Pity Party
03:36
|
|||
|
Glitter on the floor/ cigarette ends by the front door/
Confetti in the cobwebs/ prosecco stained curtains/
Mascara on my cheeks/ bare feet/
Just sitting on the sofa staring at a screen/
I’m having a pity party/ please take a seat/
If you’re in your twenties and you don’t know what to think/
Come join my pity party/ don’t wipe your feet/
I just wanna feel something/ I just wanna feel something/
Party hats wilted/ from the heat/
I think I put on music but I can’t find the beat/
So I drunkenly sit at a piano and I try to play/
A song I wrote at fifteen but it seems so far away/
So I’m having a pity party/ please take a seat/
If you’re in your twenties and you don’t know what to believe/
Come join my pity party/ don’t wipe your feet/
I just wanna feel something/ I just wanna feel something etc.

I’m never gonna be that girl who/
looks good in the morning with her hair all smooth/
I’m never gonna be that girl who/
Looks cool all the time that’s just not my mood my vibe/
I’m sad I’m anxious/ I’m too romantic/
I swear I feel so stupid all the time/ just for being alive/
I’m cringing at my own damn life/ maybe I should get one/
Isn’t it nice isn’t it nice/ being a little bit weird like/
Isn’t it cool to be a mess/ I’m feeling at a loss if I’m not a bit stressed/
Do do do/ do do do/ maybe I’m just destined to be anxious/
Do do do/ do do do/ I kinda like the way my brainworks though/
I kinda like the way my brainworks though/
I’m always gonna be that girl who/
Checks twice if you’re fine/ are you alright /and are you sure though/
I’m always gonna be that girl who/
Says I don’t care but that voice is always there saying/
I’m sad I’m anxious/ I’m too romantic/
I swear I feel so stupid all the time/ just for being alive/
I’m cringing at my own damn life/ maybe I should get one/
Isn’t it nice isn’t it nice/ being a little bit weird like/
Isn’t it cool to be a mess/ I’m feeling at a loss if I’m not a bit stressed/
Do do do/ do do do/ maybe I’m just destined to be anxious/
Do do do/ do do do/ I kinda like the way my brainworks though/
I kinda like the way my brainworks though/
I tripped over my laces/ guess I should’ve tied them up/
Instead of running races round and round my head/
Just trynna make it through the day/
But I guess it makes a story to tell when I don’t know what to say/
So what if I just take a little more time to adjust my/
Technicolour brain to the pouring rain/
And I’m soaked to the skin but I’m dancing anyway/
Isn’t it nice isn’t it nice/ being a little bit weird like/
Isn’t it cool to be a mess/ I’m feeling at a loss if I’m not a lot stressed/
Do do do/ do do do/ maybe I’m just destined to be anxious/
Do do do/ do do do/ I kinda like the way my brainworks though/
I kinda like the way my brainworks though/

Can I start by saying that I love ya/ this isn’t a dig
But lately you’ve been acting like a bossy travel agent/
Sending me onto a guilt trip/
How can you believe that/ I’m the one in the wrong/
Just cause I’m not giving you/ all of my attention/
I get that these times are hard/ you’ve got a jealous heart/
It’s a shame babe/ but looking back to the start/
You’re just not a girls girl/ we’re not the same/
You’re just not a girls girl/ and that’s ok/
Guess it’s a fact you haven’t got my back/
You take what you need/ then you up and leave/
And now you’re mad/ cause you still need me/
It’s clear you’re not a girls girl/ like me/
I’m not saying that I hate ya/ that’s not what this is/
I just wish you’d stop ignoring me/ like a stroppy kid/
Can’t you just be happy/ for the people you love/
Do you even know what love is/ I don’t wanna give up but/
I get that these times are hard/ you’ve got a jealous heart/
It’s a shame babe/ but looking back to the start/
You’re just not a girls girl/ we’re not the same/
You’re just not a girls girl/ and that’s ok/
Guess it’s a fact you haven’t got my back/
You take what you need/ then you up and leave/
And now you’re mad/ cause you still need me/
It’s clear you’re not a girls girl/ like me/
I’m thinking long talks and cocktails with mini umbrellas/
Call me up just for a laugh/
I’m saying take me home when I’ve had too much/
Don’t wander off to another club/
I’m sure he seems nice but gal pals are for life/
You’re just not a girls girl/ we’re not the same/
You’re just not a girls girl/ and that’s ok/
Guess it’s a fact you haven’t got my back/
You take what you need/ then you up and leave/
And now you’re mad/ cause you still need me/
It’s clear you’re not a girls girl/ like me/

