Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm only dreaming
Of a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here concealing
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm lost, I'm feeling
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here
I'm believing in you

Alone with my heart...
Alone with my heart...
Alone with my heart...
Alone with my heart...

Alone with my heartbeat on a Friday night
Doing my best to do this right
When tomorrow's the day we'll get to be
And flirt with each other openly

It goes on and on
But feels like you're the one
When I wondered what I had begun

Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm only dreaming
Of a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here concealing
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm lost, I'm feeling
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here
I'm believing in you

I don't think I could look in your eyes
But kiss me when I'd want to hide

And it goes on and on
It seems we're meant to be
And all I'd want is our Victory

Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm only dreaming
Of a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here concealing
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm lost, I'm feeling
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here
I'm believing in you

In you...

Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm only dreaming
Of a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here concealing
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me, I'm lost, I'm feeling
For a
Beautiful boy
You got me right here
I'm believing in you

In you...

Beautiful

I'm scared of feeling this way
'Cause I thought you didn't want me
But there's a thrill to the feel
When your skin on mine still haunts me

That's why I'm running on back
Gotta be all up on that

Still the same, nothing has changed
Your blonde is mesmerizing
You're still my little weakeness and
You got my body

Dying for your lips
Gotta get all up on this

Boy, it's dangerous
'Cause I'm feeling it
It's long overdue
And I'm feeling like

I'm about to lose something
I'm about to do something bad with you

Should I pray the desire away
And take a chance on heaven?
What if paradise is in your eyes
And I should learn my lesson

Then maybe I'll let you do
Whatever you're needing to do to me

Boy, it's dangerous
'Cause I'm feeling it
It's long overdue
And I'm feeling like

I'm about to lose something
I'm about to do something bad with you

Boy, it's dangerous
'Cause I'm feeling it
It's long overdue
And I'm feeling like

I'm about to lose something
I'm about to do something bad with you

Boy, it's dangerous...

Do you remember that night
When I melted into you under the rain?
It was only you and I lit by the slightest flicker
Of a dim street light far away
I could only see your shadow but it was enough
To know that you couldn't love me more than in that moment 
Then you would walk away and leave my heart a wreck

dangerous

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

A Little Respect

I know I shouldn't be
Falling over
Just got off the love
And I'm finally sober
My mind is telling me
"Boy, you're not over"
But my body's screaming
"You're getting older"

Now I... never thought
It would be this way
But I've felt for you 
Since that first day

First day

When you listen to me
System's on the extreme
You're the overdrive, couldn't hide
The way I was feeling
And I'm certain you knew
But run, you didn't do
You stayed and I prayed
I'd make it with you

I know I shouldn't be
Falling over
Just got off the love
And I'm finally sober
My mind is telling me
"Boy, you're not over"
What did I do?
We're getting colder

Now I... was into you
For a long time
So... why do you 
Occupy my mind

My mind

When you listen to me
System's on the extreme
You're the overdrive, couldn't hide
The way I was feeling
And I'm certain you knew
But run, you didn't do
You stayed and I prayed
I'd make it with you

I know I shouldn't be
Falling over
Just got off the love
And I'm finally sober
My mind is telling me
"Boy, you're not over"
What did I do?
We're getting colder

I know I shouldn't be
Falling over
Just got off the love
And I'm finally sober
My mind is telling me
"Boy, you're not over"
But my body's screaming
"You're getting older"

You're getting older

We're getting colder

over

Met you yesterday and by accident
I think feelings developed
You don't know it yet, but I think that I love you
Quite intense, no pretense
I find myself going from zero to a hundred
Evidence is how I'm still thinking about you

You're so smooth 
When you're talking to me like lovers do
You and I
Should test drive this one night

Bet you got just what I need
And I'd give you my everything
My inexperience with yours, now tell me
Would you like to stay the night?
Can't say if it's wrong or right
Just cover me with you and in your velvet

It don't make sense but I'm entranced
This is unusual thought in isolation
I want nothing else but to feel you around me

You're so smooth 
When you're talking to me like lovers do
You and I
Should test drive this one night

Bet you got just what I need
And I'd give you my everything
My inexperience with yours, now tell me
Would you like to stay the night?
Can't say if it's wrong or right
Just cover me with you and in your velvet

I wonder where "us" would be in the
Timeline of my life
How I want some of your velvet

Bet you got just what I need
And I'd give you my everything
My inexperience with yours, now tell me
Would you like to stay the night?
Can't say if it's wrong or right
Just cover me with you and in your velvet

Bet you got just what I need
And I'd give you my everything
My inexperience with yours, now tell me
Would you like to stay the night?
Can't say if it's wrong or right
Just cover me with you and in your velvet

======================================
I don't like the way we're going
Both of us keep talking our shit
Used to be so close before but
Now we're torn apart at our differences

We've got a lot of differences...

