november
lyrics
​
how's it feel to be at home?
i don't know
how's it feel to be alone?
i don't know
​
i feel you by my side
your tattered arms open wide
thought maybe it's a trick of the light
could you stay by me through the night?
​
how do you know how it feels?
'cause i don't think i've ever known
how do you know how to let go?
his glasses still lie on my floor
​
can't put my finger on this
lived my life in ignorance infatuation is bliss
let's take heaven for a ride
could you stay by me through the night?
bubble machine
lyrics
​
feel strapped to my bed, trapped in my head (yeah)
wish i could take back the things i said (yeah)
limp heart but still can't seem to let go
i want a hug to hold
​
blue press, new dress up on a hanger
impress or obsess, these streets they can't hurt
two blocks or three months, can't seem to face them
it's four AM again
​
do you think they're scared of me?
are they hiding or are they hibernating?
i want a reality that's sold only in dreams
maybe i don't wanna leave my bubble machine
​
feel sick of seven in the morning
to wake up to just another evening
speed up to slow down all of my breathing
'cause what's the meaning
​
do you think they're scared of me?
are they hiding or are they hibernating?
i want a reality that's sold only in dreams
maybe i don't wanna leave my bubble machine
​
do you think at seventeen
is it waiting or is our time just waning?
i want a reality that's sold only in dreams
maybe i don't wanna leave my bubble machine

senior sunset
lyrics
​
if there's one thing that i regret
it's that i didn't know you longer than this moment
still beginning to take our first steps
but now it seems our last ones' buried in the sand
​
clouds rolling in, rain on my skin
but at least we're walking here together in this storm
ooh, ooh
​
so just hold my hand, i'll hug you tight
the evening's cold but the dawn'll come again, we'll be all right
senior sunset came a little early
but i'm glad you got to see it with me
​
visions we had that we couldn't try firsthand
but somehow i made it out of here barely a bruise
thanks to you, ooh
​
so now take my hand, i'll hug you tight
the evening's cold but the dawn'll come again we'll be all right
senior sunset came a little early
but i know that there's more to this journey
​
and now before we cry or say goodbye
i'll hold you in my arms a little longer one last time
senior sunset came a little early
but i'm glad you got to see it with me
melon cauli
lyrics
​
say i'm overwhelmed / didn't sleep too well
my mind kept me up till two in the morning
daily carousel / dragged my way through hell
can't differentiate my thoughts from the story
​
but i can't seem to find a reason for these
messy fortunes that i'm calling my feelings
put these stickers on my face to cover the scars
but who's that girl there afar? i do not know who you are
​
self-checkout but never check back in
i'm holding baskets full of wilting flowers
popcorn popped to pass the hours
say goodbye but know you'll come again
'cause every day happiness keeps on calling
so why do i feel like falling?
​
find my heart in aisle number three
i left my brain in the car, the rust is painting my keys
shaking up inside but cannot explode
i kinda wanna go home, but there i don't do much but be alone
​
nothing's going on / cried for way too long
california's never seen rain this early
can't find words to write / light a match tonight
the candle's burning down my house in the morning
​
but i can't seem to find a reason for these
messy fortunes that i'm calling my feelings
always telling myself i was born from the stars
but here i'm left in the dark, i do not know who you are
​
self-checkout but never check back in
i'm holding baskets full of wilted flowers
popcorn popped to pass the hours
can you find me when you come again?
my label's folderol, freedom, and folly
peppers, caffeine, melancholy
​
find my heart in aisle number three
i left my brain in the car, the rust is painting my keys
shaking up inside but cannot explode
i kinda wanna go home, this here feels like the unknown
​
can someone list the reasons here for me
feel like i'm screaming the words, guess i'm still picking the weeds
have a map but don't know where to go
i kinda wanna go home, this here feels like the unknown
going
lyrics
​
have a lot of time in my mind
in my hands i'm a fiddler
have a lot of stories, makes me mine
but sometimes i'm scared i'll wilt her
​
mirrors broken, i try to ignore it
stems left on the floor from the other night
why don't you drink coffee in the morning
sipping drugs outside to keep you in line
​
drown my head in my reflection
manicure for the nails i've bitten but
dancing out here would be all right
the road in chilly weather, a kiss goodnight
​
life is going (ooh), i'm not alone i know
life is going (ooh), the future's friend and foe
i've got everywhere to go
don't drag your toes, you'll figure out the proper way to row
​
camera flashes, mindless adoring
stems left on the floor from the other night
why don't drink coffee in the morning
sipping drugs outside keeps you out of line
​
how do you put up with my antics
i just grew up as a romantic
in my head, your words just sit
maybe if you put them against my lips
​
life is going (ooh), i'm not alone i know
but life keeps going (ooh), the future's friend and foe
i've got everywhere to go
don't drag your toes, you'll figure out the proper way to row
​
i'm always getting there but i never arrive
maybe if i climb these hills with you the sun will rise
i'm always getting there but i never arrive
maybe if i climb these hills with you the sun will rise
