THE WILD BOY
"...Of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny"
"...I know he's crazy but he's the one I want"
"...Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy
He was chaos, he was revelry"
"...Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun and
Even my daddy just loves him"
SO HIGH SCHOOL
"Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
It's just a game, but really
I'm bettin' on all three for us two
No one's ever had me, not like you
It's true, swear, scouts honor
You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her
Brand new, full-throttle
You already know, babe"
GUILTY AS SIN?
"What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me
Is actually what's holy?
If long suffering propriety
Is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me
So stunningly
I choose you and me
... Religiously"
THE KING OF MY HEART
"Is this the end of all the endings?
My broken bones are mending
With all these nights we're spending
Up on the roof with a school girl crush
Drinking beer out of plastic cups
Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff
Baby, all at once, this is enough
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul"
DELICATE
"Third floor on the West Side, me and you
Handsome, you're a mansion with a view
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Long night with your hands up in my hair
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share"
SO IT GOES...
"I'm so chill, but you make me jealous
But I got your heart
Skipping, skipping when I'm gone
'Cause we breakdown a little
But when I get you alone, it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it"
THE WINE BOY
"The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was
The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon"
MAROON
"Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend
"How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" You say
"Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how"
I see you every day now
And I chose you
The one I was dancin' with
In New York, no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was..."
SNOW ON THE BEACH
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can't stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
I'm unglued, thanks to you
And it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
You wanting me tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down, no sound, it's all around
TLOML
"This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like white wine
Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?"
"And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?"