Citrus Loser
03:25
|
|||
|
I’m walking home a little drunk/ thinking maybe that I suck/
I shouldn’t of said that/ and why did I do that/
All these regrets/ and all this guilt/
I’m crying over split milk/
I can’t break the habit/ decend into madness/
And sometimes I lie in bed/ and the only thought that’s in my head is/
I’m so bitter/ I’m made of lemons/
A citrus loser/ grapefruit for breakfast/
I’m far from on it/ if I’m honest with you babe/
But I’d love it if you stayed/
Do you care that I swear every other word/
And have you noticed/ it’s no bed of roses/
Being with a girl who/ changes her mind/
And spends too much time in her own head/
Convincing herself that/
I’m so bitter/ I’m made of lemons/
A citrus loser/ grapefruit for breakfast/
I’m far from on it/ if I’m honest with you babe/
If people were kinds of water/
I’d be the tap kind/ but slightly warmer/
Than you wanted/ if I’m honest with you babe/
But I’d love it if you stayed/
But hey maybe you like your water warm/
And with a slice of lemon and a straw

Daughter
03:29

I’ve got sunshine on my mind/
I was born a fire sign/ but I love the smell of rain/
And I lose myself in yesterday/
I’ve got sunshine on my mind when I wake/
And I watch things grow outside my window/
If peace is something we make/ I think I better make it with myself/
Before anyone else/
I am a plant that I forget to water/
I am my mother’s daughter/ a child of the sun/
And my life has just begun/
I am a plant that I forget to nurture/
I am my father’s daughter/ a child of the sun/
One day I’ll be old and I’ll wish I was young/ (x2)

Fat
03:48
|
|||
|
I had a bad day today/ I covered up my mirror/
Cos I was fixated on my figure/
I’m trying hard to change/
I’m in my twenties I know better/ I am brave and I am clever/
I/ I am haunted/ by the TV/
I/ I try to love me/ but hate consumes me/
I know what my friends will say/
That I am beautiful whatever/
They’re probably right/ but I don’t feel very put together/
But I know I’ll be ok/ this is a temporary feeling/
And we are always healing/
I/ I am haunted by the newsfeed/
I/ I try to love me/ but it’s not easy/
My biggest fear is of being fat/ there’s something very wrong with that/
Cause I could be a murderer if I so wished/
which is a hell of a lot scarier than forty inch hips/
when I was a little girl/ I thought the worst thing in this world/
that a girl could be/ is Fat/
I watched Bridget Jones Diary on the TV/ and I couldn’t help but think/
I don’t want that to be me/ and then an idea crept in/
I will spend my whole life striving to be thin/
And so the years went by/ and I would eat/ and then not eat/
And then eat again and cry/
and think that a boy would never love me because of the size of my thighs/
which is stupid as fuck/
this is a nasty feeling that I did not teach myself to feel/
I did not bloom from my mother so that I could live a life of guilt/
So I had this thought/ and you’ll think that I’m mad/
But I thought maybe if just stop fixating on this/ I won’t be so fucking sad/
Maybe I could accept myself as I am/ what a radical move/
Hey maybe there’s more to life that thinking about food/
Maybe I could take back the control/ forget about even numbers on a clothes tag/
And odd ones on a scale/ what if I stop waiting to live/
What if I just threw out my old jeans and bought new ones that fit/
So that’s where I’m at/ and I’m nowhere near the finish line/
But I’ve stopped crying in the fitting room/ in fact the fitting room is fine/
Turns out the mirror is just glass/ and I don’t need to care/
Cause there are people that love me/ and there is beauty everywhere/
And I don’t love myself/ cause it’s not as simple as all that/
But if I can just wake up in the morning/
and accept that I am who I am/ then that would be/
a damn good place to start

Boys
03:57

She spends her nights with the wrong guy wrong time/
She’s kidding herself/ emotional disconnection can’t be good for your health/
But on her mind there’s a swipe right good times/ the flick of a thumb/
And you should do you/ but you say you’ve never actually been loved/
And I worry about you cause you sit in your room a lot/
And I worry about you cause you deserve a lot better than what you’ve got/
So let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
I saw her crying cos the right guy wrong time/
Left her on read/ and I’m guilty of it too but/
Why do people leave things unsaid/
I saw her cry and scream/ my body is mine/
And girl I agree/ but are you sure you wanna give it away so easily/
And I worry about myself cos I sit in my room a lot/
Actually I worry about a lot of things but my relationship status I do not/
So let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
I’m alone but I’m not lonely/
I’m alone but I’m not lonely/
No one phones me/ but I’m not lonely/
No no no/ (x3)
So let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/
Let’s stop talking ‘bout boys/

