push on, oh oh oh

Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep on pushing
Gotta keep it going, going, going
Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep on pushing
Gotta keep it going, going, going
Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep on pushing
Gotta keep it going, going, going
Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep on pushing
Gotta keep it going, going, going

Movin' On

A song about wishing you could do more.
--
Lying in your bed at night 
Trying not to lose the light
Oh don’t you let go 

Let me know what’s on your mind
I swear to you I have the time
Oh you’re not alone

I know you been feeling down
Can you just hear me out
I just wanna help somehow

I wish I could save you (save you) 
and strip away the pain
I wish I could save you (save you)
and watch it drift away
Oh

You tell me you feel dead inside
Taking naps to help subside
From feeling so low

I know it’s not an easy fight
So I'll be there right by your side
You’re never alone

I know you been feeling down
Please can you hear me out
I really wanna help somehow

I wish I could save you (save you) 
and strip away the pain
I wish I could save you (save you)
and watch it drift away
Oh
I wish I could save you (save you) 
and strip away the pain
I wish I could save you (save you)
and watch it drift away
Oh

I wish that I could save you oh
I just wanna be your rope
Oh don’t you lose hope
 
If only I could save you oh
I don’t wanna see you go
You don’t have to be alone
