LYRICS:

I wanna go to the ocean where I’m free
the forest for the color changing leaves
maybe a mountain, city, or country
livin a daydream, keep on forgetting
same old places, worn out faces
if this is home then why am I homesick

CHORUS:
I wanna go, I wanna go far away
where nobody knows my name
nothing to prove, nothing to lose
starting over, starting new
anywhere but here

on the ground, got no baggage
breaking off bad habits 
furnishing my studio how I like
spending the day and staying out all night
and I’m bored of being bored, craving something more
broke as hell, heaven is a setting I haven’t been 
travelling, taking in serotonin shots, I gots to try everything
falling in love on a rooftop, 
soul searching and it don’t STOP
friends with the deep conversation, sharing our secrets
cutting my hair
learning a foreign language, como se dice “take me there”

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
one way ticket to LA
Mumbai, Guantanamo Bay
Santorini, St Tropez
ay, ay, ay 
Amazon, Appalachian
Bermuda, Beijing, Boston
give me a movie cliche

CHORUS: x2

Far Away

LYRICS:

you got that ivy league, ivory status in your pocket
it’s so pretentious, it’s kinda romantic

and I ride my bike around labels and sticks
then I only think about you, how ironic

CHORUS:
young-in-love misery, I’m a fool for you, for you
can’t do anything until you call 
sympathy symphony, shades of blue for you, for you
sinking into this apartment floor

rehearse my voicemails and panic before I dial your number
but you’re so reckless, it’s kinda confession

late in the library, [shhh] concentrate, all I know
is our knees touching under the table

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
for once it doesn’t matter
so break my heart, whatever
love me like a letter I’ll read forever
and ever and ever and ever

CHORUS:

Ivy League (worktape)

LYRICS:

in the corner of the room
you’re watching me like poetry yeah
and I’ve always been alone
but lately can’t help the excitement

dressing up, roaming about
talking prettier cause maybe you’re around
moving close, getting a rush
freaking out when you lean in and our hands touch

CHORUS:
you make me feel
you make me feel
and I don’t know how to act
don’t know how to be
colors of your love came so suddenly

I say jokes under my breath
that no one hears but you still laugh
we have a language of our own
but too shy to say anything

you hesitate, then compliment
something trivial so I won’t take offense
and your eyes dare to hope
never knew I had a heart someone could hold

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
keep doing what you’re doing
doing what you’re doing
doing what you’re doing

CHORUS: (x2)

You Make Me Feel

my world is pixelated
pieces of a saturated
virtual insanity

my life is isolated
yet I live for empty faces
liking only what they see

PRE-CHORUS:
and I…
I’m

CHORUS:
stuck in two dimensions
surface level breathing
see my own reflection
trying to find a meaning
there has to be more
there was a before
got lost in the illusion
of a modern world

I tried to keep the dark away behind a screen
kept my head down from reality

missed the snow, missed the rain, missed the pain
till I didn’t feel a thing

PRE-CHORUS:

CHORUS:

Two Dimensions

LYRICS:

meet cute, so soon, too good to be true love
but we make up any sign from above
you like what I represent, I like the attention
mistake it for romance

Captain Cardboard, I’m the source of your kicks
who needs a life when I have yours to fix
glow up for the party scene, blow up when it’s time to clean
camera’s off, so are we

CHORUS:
build me up and love me like I am your
dream girl
fall apart and love you like I am your
dream girl
just play the role and be my man yeah 
I’ll be your Manic Pixie Dream Girl

get determined to be disappointed
at this point I’m better as an idea
you say that I’m acting different when I stop pretending
to show up just for show

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
sorry that I wasted all of your prime time
sorry that I wasted mine
trying to be somebody bigger than my body
trying to rely on a lie

CHORUS:

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

The More Things Change (demo)

ffm.to/poorconnection/

LYRICS:
“hey, how’ve you been, anything going on?”
“yeah, I’m fine, you know the usual”
we’re tripping over small talk, too much to say yet not enough
soaking in the silence 

CHORUS:
yeah we used to talk everyday
used to have things to say
used to love giving our all 
but we got used to half listening
used to not missing me
used to ignoring your calls
we won’t say what’s wrong, drift apart, learn to blame it on
poor conne - - - ction

easy to say distance made us distant
but if everything’s right wouldn’t this be working
or were we weaker than we first thought, looking for any reason to stop
broken by the silence

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
who’s gonna take that step, cause you’re not here and I’m not there
who’s gonna own up to the truth

CHORUS:

Poor Connection

LYRICS:

