Perfect Love
04:50
|
|||
Life is so elusive lately
Dreams are clouded, future's hazy
Negotiating with the stars above
I am dreaming of a perfect love
Why do I dwell upon something that may never come?
Why do I spend all this time hoping that you will arrive?
Perfect love, perfect love
My emotions are the ocean
Rising, falling, ever flowing
My thoughts are a whirlwind lately
Why does it drive me so crazy?
Why do I dwell upon something that may never come?
Why do I spend all this time hoping that you will arrive?
Perfect love, perfect love
Perfect love, perfect love
Perfect love, perfect love
Life is so elusive lately

Can't Keep Me
05:21
|

Keep hoping that the sun will shine
That the blanket of clouds will resign
Can't keep me from wishing
Can't separate my thinking from fantasy
In these moments when we're floating in ecstasy
Can't keep me from wishing that the sun will come out and cast some light upon my doubt
Can't keep me from falling now
Can't keep me from wanting to show you how
I want to keep your love around
I want to know you are ready
Keep waiting for this tension to subside
Don't wanna feel the need to hide
I wanna let our love shine out
Keep waiting for the sky to clear
To light the shadows 'til my worries disappear
The truth is hard to swallow
But we have to accept that we might need to let go
Can't keep me from falling now
Can't keep me from wanting to show you how
I want to keep your love around
I want to know you are ready
Can't keep me from giving in
Can't keep me from wanting to take you in
Breathe you in again and again
I want our love to be steady
(instrumental)
Can't keep me from falling now
Can't keep me from wanting to show you how
I want to keep your love around
I want to know you are ready
Can't keep me from giving in
Can't keep me from wanting to take you in
Breathe you in again and again
I want our love to be steady

Stupid Stars
04:34
|

I've got these stupid stars hanging in my eyes
I try to keep my heart at bay, but it takes me by surprise
I'm so in love, and I don't know what to do
when my mind is set on you
I've got this foolish heart, and I wear it on my sleeve
I try to keep my head on straight when you're lookin' at me
I'm so in love, and I don't know what to do
I'm so in love and my mind is set on you
I don't know what to do, 'cause I don't wanna be a fool
I've got a heavy weight hanging on my chest
Why don't you take me in with you and we'll lay down to rest
I've got my mind on watch and my feelings in check
But when you pull me close to you, I turn into a wreck
I'm so in love and I don't wanna be a fool for you
And I don't know what to do
When my mind is set on you
And I don't know what to do
And I don't wanna be a fool for you
I'm so in love
And I don't know what to do
I'm so in love
And my mind is set on you
I'm so in love
And I don't know what to do
I'm so in love
And my mind is set on you
You
You
I've got these stupid stars hanging in my eyes

My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
Love you
Taking the time to let it all settle
We need some time ’til it all feels better
But please give me your mind so we can open up a little
‘Cause we’re holding onto questions that are looking for some answers
You know it’s been a minute since I held you
It’s been so long I almost forgot how it felt to
Look in your eyes, I realize I feel compelled to
Take your hand in mine, dear friend, I want to help you
Do you love yourself enough to love me?
Do you have a reason to wake up in the morning?
Do you want me as a witness to your consciousness evolving,
Or will you let the fears into the circle we’ve been growing?
My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
Love you
Taking the care to put our words out there
Why can’t you pull me closer in those moments when you’re so scared?
Why can’t I be someone to tuck you in my shoulder
While we talk about the things we want to do when we’re older?
You mean far more than a fling, but I don’t need a diamond ring
I just need something in between, though I don’t know what that means
I’m sorry that it’s confusing; nobody said that love was easy
But I can’t go on pretending that everything was nothing
‘Cause baby, when we’re at it, I know you feel the magic
And I use that as my compass to express a definite yes
I know he’s in my life still, and we don’t know if life will
Ever live up to this ideal, but please just know that I still
My heart is on fire
To meet my desires
(But please just know that I still)
My thirst is alive
From the embers lit inside
(But please just know that I still)
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
I still, I still
But please just know that I still
Love you
But please just know that I still
Love you
But please just know that I still
Love you
Love you
Love you
But please just know that I still

