I want to say Something to you but infatuation Keeps my mouth glued This time I'll watch for how you move I tend to Fall for an ideal that is not real but I can't help how I feel. We both arrive with different backgrounds. Nothing is certain when you come around but a mood I bet we both have nothing to lose yet I would if I could choose You play it safe I keep my sails down My compass spins where will I be found Next to you the sea is such a radiant blue Like the eyes we both see through I want to know Your point of view From held on high To misconstrued The type of lens that I look through Tends to focus on ideals That you might shield It makes me come undone. We both arrive with different backgrounds. Nothing is certain when you come around but a mood I bet we both have nothing to lose yet I would if I could choose You play it safe I keep my sails down My compass spins where will I be found Next to you the sea is such a radiant blue Like the eyes we both see through

Literate Bae 03:43
lyrics

You cross my mind Only all the time I had to write you some love lines We like to talk About being grown up And the different bands that we should hear I wish you lived near I wish you were right here Cuz everything you say Can make or break my day When you're so literal You got the look that look that'll keep me from my book If you don't watch what you say The combination of words I always wanted to say You're such a literate bae One day we'll meet And a kiss will greet Your cheek for that look in your eye You'll be in my life and I'll make you no strife Nor the type of pain we've both felt lately I like you living near I like it right here I like the way you whisper in my ear "would you be mine?" Cuz everything you say Can make or break my day When you're so literal You got the look that look that'll keep me from my book If you don't watch what you say The combination of words I always wanted to say You're my favorite girl and I want you to stay So just grab onto me and we'll drift away Cuz everything you say Can make or break my day When you're so literal You got the look that look that'll keep me from my book If you don't watch what you say The combination of words I always wanted to say You're my favorite girl and I want you to stay So just grab onto me and we'll drift away You're such a literate bae. You cross my mind Only all the time I had to write you some Love lines

Say Anything 03:50
lyrics

The phone rang. I read your name. Butterflies. You said, "Come if you can." Typical. Restaurants and matinees. Just to hold you, And feel this way. I'll lay still and endure some pain. Your touch will make it go away. It goes away. This sunrise. We're on display. Through windows, That hide our face. I asked you, "Are you awake? Should we go?" You said "No, let's stay." I'll lay still and endure some pain. Your touch will make it go away. Your eyes close. Here we remain. Lovers hiding, waiting to say... Say anything. Say anything. I'll lay still and endure some pain. Your touch will make it go away. Your eyes close. Here we remain. Lovers hiding, waiting to say... Say anything. Say anything.

Song: 92 Days Artist: Kight I had this girl she Rocked my world for 92 days October till my birthday She liked to laugh at me and she, Liked the way I sang along with all the, Old songs that no one else would know but me. I was amazed at the way we would lay around all day My arm would fall asleep so I would turn to her and say ”Hey babay If you’re happy then I am too. If you’re happy then this will do.” 54 more days and I, Had to say “We need a break cuz…” Well, I was making lots of little mistakes. She looked at me like a, little puppy and my heart just had to break so, I asked her back in 2 more days. I told her how I felt and All of it was true. And when she took me back she, Turned to me and said, “Hey babay… If you’re happy then I am too. If you’re happy then this will do. We both have made mistakes and Your touch is what I crave I love your way” Our love was in full bloom, But something changed in me and you. So I turned to you and said, “Hey babay… If you’re happy then I am too. If you’re happy then this will do. We both have made mistakes and Now it’s time to say Goodbye babay… Goodbye babay… Oh hoewhoawhoa Goodbye babay.”

Heart of Gold 03:41
lyrics
Here I am letting go just to watch how things unfold. Every plan I've ever made did contain forces that we can't control. I, I have been told that a heart made of gold never shivers. You, You and I know sure as the wind that blows we are sinners. Where do we go when we dream when we're sleeping? How do we know where we go isn't an oversight. These types of thoughts I've been recently thinking, Open,open my mind. Hope, hope is a friend of mine. Time, time never rewinds. So I'll look and I'll look 'til I find. Here I am wanting more, more than I could ever afford. It's hard to justify when I realized what all of this is for. Now I cherish the times that the love that's inside of us is lifted. Like when, you remember the time that I drove you to town with your sister. Where do we go when we dream when we're sleeping? How do we know where we go isn't an oversight. These types of thoughts I've been recently thinking, Open,open my mind. Hope, hope is a friend of mine. Time, time never rewinds. So I'll look and I'll look 'til I find. I know where you might want to go. Please don't give away your heart of gold. It might hurt you to know that I see you letting go. Where do we go when we dream when we're sleeping? How do we know where we go isn't an oversight. These types of thoughts I've been recently thinking, Open,open my mind. Hope, hope is a friend of mine. Time, time never rewinds. So I'll look and I'll look 'til I find. Look 'til I find Look 'til I find Look 'til I find
