Last Kisses 02:23
I bit my lip in a daydream spoke up in a memory Nobody's what they seem I’ll lie if you let me I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling Your head down Look around You won’t find me You want it I got it But don’t mind me Alright In the light You can’t buy me Goin up You can come And you’ll find we Started out like a tall tale Thought we all knew the ending Tripping over the small scale Didn’t know I was pretending I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling I’m not sleeping just staring at the ceiling Your head down Look around You won’t find me You want it I got it But don’t mind me Alright In the light You can’t buy me Goin up You can come And you’ll find we started holding tighter gripping tender kissing with intention when you mention that our last for now is coming soon if I had given you last kisses from the first and through the middle there’d be little I could do

Dips 04:02
the yellow sun is setting into mellow purple blues and all the while something bout the water makes me melt it’s getting hotter now and I'll keep it slow Oh I know know know know There’s salt on my lips Your hands on my hips And I’m taking sips from the ocean I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips the salt at your hips 'cause you’re takin dips in the water Dum da da dum da da dum da da ride the rhythm of the waves it is easy the current under us is busy tugging at our feet we're floating breezy out to sea come with me me me me me There’s salt on my lips Your hands on my hips And I’m taking sips from the ocean I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips the salt at your hips 'cause you’re takin dips in the water my fingertips are turning into raisins and too much sugar makes you sick but for now let's take a dip There’s salt on my lips Your hands on my hips And I’m taking sips from the ocean I’ll keep kissing the sweet in your lips the salt at your hips 'cause you’re takin dips in the water

Famous 02:56
I’m not getting any taller so i better settle into these shoes I have no idea what I’m doing i just hope i find something to amuse me soon And I’m not too sad i just don’t know what to do If i die before i’m famous what’s the point of anything I’m too sentimental to get rid of my old gumball ring I bought an ugly sweater cause i want something to lose I wanna buy a muffin but i don’t have an excuse If i die before i’m famous what’s the point of anything I’m too sentimental to get rid of my old gumball ring Only clever thoughts can go in my fancy notebook I imitate your tiny writing cause it makes you look intelligent If i die before i’m famous what’s the point of anything I’m too sentimental to get rid of my old gumball ring I am only calling to say it’s not hard to be by myself

Time to Fall 01:54
Minuscule paintings of thumbtack dreams Clutter my brain walls Closing in on me / Ayayayay aha-aha-aha Pick a number one to infinity / Ha ha ha ha ha You choose right you’ll love for eternity / Ha ha ha You will see La la la la la la laaaa Time to fall back in love / Da da da da da da With myself / Lalalala Lalalala lalalalala Eyes will crawl I will save them Top shelf La Na na na na na Somebody told ya you look like Dionysus God of wine and theatre and religious ecstasy You wore a crown of ivy held a gilded drinking cup All dressed up in a perception of a girl holding a drink La la la la la la laaaa Time to fall back in love / Da da da da da da With myself / Lalalala Lalalala lalalalala Eyes will crawl I will save them Top shelf Di di di di di Di di di di di Di di di di di A love of mine-a-once upon a time Sent a message down my spine To show me my intention I’ve invented my detention / aha-aha-aha Time to fall back in love With myself Eyes will crawl I will save them Top shelf
