CHAI TIME

VERSE 1
The clock ticks and beckons to me
OMG could it be that time already?
The best part of my day by far
The one and only golden hour

Whether I'm tired and cranky after a really rough day
Or I've happily slept through the entire day
Maybe I just need a pick me up
Either way all my answers are in this one cup!

PRE CHORUS
So pucker up and slurp it
That's how it's done, don't sip it

CHORUS
Don't call me if you get into trouble
I'm too busy in my own chai bubble
Cause when the clock strikes five
It's just me, myself, and my chai
Yeah just me, myself and my chai

VERSE 2
Maybe I'll pair it with a romance book
Or music and candles might be a good look
This time of the evening is essential
I plan it like it's a sacred ritual

Crushed cardamom, the scent of ginger, it's heaven to me
Frothy milk and boiling water, the perfect symphony
Before the first taste, I close my eyes
Making chai is my love language, now I realize

PRE CHORUS
So pucker up and slurp it
That's how it's done, don't sip it

CHORUS
Don't call me if you get into trouble
I'm too busy in my own chai bubble
Cause when the clock strikes five
It's just me, myself, and my chai
Yeah just me, myself and my chai

DREAMER

VERSE 1
She was told that the stars are too far
That she had to settle to watch them from afar
She was told that she loved too hard
That this dream of hers was not in the cards
But she knew this wasn't her reality
That she was actually part of a higher prophecy

CHORUS
So please stop with your opinions
This girl doesn't need your damn permission
To follow her heart and her vision
And you won't ever understand her
Cause she's a dreamer and you're a non believer

VERSE 2
She was told she couldn't handle the pain
But she knew that she wasn't insane
She was told she can't be great
But she firmly believed in the guidance of Fate
She knows she's meant for more
She's been forged from fires as hot as the Earth's core

CHORUS
So please stop with your opinions
This girl doesn't need your damn permission
This girl is a woman on a mission
And you won't ever understand her
Cause she's a dreamer and you're a non believer

BRIDGE
One day you'll tell everyone you knew her
When she makes it, that's for sure!
Because she relied on faith and love
On the signs she got from up above

CHORUS
So please stop with your opinions
This girl doesn't need your damn permission
This girl is a woman on a mission
And you won't ever understand her
Cause she's a dreamer and you're a non believer

WRONG TRAIN

VERSE 1
I know I gotta quit you
Your smile wrecked me on the first day I met you
I know we got something
And that it's messy, toxic, dark and tempting
Not a match made in heaven
We're more like a heartbreaking life lesson

PRE CHORUS
I can't keep ignoring the signs
We're just the wrong people at the right time
I keep running but I never get far
Because bad habits they die hard

CHORUS
The rose colored glasses have been shattered,
Yeah it's high time, high time, that we end this game
Cause what we have isn't worth chasing after
Need to get off, get off, this is the wrong train

VERSE 2
It'd be easier if I hate you,
But I forget that every time that I kiss you
It's true you make me cry,
Yet I keep coming back to hear your sweet lies,
Don't really wanna keep you,
Still I've never wished that I hadn't met you

PRE CHORUS
We've become each other's prison
Not soulmates, we are just a convenient option
I keep running but I never get far
Because old habits die hard

CHORUS
The rose colored glasses have been shattered,
Yeah it's high time, hight time, that we end this game
Cause what we have isn't worth chasing after
Need to get off, get off, this is the wrong train

Someone help me get off please, cause I'm on the wrong train

BIG BAD RED FLAG

VERSE 1
Can't feel the pain anymore
My eyes have dried up now
Turned to stone to my core
Can't ever fool me again
Toxicity in my every pore

With a Plastic smile, and a tin heart
Know exactly how to play the part
I'll lick my lips, do the hair flip
Sweet like nectar, can't stop at just one sip

PRE CHORUS
You filled me up with your lies (lies)
And your sickly sweet smiles (smiles)
I felt your poison drip inside (side)
Yeah...

CHORUS
You thought you broke me, left me to die after
Didn't know you created the Frankenstein monster
It's gonna be a shock, better get an airbag
Cause now I'm the big bad red flag
Yeah I'm the big bad red flag

VERSE 2
Now it's time for me to be selfish,
No more compromises or sacrifices,
This time it's your pain I'll relish,
Two can play at this game honey,
Being terrifyingly toxic is my new fetish

You'll never get all of me
Just enough to wanna be close to me
Soon you'll be left gasping for air
And I'll walk away without a care

PRE CHORUS
You filled me up with your lies (lies)
And your sickly sweet smiles (smiles)
I felt your poison drip inside (side)
Yeah...

CHORUS
You thought you broke me, left me to die after
Didn't know you created the Frankenstein monster
It's gonna be a shock, better get an airbag
Cause now I'm the big bad red flag
Yeah I'm the big bad red flag

Put out a warning sign
I'm the big bad red flag...

