VERSE:
Rise and shine, what can I say blue skies
The sun in you is giving me life
Missing in action, lost in disguise
Everyone is wondering, where am I?

I’ve been filling my cup a venti
I’m living single, holding just me
But tell me your name, mister friendly
And if your lucky, I’ll call you maybe


CHORUS:
I’m the best part of a breath of fresh air
I’m the warm and fuzzy weaved in cashmere
And when the world wants to drive me crazy
I’ll never leave a room, stripped down and bare
I promise to lift myself and be there for me


VERSE:
I’m not achy the way I use to be
I can feel the bass of my heartbeat
Oh, you want to try and test me
My starting point is hopeful and not bleak

My smile is opening every door
Watch out world, I’m a thriving cyclone
Haters want to dim my light, say more
Uh, I’m busy, I can’t pick up the phone


CHORUS: 1x

BE THERE FOR ME

VERSE:
I didn’t know, I was waiting for you
You walked in, and I was glad to see you
Your ring finger says your off limits
I can’t lie, I wish things were different

I’m reeling guys in and throwing them back
Dating season is a heart attack
You make the hairs on my arms stand up
I want a drink of you, four or five cups

CHORUS:
I’ll be candid,
In another life, I’d pull up like a bandit
I know what I want and I’ll grab it
So, your girl better not take you for granted
And leave you stranded

VERSE:
Wanting you is my private exhibit
The seed is planted, I know your in it
It’s a losing game, you can say less
I don’t need you but I want you, reckless

I try to avoid you when I’m awake
In a blue flame, I can’t catch a break
Whatever I say, it’s true, it’s you
Yeah, taken looks real good on you, come through

CHORUS: 1x

STRANDED

VERSE:
When you kissed my lips, I know it wasn’t goodbye
I have no doubt, I’m the apple of your eye
We promised honesty and to never lie
I messed up, your gone and I low-key want to cry

I’m so lonely, the walls echo that I’m alone
Without you here with me, every room feels so cold
It makes me crazy, us playing tag on the phone
I’m whining and yeah to me, it’s getting old

PRE-CHORUS:
I just want my man, it’s as simple as that


CHORUS:
I’m waiting for you wanting you
I’m hot, no I can’t keep my cool
I can’t get you out of my head
Lying in this california king bed

Come and say, what you want to do
Don’t hesitate wishes come true
I can’t get you out of my head
Lying in this california king bed


VERSE:
I want to take my heartache off of standby
The blame is on me, I should’ve took the last flight
I could have been greedy and told my boss bye
And be wrapped up in your arms before moonlight

I’m so tired, my eyes are on snooze all night long
I’m craving skin and you in Hermès cologne
And wearing your tee-shirt listening to our song
When I see you, your going to want to stay home


PRE-CHORUS:

CHORUS

CALIFORNIA KING BED

VERSE:
Starring at the ceiling, I can’t move
I’m down, my fears have nothing to prove
Alone, I wanted a quiet Sunday afternoon
Now, I wish I was cursing in a crowded room

My stain glass windows wanna pick a fight
The sun in my eyes flash, I’m back in time
My memories want to speak their minds
No red flags or excuse-me to be kind

PRE-CHORUS:
PTSD crashing around me, I’m not fine
Then you walk-in at just the right time.

CHORUS:
Holding me,
You carry me into the moons lullaby
Resting your head right next to mine
We’re together under the night sky
The stars sparkle bright
The constellations are in flight
You love me, I love my life
And your holding me,
We’re together under the night sky

VERSE:
I’m lying in bed, weak in the knees
My body is shaking I can barely breathe
Alone, no one to hear me when I scream
Somebody pinch me, this must be a bad dream

I’m feeling hot, thirsty on dry land
No concrete under my feet, just quick sand
I’m dizzy, I’m swirling my heads in the cloud
Life is testing me, wrecking me, so what now?


