Lipstick Kisses Put on your red dress, let’s go out tonight World’s got us messed up, but I will make it fine I miss your green eyes, I miss the way you dance I miss those naive days when we stood a chance Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Let’s not tell them that we’re out tonight Oh, we’ll make a world just for you and I I can’t tell you it’ll be alright But you look so pretty in the city lights And maybe this is just a waste of time But I think I’m in love with the way you smile Let’s not tell him that I called you mine Oh, your lipstick kisses must be a sign You wear my hoodie, and my heart’s on your sleeve I’ll take you dancing, you make my knees go weak Where will this end up, how will it fall? ‘Cause you play a tough game, and I don’t play at all Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Let’s not tell them that we’re out tonight Oh, we’ll make a world just for you and I I can’t tell you it’ll be alright But you look so pretty in the city lights And maybe this is just a waste of time But I think I’m in love with the way you smile Let’s not tell him that I called you mine Oh, your lipstick kisses must be a sign Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Let’s not tell them that we’re out tonight Oh, we’ll make a world just for you and I I can’t tell you it’ll be alright But you look so pretty in the city lights And maybe this is just a waste of time But I think I’m in love with the way you smile Please don’t tell him that I called you mine Oh, your lipstick kisses must be a sign Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says your mind is a fool Now your mind says your heart can’t be trusted Now your heart says that might just be true

Again 02:57
lyrics

Again I’ve been trying to think of the words to say to you I’ve been hiding because I don’t know what else to do Every time I think of you, there’s a new song at my fingertips I try to ignore it, but I just wanna hold you in a kiss Now you’re gone and I lost my chance And it’s my fault that we never danced Haven’t seen you for awhile The thought of you, it makes me smile And I think I’m in it again Funny how these thoughts creep up and hold you way too tight Funny how I thought I wouldn’t miss you, but you’re back in my mind late at night Guess you could say that I forgot what it meant to make you smile Guess you could say it’s just an afterthought, but can I just stay with you for awhile? Now you’re gone and I lost my chance And it’s my fault that we never danced I thought I was over you But then I saw you across the room And I don’t know how to feel Haven’t seen you for awhile The thought of you, it makes me smile Every time you talk to me You don’t know how much every word means And I think I’m in it again

Table for Two 03:27
lyrics

Table For Two Late night calls at half past two And I gotta act like I care what you do I’m underdressed and I’m so scared ‘Cause I don’t give a damn, but I don’t really like your new hair You make me wait in the back of the car And you just talk to your dad, oh, I don’t know who you are You make me wait for everything And you’re tying your shoelaces, claiming that you love me They say, “Why don’t you do better, you know you could” Oh, I wish you understood ‘Cause he said "Come over I’m free on Friday Just the two of us, we’ll do things my way Come over, I’ve been waiting on you I’ve already got a table for two" Boys with pretty eyes, they get the best of me Boys with pretty lies bring out the best in me I’m gonna smile when I look at you But you look away and I wanna spit on your shoe Maybe you thought a relationship Was a girl in the bathroom at a party sucking your Did you think to get off your high horse In my humble opinion, you’re not relevant anymore I make you wait for everything Oh, it’s so hard claiming that you love me They say, “Why don’t you do better, you know you could” Oh, I wish you understood ‘Cause he said "Come over I’m free on Friday Just the two of us, we’ll do things my way Come over, I’ve been waiting on you I’ve already got a table for two" Boys with pretty eyes, they get the best of me Boys with pretty lies bring out the best in me And you’re tying your shoelaces, claiming that you love me And you’re tying your shoelaces, claiming that you love me I make you wait for everything oh, it’s so hard claiming that you love me You make me wait for everything, oh, it’s so hard claiming that I love you

Locked Out 04:29
lyrics

Locked Out Don’t look at me, I’m just gonna make a fool out of everything I know And yeah, I’m good, but I’m a little bit angry, and I guess it a little bit shows But I've got good grades, good parents that really care about me In the end, there’s no good reason why I should spend all this time complaining I’ve got myself together Maybe things couldn’t be better Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Forget it, it won’t even matter when you take a look at the bigger picture Smaller lenses always seem to capture those little moments you wanna remember Maybe I’m being too damn hard on my own damn self Perfect image of a girl who doesn’t recognize her metaphorical wealth I’ve got myself together Maybe things couldn’t be better Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get too caught in my own doubts Sometimes I wish I knew what my words were about Sometimes I get locked out of my own house Sometimes I get locked out of my own house

House of Cards 04:39

House of Cards I’m sorry if all of this comes to you as a shock I’m sorry I never sat down and just talked I’m feeling so disconnected I don’t want, want to be perfected Don’t tell me I’m wrong, boy, I know that we are a house of cards One gust of wind it will shatter our mending hearts And you know that this is The cue for my exit I know that this isn’t what you wanted to hear But timing was never my strong suit, my dear I’m feeling so indecisive I don’t want, want to be reminded Don’t tell me I’m wrong, boy, I know that we are a house of cards One gust of wind it will shatter our mending hearts And you know that this is The cue for my exit Dreamless nights in my bed Hours passing by Everything I never said Still couldn’t tell you why I’m feeling so disconnected I don’t want, want to be perfected I’m feeling so indecisive I don’t want, want to be reminded Don’t tell me I’m wrong, boy, I know that we are a house of cards One gust of wind it will shatter our mending hearts And you know that this is The cue for my exit

Take Me Home We fall for the good time, there’s laughter, there’s sunshine Forgetting all of our fears There’ll be parties and music, so happy, don’t lose it Promise we’ll all be better next year The snow, it is sparkling and the lights, they’re so pretty The holiday season, it warms up this city And I want this, I love this I need this Oh, take me home We’ll all get our fair share of it’s going nowhere And we’ll all just go home to our moms Confess all your secrets at three in the morning ‘Cause this season seems so magical The snow, it is sparkling and the lights, they’re so pretty The holiday season, it warms up this city And I want this, I love this I need this Oh, take me home

When the Power Comes Back On 04:02
lyrics

When The Power Comes Back On You talked in circles, I ran in stars Cardboard people in cutout cars Tell me why you’re still so gone And I’ll tell you why I never call All we do is run through the town with our best shoes on And we stumble back home, fall asleep in the lawn All we do is drive through the night and listen to songs That we’ll never remember when the power comes back on Cut my hair and pled my case These things, I guess, never change Tell you why I took that fall If you tell me why you never call All we do is run through the town with our best shoes on And we stumble back home, fall asleep in the lawn All we do is drive through the night and listen to songs That we’ll never remember when the power comes back on Don’t Don’t look at me ‘Till I’ve got my best face on Don’t Don’t look at me like that So tell me why you stayed up late (sometimes I can’t turn off my brain) Counting cards and tempting fate (come on baby, it’s just a game) Tell me why we lost it all (it was courage stirred with alcohol) But I can’t say why I still won’t call (I’m still waiting for your call) All we do is run through the town with our best shoes on And we stumble back home, fall asleep in the lawn All we do is drive through the night and listen to songs That we’ll never remember when the power comes back on

Friday Nights 02:54
lyrics

Friday Nights We can talk about the day you’re gonna leave your town We can talk for hours and never run out We can go outside and meet some people at some place Or we can just stay in, it doesn’t matter either way I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you Than with anyone else We can run away and forget everyone else We can run away and have each other to ourselves We can run away and find somewhere to belong Or we can just stay put and prove everyone wrong I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you I’d rather spend my Friday nights with you Than with anyone else

about

In the past year, I've wanted to experiment with different sounds and genres while still keeping a sound that feels authentic to me, and I think that this album does exactly that.