MADE FOR ME

VERSE 1
When I saw that picture with your arm around her
I felt like I'd been put 6 feet under
Couldn't look at it, didn't scroll away either
My world darkened, like a starless night in winter

So did you already change, your phone's wallpaper?
From a smiling picture of me, to a different one with her?
Was it that easy forgetting me, memories we made together?
Cause I'm still stuck at when, you said we were forever,

PRE CHORUS
Thought this break was just an interval
That you and I were inevitable
One day you'd text or you'd call
Say 'It's always been you ' after all

CHORUS
What am I supposed to do now?
Can someone please tell me how?
How can I let go of?
Someone I thought was made for me to love
How can I forget your sweet smile?
The way our fingers intertwined
Can someone please explain?
Cause we were supposed to be endgame

VERSE 2
Does she know about your nightmares? How to soothe you after?
The way you take your coffee, and which one's your favourite sweater?
Do you bring her ice cream? Just to make her feel better?
Hope it's not mint chocolate, cause that's my favourite flavor

I keep playing our favourite song, over and over
Imagining the way we danced, while your side of the bed gets colder
Do you ever think about me? About the plans we made together?
Cause I'm still haunting your street, hoping for a chance encounter

PRE CHORUS
Thought this break was just an interval
That you and I were inevitable
One day you'd text or you'd call
Say 'It's always been you ' after all

FINAL CHORUS
What am I supposed to do now?
Can someone please tell me how?
How can I let go of?
Someone I thought was made for me to love
How can I forget your sweet smile?
The way our fingers intertwined
How can I give him up?
Cause he was made just for me to love....

TELL ME IT'S OKAY

VERSE 1
Taking the same 5 o'clock bus home
Feel the exhaustion deep in my bones
Looking at the pretty Arizona sunset sky
Wishing I could escape the dreary gray of my life

What if I just want to be weak?
Give up halfway, leave it incomplete?
Why is it that when I tell them my fears,
They try to fix it 'stead of lending an ear?

CHORUS
And all they say is...
She can do it, she'll figure it out
A problem solver, she'll find a way out
Yeah she's got it, knows what it's about
But what if I say, that I just want out?

Tell me it's okay to fail every once in a while
That it's okay to cry and not force a smile
Don't need to have it together all of the time
And I'm worthy even when I don't shine

VERSE 2
It's not raining but my bus window is streaked
Not cold yet I'm sniffling in my seat
My shoulders slump from the weight of the world
I wish the earth would split and swallow me whole

Barely make it out of bed these days
Lately it feels like I have lost my way
But this truth is too scary to admit
Cause I'm supposed to be Miss Never Quits

CHORUS
And they always say...
You can do it, you'll figure it out
A problem solver, you'll find a way out
Yeah you've got it, know what it's about
But what if I say, that I just want out?

Tell me it's okay to fail every once in a while
That it's okay to cry and not force a smile
Don't need to have it together all of the time
And I'm worthy even when I don't shine

ENDING
Tell me you'll catch me when I fall
That you'll be with me through it all
Tell me it's okay to stop
And that you'll be there when I get off at the busstop

MY PERFECT EX-BOYFRIEND

VERSE 1
Been searching everywhere for my prince charming
Been looking everywhere for my happy ending
Trying in vain to find the puzzle piece that's missing

But you had already treated me like a queen
Got me flowers, opened doors, made me feel seen
You were my comfort, my safe space to lean

PRE CHORUS
Should have been so easy to fall in love with you
As easy as jumping on the count of two

CHORUS
To my perfect ex boyfriend
Sorry that I couldn't fall in love with you
Wasn't your face I wanted to wake up to
My perfect ex boyfriend
Sorry that I couldn't meet you halfway
I just knew you weren't my soulmate
You were perfect, so perfect
Oh but love is imperfect


VERSE 2
You were the greenest flag, a truly rare find
With gentle hands, warm smile and a heart that was so kind,
Oh but to you I was so stupidly colorblind

Now I'm out asking men for the bare minimum treatment
When you already wanted me to meet your parents
Wish I would have stayed with you in that moment

PRE CHORUS
Should have been so easy to fall in love with you
As easy as jumping on the count of two

CHORUS
To my perfect ex boyfriend
Sorry that I couldn't fall in love with you
Wasn't your face I could picture waking up to
My perfect ex boyfriend
Sorry that I couldn't meet you halfway
I just knew that you weren't my soulmate
You were perfect, so perfect
Oh but love is imperfect

Wish I had fallen in love with you
Then I wouldn't have felt so blue
Oh it's true that love's imperfect
But I know your story will be perfect

ALWAYS SEARCHING

VERSE 1
People say love finds you when you least expect it
But you've kept me waiting so long that I'm always looking for it
Everyday I wake up and hope today might be the day
When you waltz in and steal my heart away

PRE CHORUS
So tell me will I find you on a random evening walk?
Or see you waiting at my usual bus stop?
It feels like you're so close yet so far away from me
Like you're in the airplane flying by above me

CHORUS
When will I get to hold your hand?
Yeah hold your hand?
I wanna say I have a man
Yeah I have a man
I know you're out there so stop hiding
Enough with the hiding,
Can't you see how hard I'm searching?
Yeah I've been searching

VERSE 2
My friends so easily found their special someone
But you're as easy to find as a unicorn
My heart has been alone too long out at sea
Now it aches to have someone to share the scenery

PRE CHORUS
So hurry up and find me so we can adopt a cat!
And have fights about the settings on the thermostat
It feels like you're so close yet so far away from me
Like you're in the airplane flying by above me

CHORUS
When will I get to hold your hand?
Yeah hold your hand?
I wanna say I have a man
Yeah I have a man
I know you're out there so stop hiding
Enough with the hiding,
Can't you see how hard I'm searching?
Yeah I've been searching

You didn't come by to see me today,
So now I guess, I hope, tomorrow's the day?
