Pretty Girls
01:41
|

Back even before I hit my teens, I found that everything came easy to all those pretty girls that wrote me off for playing the sports that could break my nails
see I was the tomboy with the scuffed up vans and they met up on weekends to get their fake tans and talked behind my back but I was kinder than that and let everything pass my way
and the boys all thought that I was weird too because I traded walking in heels for skills I could actually use
and when they introduced me to skateboarding back then they were jealous cause I learned how to kickflip before them.
but I get the last laugh
cause look at us now look how we turned out
good looks are a commodity but beauty isn’t everything
and it doesn’t make much sense to wake up
3 hours early just to put on too much makeup.
and you can call me what you want now but I’m not the one
who ended up pregnant, bulimic, or hooked on hard drugs.

Worth It
03:09
|

I can be your friend, I can be your love
I can be all of the above
but I won't be a second choice.
I can be your sun and I can be your rain
I can be your drizzle, your hurricane.
as long as I'm the first you're thinking of.
If you're in it for the long run, I'll tell you straight
It's not gonna be smooth sailing everyday
I'll love you tomorrow like I love you today
I'll love you in 50 years like I loved you yesterday
and no disagreement can take that away.
And come the fall, well it'll just be a season
They come and go, but what won't is the feeling
of your hand in mine.
I can't be your past, but I can be your now
I can be the reason you love this town.
and write the next song stuck in your head.
I can make you laugh, I can make you smile
make you wanna stay here with me for a while
and never wanna get up and leave me hanging
I can't promise everything will be perfect
I can't promise everything will be perfect
I can't promise everything will be perfect
but I can promise it'll be worth it

Aeroplane
01:03
|

I’ve never been comfortable sitting on an aeroplane
or gotten sleep as a passenger on a moving train
I’ve got these underdeveloped sea legs to blame
but I’d see this scene all over again.
sometimes I forget about the significance
of all the seemingly insignificant.
sometimes It’s hard to keep up a good conscience
when you have to be careful and cautious
be kind.
be faithful, be smart, and you’ll be fine.
daily smiles to strangers baby I’ll be bringing it back
I’ll write questions that no one will find on hidden train tracks
I won’t say I’ll keep promises when I know I can’t.
but I’ll be honest when I say I can.
sometimes I forget about the significance
of all the seemingly insignificant.
sometimes It’s hard to keep up a good conscience
when you have to be careful and cautious
be kind.
be faithful, be smart, and you’ll be fine.

Videogames
02:40

Twenty-five cents in my back pocket
to continue to level thirty-four.
I call Galaga a talent
cause I've spent five bucks
to be eighth on the leader board.
If I could, I'd go back and restart this whole game.
You and I would be together
the alphabet would never be the same.
Old school Nintendo
thousands of IMs i've sent you
I've beaten these games so many times
I choose Yoshi and Kirby
Super Smash Brother Derby
and Crash Bandicoot with 2D lines.
I say that I control this world-
but you control mine
One day, we can sell your Pokemon cards
for lots of cash
Your action figures like Squirtle, Charmaner, Brock, Ash
but if you don't wanna do that
it's fine with me
We can work your Neopets up to the highest degree
and finally beat your friend
in the end.
So wait a minute
the ball is in your court.
NBA Live on PS3 should be a sport.
Select, start, A, B, A, B baby is the code
It's your choice to choose freeskate or career mode.
So what's it gonna be-
Her or me?

If I Were You
03:30
|
|||
I keep what's on the tip of my tongue on the inside
so I'm not looking in from the outside wanting back in
I sit, ipod in, calm and steady
I collect myself when im about ready
to ruin everything.
and the lines are drawn
so who's side are you on now?
I forgive and forget
but you're making me regret it now.
and if I were you
I'd be a lot less clueless
about the talk going around
there's talk going around
and the ignorance
of thinking that nothing's wrong
will be confirmed in this song.
only if you're willing to listen.
I can tell you everything
and do so gracefully only if you'd like to know.
I dont think you get that maybe
all of this is unnecessary
it's like involuntarily taking the long way out.
and I hate making excuses
for not wanting to be around.
keeping secrets
without enough courage to say out loud.
my fingers graze past overexposed photographs
of when problems were foreign to me
and every day I'm reminded that I don't have a shield around
and that teenage drama's found me
effortlessly.

Skylar
02:36
|
|||
front a fake smile for the camera lenses
rolled solo with the consequences
mouth shut, lips sealed and glued
trying to get rid of the scent of you.
bitten lip on the front porch step back
convincing smile. faded, set back
stood up clean, like nothing even happened
hidden well, a somewhat self inflicted hell
Oh Skylar
no one wants to beat you up while you're down.
Outsider.
You don’t wanna open up but I'll be around.
don’t you know
that this is what bestfriends are for.
this is what bestfriends are for.
took the car out for a drive cause
it's easy to forget that you’re still alive
when you barely sleep and wake too late
and try to make them proud for your parents sake
You’re sick of hearing that we’ve been there done that
but I’d do anything to get you to come back home
come back home.
hidden well, a somewhat self inflicted hell
everyone needs space everyone needs space
but I know when you’re not what you say and not okay.
everyone needs space everyone needs space
but I know when you’re not okay and you’re not okay.
oh skylar
you don’t have to say it I already know
oh skylar
you put on a poker face but I fold.
don’t you know
this is what best friends are for.

