Intro

   
   

Verse 1

I know that the bar closes at 11 
I hope you never finish that beer 
You know all the words to "Just Like Heaven"
And I know why he wrote them now that you're standin' right here

Chorus

Oh, one night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It's feminine intuition
'Cause I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You're lookin' like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alivе I've ever been
But kiss mе and I might drop dead

Instrumental

   

Verse 2

And I feel like I might throw up
Left hook, right punch to the gut
You're so, so pretty, boy
I'm paranoid I made you up
Yeah, I'd love it if you walked me home
If you promise, we can go real slow
'Cause I got chewing gum
And a bunch of stuff I'd like to know
Like, have you ever been to Japan
Or taken that Eurostar to France?
I've been droppin' hints all night
That I'd love it if you held my hand, goddamn
And then maybe we could make-makeout
Clothes off and fall to the ground
Let's go steady, let's go out
And tell the whole damn world how

Chorus

One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It's feminine intuition
'Cause I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You're looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alivе I've ever been
But kiss mе and I might

Bridge

Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well, I think I might just have to stay forever
Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well, I think I might just have to stay forever

Instrumental

   
   

Chorus

(Oh) One night, I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It's feminine intuition
'Cause I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You're looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alivе I've ever been
But kiss mе and I might
Kiss mе and I might

Kiss mе and I might drop dead

CAPO: 4

Intro

  

Verse 1

New York City's never looked so blue
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
They say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free 
And all the girls at this party are so cool
That's never been a thing that I could do
But I can't help but imagine what you say when you speak with me 

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm the car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
N.C. G
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

Verse 2

Walking through the park with my head high
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
And if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us two
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
And I'm too shy to say what I see when I dream of you (When I dream of you)

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm the car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
N.C. G C G C
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

Bridge

Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore

Pre-Chorus

I'm going crazy, I'm going mad 
I want you, baby, so bad

Chorus

You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm the car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

CAPO: 2

Intro

   
  

Verse 1

So I guess that it's true
Time can heal even the worst of wounds
And the clichés I knew
Seem so commonplace when I saw you
Let's just walk in the dark
Hop the fence in the park 
Baby boy, honeybee
God, I love the way you look at me

Chorus

And it's too hard to describe this
In a way that feels honest
But even when I'm quiet
I love you, baby, I promise
And I hope I never see what your face looks like going
A face I swear that I could spend my whole life knowing
Here's to hoping

Verse 2

Pick mе up, walk me home
And it feels likе God threw me a bone
Sticky sweet, tangerine
Would you sit and keep me company?
In the dark, I'm not scared
I just reach and you're right there 
Shooting stars, racing cars
Everything I own just feels like ours

Chorus

It's too hard to describe this
In a way that feels honest
But even when I'm quiet
I love you, baby, I promise
And I hope I never see what your face looks like going
A face I swear that I could spend my whole life knowing
Here's to hoping

But even when I'm quiet
I promise
And I hope I never see what your face looks like going
A face I swear that I could spend my whole life knowing

CAPO: 2

Intro

    

Verse 1

My day is so mundane, I don't think I left the house 
Drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out 
Somehow, it's the weekend, I'm still bored out of my skull 
And I went to the party but only on principle 

Pre-Chorus

Empty, look at me 

Chorus

I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains 
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away  
When my baby goes away 
He goes away 

Verse 2

Everything feels moldy like the fruit that's in my fridge 
And everything that's funny, I wish I could tell to him 
And sometimes, at a low point, I even wish for tragedy 
'Cause I know he'd come ovеr and take real good care of mе 

Pre-Chorus

It's so weird, he's not here 

Chorus

I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track 
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat 
I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains 
But that's just a thing that happens when my
When my baby goes away  
When my baby goes away 
He goes away, oh

Bridge

What can I do
But think of you?
But think of you? (But think of you?)
What can I do

When my baby goes away

Post-Chorus

What can I do (When my baby goes away)
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away, when my baby goes away)
What can I do (When my baby goes away)
But think of you?
But think of you? (Away)

Verse 1

I think that you're killer 
With your floppy hair 
Take me out to dinner
You know you can take me anywhere

Pre-Chorus

And all of my girlfriends roll their eyes
And tell me to take it slow this time

Chorus

But I got a feeling wounds are healing, talking on the phone
I know everybody changes, but I hope that we don't
Carve our names into the car seat leather
You plus me equals a heart forever
A heart forever, oh 

Verse 2

I like your big sister 
Shе has your same face 
And I tried to win hеr
Over with my cynical humor and yacht rock music taste