I don't know what the hell you're doing
No disrespect, I just wanted your body
I didn't want to get involved with
All your bullshit but I guess that's changed

I guess we've changed...

We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...

I'm not trying to make sense no more
Lost my judgment it's so stupid
The politics of corporate greed
But we're #BERNing ourselves to nothing

What will be left of us is nothing

We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...

We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...

Slow It Down - Radio Mix

I'm tired of this bullshit
I'm so tired of it
Apologizing for nothing
And when they call it out
You spin back to I'm sorry
And fuck I'm not
So take back your words
And I'll take back mine

Won't value your notion
'Cause what's not my fault
Is your lack of devotion
Did I say too much?
I haven't properly thanked you
For what you done
I guess I'm the problem...

I wouldn't even consider
Saying these words to you
If you showed some integrity 
Behind the things you do
You lie and scandalize
To hide what's in plain view
And when I call you out
One thing you'll always do

Victimize it
Victimize it
Victimize it
Sympathize it
Sympathize it
Sympathize it
Victimize it
Victimize it
Victimize it
Sympathize it
Sympathize it
Sympathize it

I'm tired of this bullshit
I'm tired of
All the politicization
You do it so good
And your orientation
With yours like mine
Can't break from the station

Oh did I make sense?
I'm sorry not sorry
Oh did you want me
To be quiet and fall in line
Did I speak up
And you didn't let me
Now you're the victim
I get that you need this

Victimize It!

I built a rocket so I’d escape
When I met you my plans changed
Decided I should scale it back
And put my own ambitions last 
I built a rocket so I could leave
I try but can’t seem to break free
Is this how we'll always be
Stuck here for eternity

Trapped in a room the size of my dreams
Thinking how my life could've been
How small I’ve made myself become
To orbit in your solar system
I want to be where I can be
'Cause riding with you is not for me
No matter what, you'll disagree

I built a rocket to find myself
In the arms of someone else
I tried and tried to no avail
I can’t believe how much I’ve failed
I built a rocket to fantasy
Get out my life and restart green
I wanted him to rescue me 
So sad to think I’m this naive

Trapped in a room the size of my dreams
Thinking how my life could've been
How small I’ve made myself become
To orbit in your solar system
I want to be where I can be
'Cause riding with you is not for me
No matter what, you'll disagree

I gotta start living for me

No more sitting on the sideline
Waiting for a lifeline
Who gone love me better?
No more trying to understand you
'Cause I don't give a damn, ooo
Why should I, why should I care?

Trapped in a room the size of my dreams
Thinking how my life could've been
How small I’ve made myself become
To orbit in your solar system
I want to be where I can be
'Cause riding with you is not for me
No matter what, you'll disagree

I gotta start living for me

Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here
Be my rocket out of here

Why are we here like this?

Starts in my bed
With you on my mind
And all my regrets
You're wasting my time
What goes around done comes around
And you ghost around
You come around me

It's not what you say
It's what I don't do
And all the lost words
I can't say to you
What goes around done comes around
And you ghost around
You come around me

What goes around comes around
Your ghost around comes around

Comes around
Comes around
Comes around
Comes around
Comes around

Your ghost around comes around

What you doing, my love?

In these precarious times
When nothing seems right
And there is no light
Let me pretend there is
At the end of this tunnel
Shadows that were there before
Now crept in once more
And hold tight the door
Stay our differences
When the road seems too troubled

I wanna believe
That we can break free
I want to be free 
Of these anxieties
And feel alive again... again
All I want to know
Is where we can go
Where nothing is broken
And find ourselves whole
And feel alive again... again

Again...

In these precarious times
When day seems like night
Four years now we've tried
So why do we fight
When it comes down to it
Won't matter?

I wanna believe
That we can break free
I want to be free 
Of these anxieties
And feel alive again... again
All I want to know
Is where we can go
Where nothing is broken
And find ourselves whole
And feel alive again... again

Again...

Will nothing be broken
Once we have our own
And are we resorted to
Reliving the past when
We know we can be 
So much better than this?