14 Days
04:07
|
|||
Today, I sat in the middle of the road at 4:07 AM
waiting for an "I'm still here"
maybe he's still sleeping maybe he's still dreaming, but I hope he's thinking
of me. I'm selfish when I wanna be.
no call, no text,
no idea what's left
as I look at the half lit sky.
maybe we're too young
maybe it's too late
maybe I gave too much away
at least we kind of tried
baby, it's a 13 hour flight
and in 2 hours I'll board this plane
if I don't get to say goodbye before your eyes open awake
I'd like to let you know I'll spend 2 weeks of my summer
thousands of miles away.
parallel to this dotted line.
so you can cut right here
it doesnt matter much where this oncoming car will steer.
so won't you save me just once?
it was the longest 2 weeks of my life
and when I watched the little islands pass me by
I thought of you and though there were others, I felt so incomplete.
Ive got 13 hours til I get home to broken friends, and I told you sos.
and of course, the watered down "i want you, I miss you, I miss you"
it was 14 days of hell in such a beautiful place
what a waste.

Sing Me to Sleep
03:14
|
|||
Hello, I'm quite stunned
but my friend's call me Stephanie.
I'm really tripping on my own words and it's not reflecting the best of me.
Mmhmm
You say the room is pretty crowded
and it's not really your scene
I can tell by way you can't settle in that steel plated seat.
Mmhmm
Your voice is like the feeling of holding hands for the first time, and for a moment, everything's right.
Like that.
The way it melts into my ears is like the way I feel when I'm enveloped in strong arms or a warm fleece blanket.
Like that.
Could you sing me to sleep?
It's never been hard to feign confidence
until you stood right in front of me
And like being at the top of a roller coaster, I'll never feel ready
to talk to you.
When I mustered up the courage,
I took a deep breathe in
and as I exhaled, I completely forgot that I existed.
I stood there for a moment, all red in the face
my heart almost ceased to beat
when you said my name
You make me wanna write 10 albums
all about the way you make me feel like I'm the only one in the room
When all eyes are on you.

Chivalry
02:43
|
|||
I'm not asking for roses, or for that matter a bouquet
I'm not asking for "just because" presents on my doorstep everyday
I'm not that girl.
I'm not that girl.
oh I'm not asking for roses or chocolate or for you to call me baby
I'm not asking for diamond earrings, necklace, rings, expensive things
but could you just be a bit more gentlemanly?
or does this mark the death to chivalry?
I'm not your personal chauffeur. Just someone to drive you around
or a walking wallet. Always leave the check for me to count
and I'm not down.
I'm not so down.

The Third Beginning
03:30
|
|||
Here we go again
Back to where we once began
Baby there's no end
Disputes to try to get us back
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorries aren't really cutting it right now
'Cause all I need right now is you
Please justify
All the reasons you want out
Please tell me why we can't glue it back together
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorries aren't really cutting it right now
'Cause all I need right now is you
Honey, I know that things are getting rough for us right now
But this is the 3rd time in a row
that you're breaking my heart, breaking me down
And I need you to understand that I can leave the rest, but when it comes to you, baby I can't
Well if you're gonna leave
don't forget your car keys
I'll help you out the door, 'cause you'll be running back to me
That's just the way it's always been
I hate the way you break all of your promises
Just be honest with me
Do you know what honest is?
That's just the way it's always been.

Nicotine
03:47
|
|||
You're my nicotine
screwing up my dopamine receptors
I've got a light head, I know my right from left
though I think we should test that for safe measure
I can't get enough
and I don't wanna touch ground again
I'm so sorry that you had to see this side of me, but there's no use trying to pretend
that I'm way too good for someone like you
you're my nicotine except so much better for me
and it makes it hard to stay focused
but hey, you already know this
and I'm not sure if I like how you can look right through me
but baby when you look right at me I've gotta remember to breathe
You're my nicotine
and I'm addicted to the way you hold my hand
it's new to have to reveal how you make me feel
a way that not just anyone can
And I just can't quit
I get dizzy just thinking of the thought of you
and it's hard for me to understand fully that this is something that I can't undo.
You're my nicotine except so much better for me
and it makes it hard to stay focused
but hey, you already know this
and I'm not sure if I like how you can look right through me
but baby when you look right at me I've gotta remember to breathe
It's always too soon, too much
I don't want us to rush
No one was as numb as I was
Shied away from feelings
dropped them and called them clingy
I claimed that all the things he thought we had were untrue
and then I met you.
you're my nicotine except so much better for me
and it makes it hard to stay focused
but hey, you already know this
and I'm not sure if I like how you can look right through me
but baby when you look right at me I've gotta remember to breathe
You're my nicotine.

The Best of Me
00:58
|
|||
I would’ve back packed
all across the globe just to find you
only two hours away while I was living in LA
breaking the hearts of the wrong ones I met before you
since we met, I’ve changed
threw expectations away
and let everything come naturally
so the moment I realized I had fallen for you I was already knee deep
you are my best friend
you’ll never be less than.
I’ll stick with you until the very end.
Oh Brandon you have the best of me

Love, Love, Love
04:15
|
|||
roll your sleeves roll your sleeves up
can I have your sweater, turn the heat up.
oh god I’m scared, I'm gone.
back to where I started from
loosen up loosen up your tie
feeling better? do you feel alright?
oh god I know I'm indecisive
back to the blueprints, bad timing.
I’ll wait for you
but I wont leave myself behind.
you’ll be my anchor
and steer me away from first divide.
Close all my open wounds
and I’ll trust you with this knife.
maybe we can work if we try
but you’ll cut me up in slow decline.
take me down take me uptown
he’s waiting for the moment when I’ll come around
we’re built on careful persuasion
and I’m stuck in synthetic suffocation.
it’s a number it’s a number’s game
dating is win, lose, aim, obtain
but fishing for answers isn’t fun
when I catch, release and run.
love, love, love
don’t count me out.
words leaving
battle scars on my mouth.