Remember Me
04:37
|
|||
Yesterday's pain is tomorrow's gain
But today we're separating the bond we've been creating
Too many things were wrong, and now you're just a sad song
No more memories are made, while the old ones will fade
How do I set this love aside,
And go on without you in my life?
Please, remember me
We can't see the future; we can't see each other
While we're crying our eyes out, you said I should go now
You used to be a lover, but now that's over
Today you are a stranger; I won't see you later
What can I do to change your mind?
What I would give to have more time
Please, remember me
Please, remember me
Please
Yesterday's feelings are tomorrow's healing
Today's somber hour transformed into power
Yesterday's hurt is for better or worse
Well, the choice is ours to make, what to do with this heartache
I hope that it all will be alright
And that you find some peace of mind
Please, remember me
Please
Please

I said in your ear amidst sweat and sighs,
"Nobody makes me feel the way you do."
Maybe I didn't say it loud enough to demonstrate what you're worth
And now I chew on my confession
Alone in a place we once came together
And carelessly vowed a commitment to each other
Here where I lie is where you said,
"Maybe someday,"
And I swallowed your promising words too eagerly
Too easily
And was drunk
On the empty bottle of good intentions
I think about you more than I like to admit
It’s hard to say if I’d rather remember or forget
Your sweet face, your warm hands
Your deep sighs late in the night
Your embrace, your sweet taste
And the way your eyes gaze back at mine
I think about the way we would make time disappear
And I imagine how it would be if you were still here
We came together, made our vows
That it would work to be untethered
We slipped up, we were drunk
On the empty bottle of good intentions
I think about you
Much more than I'd like to
And it's really hurting my soul
Because I picture myself beside you
And no we didn't have the frame
Didn't share the same name
It's no longer ideal
But I never had to question your intentions
I know that they were real
The gentle kisses you gave me
Enclave me in a dream state
You adorned, you amazed me
'Cause we were joined like a seam
And I hate we addressed everything on the table
Still wanna see your sweet face if I'm able
But our love has weathered
Together, we are untethered
Just be patient; it won’t hurt so much in a little while
But months go by, and I still look for your smile
Precious times that were yours and mine
Give way to ruthless change
In my solitude, I try to grasp
That what’s best for you isn’t me
It isn’t me
Naked
But it's not our bodies exposed
It's our souls
Continuously intertwining
Until it burns the exact same

Boxes (feat. Kumanji)
04:11
|

Your love has limits; mine is all over the place
My heart is wild, and yours is tame
Your disposition is making me insane
‘Cause I know you want me, but your heart’s in chains
You’re living in boxes; you’ve got rules to follow
All these conventions are making your heart small
We’ve gotta decolonize sex, deconstruct these walls
We’ve gotta redefine and open up our love
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
I saw you last night; you came and visited me
You held me just like I wanted, but it was just a dream
And after making love, making love so sweet
You said “I don’t think we should do this in reality”
We’re living in boxes; we’ve got rules to follow
All these conventions are making our hearts small
We’ve gotta decolonize sex, deconstruct these walls
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
We're living in boxes, boxes
We're living in boxes, boxes
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
We're living in boxes, boxes
We're living in boxes, boxes
Ever since I was young, I’ve had a difficult time
Playing by the rules and making up my mind
And though I’ve made mistakes, I’ve come to learn
That there’s nothing wrong with being in love with more than one
Tear down the boxes; No more rules to follow
No more conventions making our hearts small
We’ve gotta decolonize sex, deconstruct these walls
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
Tear down the boxes; No more rules to follow
No more conventions making our hearts small
We’ve gotta decolonize sex, deconstruct these walls
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
We gotta redefine and open up our love
(Tear down the boxes, boxes
Tear down the boxes, boxes)
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
We gotta redefine and open up our love
I said we gotta redefine and open up our love
We gotta redefine and open up our love
