I made a silly little song about Coffee Meets Bagel, the dating app. Hahaha.

[Verse]
It's a brand new day, a new set of faces
Of people you might meet
Who could be the one, while you're at it just have fun
While you're walking down the street

[Verse]
Going through the motion is a process
Look, like or pass, repeat
Which of these people would be the one
Who makes you feel complete?

[Pre-Chorus]
I stop when I come across your profile
You're not typically my type
I think there's more to you than meets the eye
So I hit "like"

[Chorus]
Let me be the coffee to your bagel
I wanna hear you say, "let's see where this goes, girl"
So let me be the coffee to your bagel
And let's forget about all the labels, labels

[Verse]
First we chat, and then we meet
Feel each other out, do you like the heat?
It's up to us to set the rules
From then on, nobody knows!

[Verse]
Do you take it fast or take it slow?
I want to get to all about you
Will we kiss on date one
Or date twenty-two? Wait!

[Pre-Chorus]
I barely even know you
You don't know much about me
Dive into the deep end of conversations
Then we'll see

[Chorus]
Should I be the coffee to your bagel
Are you looking for a serious or hookup girl?
Should I be the coffee to your bagel
You've got my head all caught up in a whirl

[Verse]
Should you stay or should you run
Is there a checklist you tick off one by one
Ask yourself in advance
Will you regret if you don't take this chance?

What's the worst that can happen?
Move on, go back to the start
Make a choice, think it through
Ask yourself what's good for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Are we gonna get serious
Or are we gonna stay friends
The awkward conversation's coming
We all hope this is how it ends:

[Chorus x2]
I will be the coffee to your bagel
And you will say "I like where this is going, girl!"
So I will be the coffee to your bagel
And let's retire from the online dating world

Coffee Meets Bagel (Demo)

Going through a bit of a stressful, rough patch, so I wrote a song about summer time!

Verse
Withered roses sit by the window
I can’t bear to throw them away
It’s only been a few days

Your scent still lingers on my pillow
Everytime I hold it near
It’s as if you’re here

Pre-Chorus
These winter days are sad and lonely
I can’t wait till

Chorus
Summertime
It’ll be just you and I
Chasing rainbows living free
Dreaming bout cryptocurrency
Summertime
24/7 you’ll be mine
Rolling around messing up sheets
Writing music making beats
Summertime
Summertime

Verse
I’ve something to confess, hope you don’t mind
I stole your shirt, if you can’t find it
It’s here in my closet

Never thought I’d be like this
I’m sitting here thinking of your kisses
I miss you

Pre-Chorus
These winter days are long and dreary
I can’t wait till

Chorus

Ukulele solo

Summertime (Original Demo)

5 Million - A song for Singapore

Lyrics

Ooh x4

Verse
Little red dot, little white diamond
Full of secret spots, treasure island
Hopes and dreams are born
Memories live on

Where are you from, where are you going?
Doesn’t matter, cos we’ll keep on living
Knowing what’s inside my heart
It’s where it all started

Pre-Chorus
If you ever feel alone
Close your eyes and you’re home
Can you hear

Chorus
5 million voices singing
Baby girl you’re a star, keep shining
Never stop x3
5 million voices singing
Baby boy we’re got your back, keep dreaming
Don’t give up x3

Ooh x4

Verse
Embrace the love, open up your senses
Let the breeze take down your defenses
For a moment, just a moment, breathe

Feel the love, feel the kisses
Of unspoken words, you might have missed
While you were running running
Running running with the wind

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Ooh x4

5 Million :) (Demo)

Originally by JJ Lin

Lyrics

He quietly came around
And took away the silence
He left behind a promise
But didn’t take away the loneliness

Our love was never wrong
It was a beautiful mess all along
Doesn’t matter what he said
In the night, I toss and turn and lie awake in bed

I can’t wait another day,
These memories, turning gray
Waiting for the end as these ashes fade away
Doesn’t matter what he said,
I fall apart every single day

I can’t wait another day
This love’s withered away
As the seasons change, they leave a bitter taste
I fear not what tomorrow brings, 									I’m just afraid of waking

He Said (她说 English Cover)

Verse
When I’m crying on the floor and you’re not there
It’s not your fault, I know you really care
But there’s a thousand miles between us
And we’re living on blind trust 
There’s only so much I can take

Please don’t judge me for what I believe
If we’re meant to be, we’re meant to be
And I’ll find my way back into your arms
No matter where we are, but right now

Chorus
I can’t do the distance
I can’t take the pain
Knowing that you’re waiting for my heart to change
I can’t do the distance, the distance, the distance

I can’t do the distance
I’m going insane
Knowing that there’s nothing, nothing left to say,
I can’t do the distance, the distance, the distance

Verse
Maybe my heart just needs to take a little break
To realize if we’re making a mistake
Cos I can’t see the light at the end of the day
We’re just groping in the dark, losing our way
 
But I keep coming back to you over again, and we go
Round and round, round and round  
Going in circles
It’s sad but true, sometimes love is not enough
We’re just afraid of pain when we choose to give up

Chorus

Bridge 
We’re going down, going down
Round and round, round and round

Chorus

Bridge Outro

Distance (Draft 02)

Lyrics

Ball gowns and suits
Can't tell who's who
Share stories, switch roles
Stretched thin, I won't oppose

Chorus
Careful, what you do to me
Cos I can get a little bit freaky
Careful, what you do to me
You'll wish you never have to leave

Verse
Get out of here
Nothing to fear
We'll get lost and found
Get hooked on the turn around, turn around

Chorus

Bridge
Don't fall in love, don't fall in
Don't fall in love, don't fall in
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love
Don't fall in love, don't fall in

Chorus

Outro (bridge)

Careful (Draft)

Lyrics

Verse
I see you, you see me
A feeling so intense we can’t break free
Lose that chick. I’ll ditch this guy
Only we can give each other this kind of high
This kind of high

Chorus
I’ll be your once a week girlfriend
This is how we roll
Any other day I’ll be ice cold
Once a week girlfriend
Have a little fun
Once a week girlfriend
You know I’m the one
You know I’m the one
You you you know I’m the one

Verse
Let’s play pretend and dance all night
Tease each other till the morning light
Leave it at that, cos I’m better than this
If I’m your once a week girlfriend I’ll only blow a kiss
Only blow a kiss

Chorus

Bridge???

Once A Week Girlfriend (Draft)

Verse
Midnight
Call me out to play
Please don’t hesitate
I’ve been waiting, waiting

Street lights
They light the way
To our usual place 
They say, they say

Pre-Chorus
Tell me what you want tonight
Girl don’t put a fight
I’ll take you to cloud nine
Cos you are mine

Chorus
Ooh, the wolves are out
Let me tell what they’re all about
They won’t stop till the night is dead
Your sanity will hang by a thread

Ooh, the hunt is on
They’re out for blood till the break of dawn
Close your eyes, take a breath, be brave
They’ll protect you but you’re not safe

Verse
Lose her
That’s what they will do
Walk on over you
They’re craving, craving 

Closer
Arms around your waist
Give you a little taste
They say, they say

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
See them in the darkness, see them in the day
Catch their attention, there’s no escape 
See them in the darkness, see them in the day

Chorus x2
