SIGNS
VERSE 1
Stumbled upon your perfume on a random Tuesday morning
Like the jogger's park knew it was you my daydream was starring
Another day, was at a cafe and I heard your name being spoken
Just the sound of it made the butterflies in my stomach reawaken
PRE CHORUS
These synchronicities are driving me crazy
What's crazier is that I keep a count of them daily
CHORUS
Like...
OMG wait that number's his birthdate!
Oh damn I just saw his car make
That must mean something right?
Like the universe giving me the green light!
I guess that's a sign, a sign that you're mine?
That the stars will align,
It's gotta be a sign meant for me,
That we are meant to be !
VERSE 2
What are odds that the song that's your current favorite
Is the first one to play when I hit shuffle on my playlist
No going back, I've fallen for you so deeply
That you've got me checking our zodiac compatibility
PRE CHORUS
These synchronicities are driving me crazy
What's crazier is that I keep a count of them daily
CHORUS
Like...
Oh wait that number's his birthdate!
Damn I just saw his car make
That must mean something right?

I guess that's a sign, a sign that you're mine?
That the stars will align,
It's gotta be a sign, a sign meant for me,
That we're meant to be !
WATCH ME FLY
Verse 1
Day in and day out I feel it's presence
At times like an unscratchable itch
At times like a gaping hole that can't be stitched
So I tried, I tried so hard to reason with it
Ooh I tried, I tried in vain to smother it
This dream is a storm, can't be restrained
Oooh a volcano that won't be contained
RAP
Then I dove right in without thinking
I'm gonna answer my heart's calling
CHORUS
Everyone says it's stupid, says it's reckless
Maybe so, but it's not hopeless
Somehow I just know that when I take off into the sky
I won't fall but I will soar high, oh yeah soar high
Verse 2
Now this one truth rings through and through
I can't step back from this precipice
Can't resist the call of the abyss
Heart is pounding but not out of fear
Excitement has kicked it into the seventh gear
Oh I want, I ache to jump into the void
My feet are so pumped, so ready, bent and coiled
RAP
Then I dove right in without thinking
I'm gonna answer my heart's calling
CHORUS
Everyone says it's stupid, says it's reckless
Maybe so, but it's not hopeless
Somehow I just know that when I take off into the sky
I won't fall but I will soar high, oh yeah soar high
RAP
Now do you see my grit, my pain, intensity
The universe will be forced to listen to me
Not the naive little girl anymore
Your fiery lessons have changed my core
Like a phoenix from the ashes I have emerged
And won't stop until I get what I deserve
FINAL CHORUS
People say that it's stupid, say it's reckless
I'll prove it and leave them wordless
Keep watching as I take off into the sky
And spread my wings to fly so high, yeah so high
JUST A DREAM
Verse1
You came to me in a dream
With kind eyes and a frame so tall
No need to even say anything
My thoughts in you were pre installed
Your hands met the curve of my waist
Like it was their resting place
Lips purposefully met mine
The kiss felt like a prayer at a shrine
And your eyes, oh your eyes looked at me with such devotion
As if the sightless finally had vision
And you loved me with such ease and clarity
That I shuddered to return to reality
CHORUS
So I have this one complaint
Why are you nowhere? Why do you disappear
whenever I open my eyes?
Oh Why can't I wake up? Why can't you be there?
Right by my bedside?
Don't you think it's almost cruel?
To be dreamlike? Like someone mythical?
Don't you think it's so unfair?
That my real life can't even compare?
Verse2
so let's go Inhale, exhale,
And repeat one more time,
Let's go Breathe in, breathe out
That's how our hearts intertwined
No overthinking, or second guessing
I was the piece that was missing
You chose me time and again
And erased the wounds dealt by other men
I'd never had, never had, anyone see me oh so clearly
And want the messy parts and the dreary
But you said you'd never seen someone even as beautiful
And falling for me was inevitable
CHORUS
Still I have this one complaint
Why are you nowhere? Why do you disappear
whenever I open my eyes?
