Escape

Verse 1
I'm alone in the dark, can't get out of this place
There is something better out there that I wanna chase.
I am losing my mind, locked up day after day
and you're the only one who's ever made me feel this way.

Pre-Chorus
I just want you to know
That a feeling in my heart told me to never let you go.
You're all that I need before I go to leave
So why don't you just take a chance with me?

Chorus
So fly away! I've gotta escape!
And I was wondering if you'd come with me?
Just fly away! Get outta this place!
Cause baby baby we've got no time to waste.

Verse 2
Movin' on with my life, just finding my way.
And I know, if I tried, I could find the path for me.
Finally found peace of mind in this wide open place.
I am out of my rut, the journey's callin' my name!

Pre-Chorus 2
I just want you to know
That a feeling in my heart told me to never let you go.
You're all that I need before I go to leave
And I'm so glad you took a chance with me!

Confessions

This song is about getting Ghosted on Tinder (or in real life).

Ghostin’

Verse 1
Tonight
is the night
For me to say what has been going through my mind:
I’ve felt
so dull
Since I put you on that pedestal

Now you’re spoiled, boujee
Cause you’re living lavish in my head rent-free
How am I supposed to tell you how I feel
When you’re not even gonna keep it real?

Pre chorus
I’ve got so much to say to you
But It’s like I have to get through all your friends, too
But they don’t reply, and neither do you
And it makes me wanna know:

Chorus
Why is everybody always ghostin me
Why can’t you just make some time to talk to me?
And I’m starting to think that you’re ashamed of me, cause when I go to call
You’re just ignoring me for no reason at all

Talk to me girl, yeah

Talk to me girl, yeah

Talk to me girl, yeah

I’ll tell you what I really need

Verse 2
What I want
Is your love
But even if we’re just friends that’s enough
Although I got this feeling
That being your friend is tough

All my friends
Think Im insane
And they don’t really wanna hear your name
Cause I talk to much and I’ve been a fool
I think that they just wanna ghost me too

Pre chorus 2
And I just know that nobody cares
I’m opening my door when there’s no one there
They want me to change, and I feel the same
But I just wanna know

Chorus
Why is everybody always ghostin me
Why can’t you just make some time to talk to me?
And I’m starting to think that you’re ashamed of me, cause when I go to call
You’re just ignoring me for no reason at all


Solos


Outro
And I...
Don’t really know why you’re treating me this way
You make me feel so in the wrong so…

Talk to me girl! x4
(What’s going on?!)

This song is about the addicting obsession that a person develops when having feelings for someone.
lyrics
Verse 1
Out of nowhere like a dream
No need to close my eyes, they want me to look twice
The sight of you is addicting to my soul
You know I can’t resist, but my feelings never miss

Pre Chorus
24/7 you got me in a loop and it just
Feels like heaven, the way you drive me wild now it boils down to you, baby I just wanna hear the truth.
We’ve got nothing to lose.

Chorus
And I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes me feel so good inside

If you only felt the way I do ‘bout you
Then we could be so good together if we see it through.

I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes my heart dance in the sky

If you only felt the way I do bout you
We wouldn’t have to run so far to see our feelings through

Verse 2
You keep playing with my feelings
Did that ever cross your mind, when your lips were touching mine?
And I don’t know if you just wanna keep fooling around.
Or if there’s something else in mind that you were thinking of.

Pre Chorus 2
24/7 Im guessing your emotions by the seconds, I’m dreading to find out what you’ll do. Will my heart just split in two? Baby I just wanna hear the truth, if you just leave me hanging, how will I go on?

Chorus
And I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes me feel so good inside

If you only felt the way I do ‘bout you
Then we could be so good together if we see it through.

I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes my heart dance in the sky

If you only felt the way I do bout you
We wouldn’t have to run so far to see our feelings through

Bridge
You’re the only one that I desire
But if you don’t wanna try, then what’s the point of life
You can keep me by your side, or just leave me in the dark.
But I know you’re gon’ be missing me tonight

Chorus
And I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes me feel so good inside

If you only felt the way I do ‘bout you
Then we could be so good together if we see it through.

I just want to know if I’m running through your mind
Like the way you run through mine
Makes my heart dance in the sky

If you only felt the way I do bout you
We wouldn’t have to run so far (we wouldn't have to run so far)
Then we wouldn't have to run so far to see our feelings through