Frank Ocean, Frank O’Hara
a double sided mirror
I get high then introspective
leaves on the ground, Japanese movies
everything is poetic when I am pathetic it’s true
they loved deep but I’m weak
don’t speak unless you’re
Frank Ocean, Frank O’Hara
I stare at the plaster
plain and bare
ringing eulogies for what ceased to be
“the only thing left to do is continue”
look to my heroes like a northern star
a flickering lamp light on 16th avenue
crawling back to pieces of me before you

Frank Ocean, Frank O’Hara (worktape)

LYRICS:

kiss me on a rainy day
pull me when I push away
hold me even though I go astray

cause every time you look at me
I find it hard to believe
you want me just the way I am

CHORUS:
I’m falling but I’ve never been so high
safe at home but full of butterflies
don’t know what it is, but I know it’s what I need
darling, please love me 

cause every night I walk in time
count the stars that aligned
dream when I’m awake, cause you are mine

CHORUS: 

I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
don’t know what it is, but I know it’s what I need
darling, please love me

Please Love Me (worktape)

LYRICS:

I, I took a trip, straight through the sky
aimed for the stars but I got stuck in space
fell out of place

so I, I head out west, to manifest my destiny
vampires and valley girls
it’s a wicked world

CHORUS:
and I break down
till I have a break through it all
nothing matters, it’s not real
who cares
we’re a floating rock in some space
so leave a message, I’m not here

you, you came along and got me out
in this rescue rocket, but too late
crushed by the weight

CHORUS:
and I break down
till I have a break through it all
nothing matters, it’s not real
who cares
we’re a floating rock in some space
so leave a message, I’m not here

BRIDGE:
ooh, tell me what you mean
cause all that I believe
is love and gravity, 
are never what they seem

CHORUS:
and I break down
till I have a break through it all
nothing matters, it’s not real
who cares
we’re a floating rock in some space
so leave a message, I’m not here

Floating Rock

ffm.to/eashaundercoverlover

LYRICS:
tough love, the pulse of my heart is impulse
pacing like we’re on the run
a side of me says pick me
like flowers from the pavement

fast streetcar bout a block away
stay, ready set go, steady getaway yeah
stumbling blind through the dark
a spark can light a hundred miles to the 
perfect place aah

CHORUS:
you’re my Undercover Lover
you’re my Undercover Lover
you’re my Undercover Lover

underneath my skin and across the courtyard
your boys they don’t know but I know what they don’t yeah
wear a mask in disguise, but I can see a single glance
and not second guess aah

CHORUS:
I’m your Undercover Lover
I’m your Undercover Lover
I’m your Undercover Lover
violent, young, and desperate
meet me at our spot
the pieces will fall into place
violent, young, and desperate
I’ll be here at our spot
there’s just something about the chase 

you’re handing over scribbles in envelopes, telling everyone that you really hate me
oh isn’t it fun
flirting like it’s a con
oh isn’t it fun
flirting like it’s a con
 
like we’re Undercover Lovers

and you’re acting naturally now
with no one else, no one else around
think I like you better
when it’s just us two together

Undercover Lover

ffm.to/electricblue

LYRICS:

the beach at night 
salt rough on your skin
living in the present
bioluminescence

you speak slowly and lowly
I even like the way you tell me off
biting and blunted, it’s different
tide is tight pulling in

climb this rock and I dive in
feel the shock of emotion

CHORUS
Electric blue
swimming in you
give me a fever dream high
glowing in the dark
come through, electric blue
in my veins and all around
cover me electricity

I want to be understood
you touch me where hands couldn’t
listening your grip is
stronger than the ocean

sinking ships, crashing harder
deep breaths underwater

CHORUS

Electric Blue

LYRICS:

kiss me on a rainy day
pull me when I push away
hold me even though I go astray

cause every time you look at me
I find it hard to believe
you want me just the way I am

CHORUS:
I’m falling but I’ve never been so high
safe at home but full of butterflies
don’t know what it is, but I know it’s what I need
darling, please love me

cause every night I walk in time
count the stars that aligned
dream when I’m awake, cause you are mine

CHORUS:

I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
don’t know what it is, but I know it’s what I need
darling, please love me

Please Love Me

ffm.to/eashagrayarea

LYRICS:

remember when you called me pretty
and all of your flaws disappear,
you were drunk but who cares
since that makes it real,
may be delusional but my body was there,

and one day you called me brave,
all your compliments made sense,
even if you didn’t love me
you really did know me,
that’s more than I can say for the rest,

if this is me at my best,
why am I still reminiscing to when I was your favorite

sometimes I forget to regret you,
the softer the bruise becomes,
and I’ve dated distractions, in and out of trains,
same conclusion no one compares,

tiny, little epiphanies
but the mourning period is long gone,
so I whisper in voids and write them in songs,
place my bets that you’re listening along,

if this is me at my best,
why is my worth still tied to being your favorite

God it’s so boring without you
without the peace I had before,
and the hurt is more distant in my gut,
I’m not sure if it’s leaving or deepening