Oh Why can't I wake up? Why can't you be there?
Right by my bedside?
Don't you think it's almost cruel?
To be dreamlike? Like someone mythical?
Don't you think it's so unfair?
That my real life can't even compare?
BRIDGE
So please, pretty please
stop teasing me
I beg of you
Come out of my dreams
How much longer will you remain a fantasy?
Come and be a part of my open eyed day dreams!
FINAL CHORUS
So this is my only complaint
Why are you nowhere? Why do you disappear
whenever I open my eyes?
Why can't you be the one to wake me up?
And make me believe otherwise?
Don't you think it's almost cruel?
To be so far? Like a universe in parallel?
Don't you think it's so unfair?
That my real life can't even compare?
So please, pretty please,
Come out of my dreams
So please, I plead
Just come and be with me.

STILL WAITING
Verse 1
As long as he says he loves me
Know I'll never walk away
I know that you might wanna judge me
But know there's nothing you can say
I'll take every hit, every hurt, every stab and every punch
To my gut, to my trust, and I won't even complain once
CHORUS
Because even though he gives me scars
Because even though he hurts my heart
He knows he can kiss it away
And that's enough for me to stay
Because whenever he pulls me close
Because whenever he cups my face
He knows he can numb it all
And now there's more no pain to trace
Verse 2
My love for him is so profound
It'll take a lifetime for me to say
Maybe one day I will voice it out
But he never had anything to say
Yet I'll comfort him, stand by him, attend to his every whim
I think there's still hope for us, cuz in me he can always trust.
CHORUS
I know, even though he gives me scars,
I know, even though he hurts my heart,
He can melt me with one smile,
And now I'll stay a longer while.
Because whenever he pulls me close
Because whenever he cups my face
He knows he can numb it all
And now there's more no pain to trace
Verse 3
But at times, I truly wonder
If I even matter at all
Would it pain him to see me hurt
This weight has almost made me blurt
Yet I cannot leave, cannot grieve, cuz he has this hold on me
So I pray, and I hope, for the strength to love and cope
FINAL CHORUS
And I know, one day I will have it all
I know, one day he will be my wall
And I will finally rest,
There's definitely an end to this test
I hope, one day when he pulls me close
I hope, one day when he cups my face
He won't push me far again
And in his heart I'll have a place...
FOOL
Verse1
Who is he? what's his name?
I gotta know everything
Who is he? What's his name?
My heart's getting restless....
Eyes keep darting back to him
So worried I'll look like a fool
But now it's just too late to care
Cause I'm feeling reckless
CHORUS
Oh but wait wait, I can't foolishly fall in love, love
But then he glances here and gives a smile, smile
And now there's only one truth
I'll be the biggest fool in the world
My heart's betrayed me
I can no longer trust it to by my own
When he called my name
It jumped out my chest and found a new home
Verse 2
Now all I see, all I hear
Is his face and deep deep voice
I know his name, who his friends are too
I think I'm a goner
Every time he smiles at me,
I start to get a lil tipsy
I worry if he even cares
Cuz he's just so damn special
CHORUS
So wait wait, I won't foolishly fall in love, love
But then he glances here and gives a smile smile
And now there's only one truth
I'll be the biggest fool in the world
My heart's betrayed me
I can no longer trust it to by my own
When he called my name
It jumped out my chest and found a new home
BRIDGE
Ohhh but don't you see? How unfair it is?
For you to live in each and every thought of mine
It doesn't take much, just a word or text from you
Can cloud my inhibitions more than wine
CHORUS
So stop stop, I shouldn't foolishly fall in love, love
But everytime I see his goddamn smile smile
I know there's only one truth
I am the biggest fool in the world
My heart's betrayed me
I can no longer trust it to by my own
When he called my name
It jumped out my chest and found a new home
