Lyrics:

I kinda like the idea of you and me together
but I like to runaway.
So don't get used to the thought of forever
because I'm not used to stay.

Don't be so glad you met me
'cause you don't know nothing yet.
All the love you were searching
will turn into regret.

'Cause I'm not one for the endgame,
I'm not the one you want by your side.
But I like the way we're pretending
we know exactly what's on our minds.

I kinda like the idea of you and me together
but I like to runaway.
So don't get used to the thought of forever
because I'm not used to stay.

Don't think the way I look into your eyes
means something more.
Because I just try to figure out
the perfect time to go.

'Cause I'm not one for the endgame,
I'm not the one you were trying to find.
But something started a fire
and I'm scared to lose my mind...

I kinda like the idea of you and me together
but I like to runaway.
So don't get used to the thought of forever
because I'm not used to stay.

How did I end up like this?
It was just a kiss, it was just a kiss.
How did I end up like this?
It was just a kiss, it was just a kiss.
How did I end up like this?
I'm not used to miss, I'm not used to miss.
But I miss you and I don't know what to do.

I kinda like the idea of you and me together
but I like to runaway.
So don't get used to the thought of forever
because I'm not used to stay.

Runaway

Lyrics:

Black coffee in the morning, sitting on your desk
next to the papers signed with your name.
Black suits and meetings, the smoke of cigarettes
blurring your silhouette.

I could spend hours and days
looking at the wrinkles on your face.
I wanna get lost today
in the way that you say my name.

God knows all the sins you hide
behind your angel smile, let me find out.
Let me find out, let me find out.
Are you asking me to think twice?
I thought I saw a spark in your eyes.
Let me start a fire, let me start a fire.
Let me start a fire...

A rush of adrenaline the minute you touch my hand,
a spark turns into a flame.
Your skin is my worst enemy.
You got me wondering all the time
what's underneath your black tie.

Can't reconcile in my head
what I should do and what I wanna say.
It might be too late to look back,
let me close the door and cover our tracks.

God knows all the sins you hide
behind your angel smile, let me find out.
Let me find out, let me find out.
Are you asking me to think twice?
I thought I saw a spark in your eyes.
Let me start a fire, let me start a fire.
Let me start a fire...

Black coffee in the morning, it's cold tonight
next to the ashes of our desire.
Someone's on the door knocking,
we burned down some rules...
Who will walk out first... me or you?

Black Coffee In The Morning

Lyrics:

I'm taking my time and taking a chance,
all I want is to hold your hand.
It's been a while and things have changed,
except for the smile shining on your face.

Let's go outside, "hey, how you've been?"
I thought by now I'd never see you again.
It's been a while and things have changed,
except for my heart screaming out your name.

When the clock strikes 12 don't fade away.
I'll draw your fingers touching my skin
like the whole world is depending on it.
When the clock strikes 12 just say my name.

Am I taking a breath or am I taking your hand?
You always make me feel like I'm flying away.
It's been a while but I know what you'll say,
it's on the tip of my tongue, it's in the back of my head.

Let's go outside, "hey, how you've been?"
I thought by now I'd never see you again.
It's been a while and things have changed,
except for my heart screaming out your name.

I'm drawing your hand, it's all I wanna take
and piece by piece, we'll fall into place.
I'm just a puzzle signed with your name
and you're the missing piece that could never fit.
It's been a while but I couldn't change,
still I fall in your eyes like an open gate...

I didn't have time to write something this week, so this is a song I wrote during one of my many existential crisis regarding my songwriting. Also, there was a storm outside while I was recording this so you might hear the sound of my window crying for help.

Lyrics:

Push me 'till I fall, I don't need this.
Kick me when I'm down, I don't need this.
Tell me that you love me, I don't need this.
Or that you're bored of me, I don't need this.

Pointing out my flaws, I don't need this.
'Cause I already know and it's a long list.
Your little white lies, I don't need them.
They only come from your mouth and I can see it.

But if you tell me something from your heart, I'll believe it.
But if you expect me to be someone I'm not, I'll just leave it
right here... I don't need this.

I could be better, I don't need this.
I think I like the way I am feeling.
Don't rain on my parade, I don't need it.
I can put myself down better than you will.

Take me out like trash, I don't need this.
I didn't like it anyway, you can keep it.
I don't need all the emptys "you're good at it"
'cause honestly I already know I am.

I Don't Need This

Lyrics:

Open up my eyes to this new life
and I wait for a signal to step outside.
And who I was is waving goodbye
and now there's this empty space to fill up.

But I'm happy here 'cause no one told me how to feel.
But it's quiet here like they're waiting for something to steal.

It's a strange feeling, standing in this new place.
Everything's familiar except my face.
It's a perfect healing, standing in this strange place.
Everything's familiar except myself.

I'm taking back my side in these trying times
and if I learn to stick together, I will rise.
'Cause who I was will come back
and all of these bruises will keep me intact.

But I am confused, 'cause no one taught me how to lose.
And I can blame it all on you but you can blame it on me too.

It's a strange feeling, standing in this new place.
Everything's familiar except my face.
It's a perfect healing, standing in this strange place.
Everything's familiar except myself.

But I'm happy here 'cause no one taught me how to feel.
But I'm happy here 'cause no one told me how to feel.

It's a strange feeling, standing in this new place.
Everything's familiar except my face.
It's a perfect healing, standing in this strange place.
Everything's familiar except myself.

But I'm happy here 'cause no one told me how to feel.
But I'm happy here 'cause no one told me how to feel.

Familiar

Lyrics:

Let me tell you what the situation is:
I’m running out of time, fast as the ignition
and I missed a couple signs hidden in your eyes,
I keep looking away in case you won’t look back.
But it’s magnetic, hell, you’re so addictive.
I try to catch your eye but your eye is cryptic
and I missed a couple times of seeing your smile,
might be a good thing 'cause I would die for a while.

Don’t complicate it, you know I’d come around…
It keeps us waiting, this silence is so loud.

Let me tell you, I’ve been paying attention:
we’re dancing ‘round an answer that had no question
and it’s almost tragic that I’m leaving again
without your number written in my hand.
And I don’t get it, hell, you’re so magnetic.
It takes all in me to just try to behave
and it’s almost tragic that I’m leaving again
all my sanity in your hands.

But I complicate it, thinking you won’t come around
(what) the hell I’m waiting? This silence is so loud.

You got in my head, places I’ve never been.
Don’t even know your name, baby it’s not fair.

Let me tell you, I’ve been paying attention:
we’re dancing ‘round an answer that had no question
and it’s almost tragic that I’m leaving again,
I’ll give you just a minute so you ask me to stay.

We complicate it, like it’s a damn playground
What the hell we’re waiting? Our silence is so loud.
We complicate it, like there’s a shred of doubt
What the hell we’re waiting? Our silence is so loud.
We complicate it, yet we’re both around…
Still waiting, this silence is so loud.

(This Silence Is So) Loud (demo)