Good Mood
03:21

I want all your evenings/ I want all your moods/
I wanna see our friends/ and walk home drunk with you/
I’m a little obsessed/ so it would be rude/
Not to get you in my bed/ and kick off our shoes/
Oh life was getting blue/
Oh but now you know just what you do/
You put me in a cool place/
A technicolour headspace/
Know you won’t give me heartache/
Just giggles and train rides and junk food/
You put me in a Good Mood/
I want all you days/
I want all your coffee breaks/ dinner dates/ split the bill/ fuck it I’ll pay/
I’ll do anything to be with you/
Sun don’t shine all the time/
But we look good when we’re covered in rain/
Oh we’re a dream team/ love machine/ oh darling don’t you ever change/
Oh life was getting blue/
Oh but now you know just what you do/
You put me in a cool place/
A technicolour headspace/
Know you won’t give me heartache/
Just giggles and train rides and junk food/
You put me in a Good Mood/
You put me in a/ spectacular trance like/
Ice in my glass like a/ sky full of stars/
Now I don’t feel blue/
You put me in a cool place/
A technicolour headspace/
Know you won’t give me heartache/
Just giggles and train rides and junk food/
You put me in a Good Mood/
You put me in a/

He
03:13
|

|
He puts lights on the ceiling/ he plays with braids in my hair/
He doesn’t ask how I’m feeling/ he just exists there/
He dances like in movies/ I don’t think he cares/
If anybody’s watching/ he just spins me round his atmosphere/
And I feel lightning when you’re here/
And there is gold dust in your fingertips/
As they trace mine/
I’ll love you long time/
He put hope in my future/
Even though he spoiled my plans/
He’s always quietly blooming with me/
He understands/
And I feel lightning when you’re here/
And there is gold dust in your fingertips/
As they trace mine/
I’ll love you long time/
He tells me his stories/ he laughs ‘til he cries/
I never could’ve dreamed of/ such emerald eyes/
And I feel lightning when you’re here/
And there is gold dust in your fingertips/
As they trace mine/
I’ll love you long time/
(I’ll love you all my life/ I’ll love you for a long time)

Red Dress (sad version)
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ll play it cool as a cucumber/ you won’t even know/
That I was sulking the other night/ cos you made me feel so dumb/
I’ll float through your house like a nebula/ you won’t even know/
That I’ve been drifting through your darkness/ in my own celestial glow/
I’m spinning in a red dress tonight/
I’m spinning in a red dress and I/
I’m queen of the dance floor and I know/
When I leave the room you’ll be watching me go/
Now I’ve drunk myself into happiness/
And you’re just a dick/
I don’t really have anything else to say about it/
I’m spinning in a red dress tonight/
I’m spinning in a red dress and I/
I’m queen of the dance floor and I know/
When I leave the room you’ll be watching me go/
Do you regret it yet/
Now that I’m breathing out a golden glow/
Are you ready yet/
To treat me like a human/ (x3)
I’m spinning in a red dress tonight/
I’m spinning in a red dress and I/
I’m queen of the dance floor and I know/
When I leave the room you’ll be watching me go/

Ok
03:38
|
|||
|
Sometimes the song is so good that I have to dance/
And the rain smells like a summer romance/
I’m sad most of the time/ but there’s something about the sky at 4am/
I get this feeling of infinity when I’m with my friends/
Oh dancing ‘round the living room or drinking as the sunsets/
There’s nothing like waking up in a tent/
With a headache and glitter in your hair/
I guess what I’m trynna say is/
Nothing will ever seem as bad as yesterday/
And I should smile more/
Cause everything is always gonna be ok ooh/
I feel like I’m an optimist with a heavy heart/
I’m a dreamer but I still say I can’t/
I have this overwhelming fear that I’ll never be enough/
So I buy all these books that tell me not to give a fuck/
And oh my god I love my mum so much/
I can’t believe that I’m living/ I can’t believe my luck/
I guess what I’m trynna say is/
Nothing will ever seem as bad as yesterday/
And I should smile more/
Cause everything is always gonna be ok ooh/
I guess what I’m trynna say is/
Life is really messy but we just get on with it/
I’m gonna smile more/
Xxx