PRE-CHORUS: 1x

CHORUS: 1x

NIGHT SKY

VERSE:
I closed the door and tossed the keys to my heart
A time or two, I let my body starve
I didn’t see my phone messages in the dark
Saying another date would be nice, with charm

I guess those guys weren’t the one’s meant for me
I bet, I spared myself a bill for therapy
But I don’t want to live life alone, anymore
Or be a woman afraid of the unknown, therefore

CHORUS:
I’ll take the deception, rehearsed lines and count to ten
Untether my anger from the cheer captain
I’ll memorize the empty in my eyes, from back then
And swear, to take a chance at love again
I’ll take one last look at who I left behind, an old friend
Bandage my wounds when revenge tries to creep, back in
I’ll silence the doubts taunting me, from back then
And swear, to take a chance at love again

VERSE:
The world opens up when you least expect it
With the same view, in a different colour hue
It’s crazy the feels from optimism, I admit
I want to immerse myself with the old but new

I heard a tale, you’ll know when something is yours
Your desire charts the way even the detours
So you won’t need a safety net, not anymore
Or always want more and more to soar, therefore

CHORUS: 1x

LOVE AGAIN

VERSE:
It’s as complicated as a train wreck
My confidence may come off as aggressive
I want a reason to dress up, spend my pay cheque
And look into your eyes, make me obsessive

I’m not the type of girl to play around with fate
I can’t think of a worst way to get to heaven
I’m feeling greedy, thirsty, I need a playmate
In less than 5 seconds, l’m gonna have my leverage

PRE-CHORUS:
I want you to be my last mission
It’s critical and the plot just thickened

CHORUS:
Crash, I’m not sorry- your body is my collision
I’m feeling clumsy, your arms gave me double vision
Let me take a minute to introduce myself to you
Hey boy, I’m the girl you’ve been missing
Oh, I’m so dizzy, I need your supervision
You wanna sit with me for a few long minutes
Call me anytime and I’ll get back to you
No, I’m not sorry, your body is my collision

VERSE:
If I let you out of sight, I’ll lose my bet
Never seeing you again, I couldn’t digest it
I’ll have nightmares, break out in a cold sweat
With the odds against me, I won’t risk it

You can anticipate, I want you to be my date
It’s not a superstition, baby you’re a vision
I wanna talk with you all night, hibernate
And let the world pass us by, release our inhibitions

PRE-CHORUS: 1x

CHORUS: 1x

COLLISION

VERSE:
Dark jeans, tee-shirt and a million dollar smile
Your smart, handsome bring you to my mama type
The kind of man, I’d get lost with in the wild
Off the grid, with only two sticks and a knife

You were the love, in the story of all my dreams
We would swing together on the porch at eighty
Now, your breaking my heart into smithereens
Saying, things aren’t working between you and me

PRE-CHORUS:
Passion in your eyes, you wanna go
Like a thief in the daylight , XOXO

CHORUS:
So what are you waiting for?
Do you think I’m gonna cry lying on the floor
Or get on one knee and plead, baby we are meant to be
You wanna switch things up and re-explore
Every friendship type metaphor
But your offer isn’t good enough for me
If you wanna leave, you can leave
So what are you waiting for?

VERSE:
I was charmed, smitten, boy you had me wooed
You called me your wife and flowers filled the room
My friends tried to tell me, you had me fooled
Your not a stand-up guy, I’m in deep too soon

You were the cherry on my chocolate ice cream
We would talk about traveling miles to Bali
Now, your sitting here painting a dramatic scene
Of how bad you feel and you’re very sorry


PRE-CHORUS: 1x

CHORUS: 1x

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

VERSE:
It would be so easy to lose control
And delete all your pictures from my phone
Throw your clothes out on the front porch
Light up my hopes with a blowtorch

I could have let your words break me down
And hide under a blanket making no sound
Or spiral into a black whole
Let my tears build a fortress in my soul

PRE-CHORUS:
You were never my beginning
And you won’t be my end
(No, no, no, oh no)

CHORUS:
I still want me, even if you don’t
The sun is just as bright, as it can be
Even though there’s hurt in my heart
I still need me, even if you don’t
The air invigorates me, I can breathe
Even though your betrayal left me scarred
I still love me, even if you won’t

VERSE:
It would be so easy to let sadness win
Turn on myself because that how it’s been
Shatter my makeup on the floor
So I don’t feel damn gorgeous anymore

I could have let your choice make me small
Cradle myself into the tiniest ball
Shrinking my space in this big world
And no one would know I was your girl


PRE-CHORUS: 1x

CHORUS: 1x

I STILL LOVE ME
