you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
and all the hipsters and has-beens 
well, they can all just fuck off

and it's been eating my heart out
and now it's gone to my head
that we have peaked for some months now 
and this is all gonna end

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down
darling, we're picking up speed

and all the shit that I'm talking 
it's just nonsense and slurs
but I'll be fun around your friends 
oh they're glad for their girl

yeah we can put on a show huh 
and are you proud of me then 
you know I love how you hold us 
in the palm of your hand

darling, we're picking up speed

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down

you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
cuz you got great taste in fashion 
and surely I, I have none

💎💎💎 LYRICS 💎💎💎
Good lord, how you drive them wild			
Got them tripping on their tongues trying to make you smile	
Good lord, got them weak at the knees		      
But you know it ain’t the good lord that makes them wanna please you

Sweet as sugar, you’re their catnip
Lips like poison in your pink lipstick

You’re an angel
Got that Hollywood smile
Flash it at everyone
Make them feel like they’re enough
Oh baby it’s a Hollywood lie
‘Cause they all know your name
But no one knows your pain
Ooh

Good lord how they want to be you
Now you’re dressing like danger on a Sunday afternoon
Get the girls round
Get the boys round
Get them all round
Racking up lines in your mother’s bedroom

You’re an angel
Got that Hollywood smile
Flash it at everyone
Make them feel like they’re enough
Oh baby it’s a Hollywood lie
‘Cause they all know your name
But no one knows your pain
Ooh

‘Cause every time you find a reason
Behind the charade and start believing
They tell you you’re insane
Just another pretty face behind a famous name
Ooh

You’re an angel 
Got that Hollywood smile
Flash it at everyone
Make them feel like they’re enough
Oh baby it’s a Hollywood lie
‘Cause they all know your name
But no one knows your pain no
You’re an angel 
Got that Hollywood smile
Flash it at everyone
Make them feel like they’re in love
Oh baby just a Hollywood life
‘Cause they all know your name
But no one knows your pain	          
No, no, no, no

I'm back home
Where the grass grows, and the wind blows
Show me a world
That we're making as we're waiting

Honey before I wasn't sure
Now I know just when I met you
A light at the door, glowing ashore
And I fool my mind to see you

Jennifer, tell me you're the one
Jennifer, tell me you're the one

And I look to the coast, that's where I grew up
I found my way through the forest was delirious

Honey before I wasn't sure
Now I know just when I met you
A light at the door, glowing ashore
And I fool my mind to see you

Jennifer, tell me you're the one
Jennifer, tell me you're the one

Jennifer, tell me you're the one
Jennifer, tell me you're the one

And the thought of it
Oh, it makes me rush
There's a time and place
I'll forever watch it go

Maybe I've been so far off again
Take a chance, don't throw it to the wind
Often thought we can find a better place
Hope will let you take us home all the way

Jennifer, tell me you're the one
Jennifer, tell me you're the one

Jennifer, tell me you're the one
Jennifer, tell me you're the one

Jennifer

A grateful, lucky songwriter that really is just thankful to still be here. I love making music and every bit of it has been fun to make. I’m also a beach bum at heart.
