Ooh, baby I’ve never felt this way What do I do, baby? You feel so far away And no matter what I do (I do, I do) Can’t get close enough to you (To you, to you) But your eyes give you away (Away, away) Can’t you tell me to stay? Do you love me? Or are you just terrified of being lonely? Do you need me? Or do you need to be needed by someone? Ha ah, ah ah ah Ha ah, ah ah ah Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh, ooh oooh Ooh, keep it steady Like you’ll never tell Bet you think you’re foolin’ me, honey Like everybody else, mmm And no matter what I do (I do, I do) Can’t get close enough to you (To you, to you) But your eyes give you away (Away, away) Can’t you tell me to stay? Do you love me? Or are you just terrified of being lonely? Do you need me? Or do you need to be needed by someone? Oh, love’s not a delicate flame Unless it wasn’t built to last in the first place Oh, love’s not a delicate flame Unless it wasn’t built to last in the first place Do you love me? Are you terrified of being happy? Do you need me? Or do you need to be needed by someone? Do you love me? Or are you just terrified of being lonely? Do you need me? Or do you need to be needed by someone? Ha ah, ah ah ah Ha ah, ah ah ah Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh, ooh oooh Ha ah, ah ah ah Ha ah, ah ah ah Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh, ooh oooh Do you, do you love me? Do you, do you, do you want me? Do you, do you, do you need me? Do I need you? Do you, do you, do you want me? Do you, do you, do you need me? Do I need you?

A Safe Place 03:58
lyrics

Thunder and the lightning They crafted this plan together To make sure that I fall more and more in love To this weather No feeling past could matter anymore When I feel this now And we observe our friends We see them come And watch them go Through the windows From the inside of this place we call our home Under polyester covers Keep me safe from all the noise Stay close 'til we run out of time And I’ll whisper when you’re not feeling right "Baby, trust me They can’t touch you and me." Hands touched by no mistake Felt a head rush then my heart didn’t ache Baby, trust me I see nothing but you Just you, just you I’ve been seeing more of you And when you’re not around I retrace all the familiar wrinkles when you frown The lights are dimming now and I can feel My breathing slow Mmmm And so your face appears And then your hands And then your body Feeling fine, I close my eyes I hear you say you want me All alone in my room Don’t you love how no one knows what we do? Stay close 'til we run out of time And I’ll whisper when you’re not feeling right "Baby, trust me They can’t touch you and me." Hands touched by no mistake Felt a head rush then my heart didn’t ache Baby, trust me I see nothing but you Just you, just you

Blame It On Me 03:16
lyrics

I could ask you to stay with me for my own sake But I don’t think that way I could tell you to stay with me for your own sake But I’m not that brave Tell me what you want from me Won’t you tell me what you want from me? Tell me what I need to be Tell me what I need to be, ah ah Tell me what you want from me Won’t you tell me what you want from me? Tell me what I need to be, ah ah I am holding you too tightly, I can see With my hands around your neck, how can you breathe? And I never point at you It’s always me Blame it on me now, ah ah ah ah Had a dream that I left in the night You ran after me We collapsed in the trees I loved the way you looked making a scene First time you begged for me Can I tell you what I want from you? Tell you what I want from you Let me tell you whatcha need to do Tell you whatcha need to do, ah ah Tell you what I want from you Can I tell you what I want from you? Let me tell you whatcha need to do, ah ah I am holding you too tightly, I can see With my hands around your neck, how can you breathe? And I never point at you It’s always me Blame it on me now, ah ah ah ah You are holding me too tightly now, baby When you’re standing in my view, how can I see? Still I never point at you It’s always me Blame it on me now, ah ah ah ah Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh When stars light up The evening sky I wish on them to be what you like But I forgot to yesterday Instead I slept til morning came 'Til morning came I am holding you too tightly, I can see With my hands around your neck, how can you breathe? Still I never point at you It’s always me Blame it on me now, ah ah ah ah You are holding me too tightly now, baby When you’re standing in my view, how can I see? No, I’ll never point at you It’s always me Blame it on me now, ah ah ah ah

Goodbye 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Staring at my mouth like you’re waiting But I’ve got nothing to tell you Staring at my hands expecting something I’ve got nothing to give you And you hold your head so high In case of any passersby Showed up right at the wrong time Our fate was sealed My tongue was tied Now we’re alone In the dead of the night I ask myself Could you ever be mine? But I’m a wreck I won’t take up your time It went to shit When you kissed me goodbye In over my head Won’t you tell me how to be your perfect someone? Said I’d show you me My ego said, “Just lie and maybe he won’t run.” You hold your head so high Enchanting all the passersby Felt your hand against my spine Our fate was sealed My tongue was tied Now we’re alone In the dead of the night I ask myself Could you ever be mine? But I’m a wreck I won’t take up your time It went to shit When you kissed me Baby if you’ve gotta go Promise you won’t stay away for too long Guess you’ve really gotta go Promise you won’t stay away for too long Baby if you’ve really got to go Please don’t stay away for too long Guess you’re really gonna go Just say you won’t stay away for too long For too long ‘cause Now we’re alone In the dead of the night I ask myself Could you ever be mine? But I’m a wreck I won’t take up your time It went to shit When you kissed me goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

Old Habits 04:30
lyrics

I don’t need you to call and ask about my week You don’t need me to remind you you’ve got to eat But I gravitate toward these things each time we speak I guess you could say taking care of you was my thing I was reaching for you Skinned my knees when my legs gave out All those clothes put away In a box that still smells like your house Your mouth tells lies but your eyes stay true We did some things that we can’t undo The phone line cuts in and out of you I-I feel my old, old habits creeping in I feel my old, old habits pulling me toward sin You are my worst habit You are my worst habit And when I see you come around again Our eyes won’t meet It’s too much to pretend That the ice where we stood didn’t melt into blue That the swim wasn’t worth getting salt in the wound I feel my old, old habits Leaving me with you They’re leaving me with you Break me from the habit Break me from the habit
