We're in between
Reality and fiction
Talking to me
Gaps in the conversation
I try to be
Someone more interesting
You say it doesn't matter anyway
What do you say?
I know these feelings we caught
Won't go away
And besides that's not what I want
But we're afraid
Of getting something started
If it won't last forever
Slow dancing in the dark
On this thin ice we made
You let me see your scars
I know we're not the same
But you are everything I want
We lay our scene
In fair Verona, we're not
S'posed to be seen
Next to each other, but you
Sit close to me
Our shoulders touch as I think
"I could stay here forever"
My skin is warm
My cheek are tired, and you
Branded my shoes
With permanent marker, so when
We have to part
I get to look at your art
Walking along beside me
Slow dancing in the dark
On this thin ice we made
You let me see your scars
I know we're not the same
I fell out of a plane
No way to stop my fall
You think you're not enough
Baby you've got it all
And you are everything I want
We're in between
I see your perfect smile
You had my heart
But I was in denial
Thought you were everything I want

Do you remember when we first met?
Right in the middle of a party
An island in a sea of bodies
Keeping each other stationary
And I don't wanna get you down
But I would stay up all night picking your brain
I hope you're telling me you feel the same
'Cause this open book shit really isn't easy for me
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
I mean it literally
I think I could cry next to you
I think I could wait for the sunrise with you
Feet touching concrete
Breeze drifting through our fingers
And I don't wanna get you down
But I would stay up all night picking your brain
I hope you're telling me you feel the same
'Cause this open book shit really isn't easy for me
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
I mean it literally
You feel like safety
I mean it literally
I'll stay next to you
Do my best for you
I'll lean my head on you
And I'll keep you safe
I'll stay next to you
Do my best for you
I'll lean my head on you
And I'll keep you safe
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
Please stay next to me
Bring me stability
You lean your head on me
And you feel like safety
I mean it literally
You feel like safety
I mean it literally
I mean it literally

Trading places
I was with you not long ago
Bad sensations
Showing up in the undertones
Maybe you haven't found the place that you're meant to be
Maybe you haven't found the person you're meant to see
Is this happening?
Am I the reason that you're writing right now?
I think that I'm being selfish
Maybe it's better if I leave you alone
You know I actually give a shit
In a perfect world
I'd be able to keep you close
Letting go
Wouldn't be the option I chose
Maybe we're headed for a future sublime and clean
Maybe we're gonna be the people we're meant to be
I'll meet you there
Am I the reason that you're writing right now?
I think that I'm being selfish
Maybe it's better if I leave you alone
You know I actually give a shit
Am I the reason that you're writing right now?
I think that I'm being selfish
Maybe it's better if I leave you alone
You know I actually give a shit
Oh, I keep a ribbon around my neck
To make sure that I won't forget
Every awful thing that I said
And every thought that I won't admit
I keep a ribbon around my neck
To make sure that I won't forget
Every awful thing that I said
And every thought that I won't-
I wanna be a better person
Wanna be a better person now
Wanna be a better person
Wanna be a better person
Person
Am I the reason that you're writing right now?
I think that I'm being selfish
Maybe it's better if I leave you alone
You know I actually give a shit
Am I the reason that you're writing right now?
I think that I'm being selfish
Maybe it's better if I leave you alone
You know I actually give a shit
You know I actually give a shit
You know I actually give a shit
You know I actually give a shit

You Need to Get Help
03:05

|
I'm sorry
For ever letting you in
No power
Could cut through all the poison
You hate me
And masquerade affection
Debate me
You're fighting your reflection
You're not very nice, and a little unwell
You're lying to me, and to everyone else
Still you laugh in my face, say "you need to get help," and
You take it upon yourself
Yeah you take it upon yourself
I'm going
To therapy, unlike you
Don't expect
A girlfriend to solve my issues
But now every time I think that I am somehow getting over it
I see your face again and I feel tightness up inside my chest
I'm freaked out
'Cause I see
Narcissists
Behind me
Maybe it's best if I stay alone
You're not very nice, and a little unwell
You're lying to me, and to everyone else
Still you laugh in my face, say "you need to get help," and
You take it upon yourself
You're not very nice, and a little unwell
You're lying to me, and to everyone else
Still you laugh in my face, say "you need to get help," and
You take it upon yourself
Yeah you take it upon yourself
You need to get help
You're not very nice, and a little unwell
You're lying to me, and to everyone else
Still you laugh in my face, say "you need to get help," and
You take it upon yourself
You're not very nice, and a little unwell
You're lying to me, and to everyone else
Still you laugh in my face, say "you need to get help," and
You take it upon yourself
Yeah you take it upon yourself
Yeah you take it upon yourself

Mr. Blues
I can tell you why
You don't see me under clear skies
The storms have come and taken you away
Just because
I need time alone
Can't always drive up to your home
It doesn't mean that I don't wanna stay
If you can't see that
If you can't see me
I don't know what else there is to do
If I don't make
You happy
I think we've reached the point where this is through
Mr. Blues
Mr. Blues
Many days were grey
But when the storm clouds blew away
There was no place that I would rather be
The right place
And right time for me
You made me feel like you could be
The person I was always waiting for
If you can't see that
If you can't see me
I don't know what else there is to do
If I don't make
You happy
I think we've reached the point where this is through
Mr. Blues
I never
Wanted it to end
Wanted to wake up in your bed
From what you told me, you wanted that too
Mr. Blue
My feelings were true
I wanted to grow old with you
But letting go was best for both of us
If you can't see that
If you can't see me
If I don't make
You happy
I'll go today
Even though you'd stay forever
Mr. Blues

While compared to Clairo, Taylor Swift, and Hayley Williams, her sound is hard to pin down. But her consistent and impressive lyrics and vocal are uniquely her.