All Your Compliments

ffm.to/eashagrayarea

LYRICS:

when I left you in person I figured it out,
terrified to be attached, I wanted to kiss your mouth,
and I can’t, but I can’t shake off the feeling, still reeling,
in retrospect, a relationship is what we were,

always so subtly sweet,
how the hell am I supposed to hate 
somebody who was never a guarantee,
by my side, crooked smile, touch me on the knee,
what were we?

and I wish you were a stranger
who had punched me in the face and ran away,
but I exaggerate what happened,
if I told it like it is I’d be ashamed

I just hope one day we’ll be damned and blind drunk to tell the truth,
that we were too scared to love each other through,
but you’ll change the subject so what’s the use,
deep down I knew, I think you knew too,

and I wish you were a stranger
who had punched me in the face and ran away,
but I exaggerate what happened,
if I told it like it is I’d be ashamed

and I’ll take it to my grave but I grieve what we were

What We Were

Thank you to Abrielle on the flute!! This song is one my favorites that I've ever written so please share! Lyrics below.

Lyrics:

Where does it all go wrong
when the flowers die
do you start to cry

When do you reach the end
when you lose your love
do you lose your friend

(Chorus)
maybe in another life
we’d meet, and I would know what’s right
wouldn’t kill me to look you in the eyes
you’re the only place I go
I’ll spend my days chasing your ghost
cause I don’t know how to say goodbye

why did we give it up
did I say too much
or not enough

(Chorus)

and I’m sorry that it took so long to say
but you stay on my mind
you were thunder, I was lightning
perfect storm except the timing wasn’t right

(Chorus)
I guess this is goodbye

How To Say Goodbye

my friends are in a line on the sidewalk
but I’ll stay behind so I can make room
never the best friend, but it’s a bargain
rather the sidekick than kicked to the curb

I’ve gotten used to being alone
but the joke’s getting older, so am I
I try and try to give it up, but this hope just stuck
I’ve been waiting so long

if I turn heads, it’s all in my head
cause I’m not the one you wanna take home
writing these love songs, feeling like a fraud
when will the dreams inside come alive

I’ve gotten used to movie lies
that hold me tight, saying you’ll be fine
I try and try to give it up, but this hope just stuck
I’ve been waiting so long

thoughts that keep me up at night

You Make Me Feel (worktape)

I Can't Breathe #blacklivesmatter

written by Easha Nandyala, Liz Rose, Femke Weidema, Shravya Nandyala

LYRICS:

you asked me why the sky is blue
cause it doesn’t know what it’s like to touch the ground
You asked my why the waves keep coming back
cause they’re looking for a distant shore they haven’t found

PRE-CHORUS:
Ooh why do we always chase all the things we can’t have 

CHORUS:
What if every high is just a low
And the bottom is the top, we don’t know
What if every end is a beginning
if we didn’t run, took a breath
Would the world keep spinning

you ask me why we are at war
cause someone else always has what we need
you ask me why we’re never free
cause who we are is never who we want to be

PRE-CHORUS: 

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
they say love makes the world go round
they say money makes the world go round
yeah we all make the world go round
ain’t it funny how we all go round

PRE-CHORUS:

CHORUS:  
If I only lived
never loved
Would the world keep spinning

Manic Pixie Dream Girl (worktape)

written by Easha Nandyala

LYRICS:
it was the summer I learned to love 
politics and Elliot Smith cause you did

swinging in the backyard
wind in my hair and words
you’re playing it cool like a kid

but 

CHORUS:
I’m the kind of girl that you write songs about
mystery you can’t get out your head 
before you sleep at night
once in a lifetime 
you’re taking pictures you can’t bare to lose
be the artist to my muse
I think dying is a beautiful thing to do by your side

I bleed on paper 
so the fact of the fiction
is alive on the page when I’m gone

coming undone in dark corridors
we’re catching our breath, just for a moment
and I could waste all of my time in between the lines

cause 
CHORUS:

every movement in my rearview
and every place in reference to you
if nothing else can I be your regret years from now

CHORUS:

Dying Is a Beautiful Thing to Do

I Don't Like You

Happy Ending

A Little Bit Longer

welcome to this world of manufactured melancholy, I think you'll like it here <3