Pre-Chorus

And all my ex-boyfriends have heard these lines (Let's get married when we're 25)
But I like you better by a million times

Chorus

And I got a feeling, wounds are healing, talking on the phone
I know everybody changes, but I hope that we don't
Carve our names into the car seat leather
You plus me equals a heart forever
A heart forever, oh 
A heart forever  

Bridge

So buy me silver jewelry and all my favorite Cadbury
And tell me yet again about when we met and what you thought of me
Sometimes, I get overwhelmed and way too far ahead of myself
I often get the feeling that I'll never want somebody else

Pre-Chorus

They say modern love's a cruel endeavor (They say it's cruel)
And to that I say, "Fuck it, whatever" (Whatever)

Chorus

'Cause I got a feeling wounds are healing, talking on the phone
I know everybody changes, but I hope that we don't
Carve our names into the car seat leather
You plus me equals a heart forever

Post-Chorus

And ever and ever and ever, oh 
Forever and ever and ever, oh-oh

Verse 1

It's a little hard to stomach all your amateur moves
You know he's with me, like obviously
But you linger in the air just like a bad perfume
It's getting to me, embarrassingly

Pre-Chorus

And here's the part where the girl gets pissed
And the girl is me, did you get that hint?

Chorus

You're in my way now
Don't go, go where you don't belong
Think I can't make out
Ah-ah, how hard you hang on
Kind of insane how
You keep calling, but you never get the message
It goes my way now
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Instrumental

    
    

Verse 2

Man, I wonder what you think is gonna go down
You send him another poem and think that hе'll let me go
Or maybe you're just tryna to get me riled up now
You're posting another pic in clothes that I know are his

Pre-Chorus

Well, here's a map of the lines I drew
And some girl steps over and the girl is you

Chorus

You're in my way now
Don't go, go where you don't belong
Think I can't make out
Ah-ah, how hard you hang on
Kind of insane how
You keep calling, but you never get the message
It goes my way now
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Bridge

So, where'd you get that confidence from?
Last time that I checked, I won
D N.C.
Let me be direct, "Just stop"
You're being fucking weird
Maybe I'm a petty bitch, but you made me resort to this
That's it, I win
That's it, I win

Chorus

You're in my way now
Don't go, go where you don't belong
Think I can't make out
Ah-ah, how hard you hang on
Kind of insane how
You keep calling, but you never get the message
It goes my way now
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Verse 1

It's funny 
When your mom shows pictures of you in your school clothes  
Your buzzcut 
And scrapes on your knees changed, but those eyes I still know  

Pre-Chorus

And it's crazy (It's crazy)
How I used to visit your town like a tourist  
Now I got (I got)
A local grocery store and a favorite florist
And so it goes that

Chorus

You kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect 'til the two lines formed a circle   
And I melt with you, your red and my blue
Now I see the world in purple, purple 

Verse 2

Now a toothbrush 
A coat and pair of shoes all come in doubles (Doubles, doubles, doubles) 
And we fight 
Over who I'm hanging out with like a real couple (Couple, couple, couple) 

Pre-Chorus

It's a small world (It's a small world)
When it only can revolve around us two  
It's crazy (It's crazy)
I had big dreams 'til I tied myself to you  
Now I'm all-consumed

Chorus

And you kissed my neck
Made our paths intersect 'til the two lines formed a circle   
And I melt with you, your red and my blue
Now I see the world in purple, purple  

Post-Chorus

I see the world in, I see the world in purple (Purple, purple, purple) 
I see the world in, I see the world in purple (Purple, purple, purple)

Outro

Melt with you 'til it all turns black
Are we so in love? Are we too attached?
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
When you smooth it out, but it feels too flat
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
When you get so close and you can't go back
Melt with you 'til it all turns black
Melt with you 'til it just feels sad

Intro

  
  

Verse 1

All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind
I thought I'd done enough, but they keep moving the line
I thought I'd found the antidote this time 
I thought I'd found the antidote this time 

Verse 2

All the nights I spent fighting bad thoughts in my room
Feeling so alone, might as well be on the moon
I thought I'd found the antidote with you 
I thought I'd found the antidote with you 

Chorus

But my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt
I got toxins in my bloodstream, you tried hard to suck 'em out
And it feels like medication, and it's good for me, I'm sure
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore 
It'll never be the cure 
It'll nеver be the curе 

Verse 3

I used to play a game in my head when I'd date a guy
Tally up the girls that he fucked 'til I start to cry
I thought I'd found the antidote this time 
I thought I'd found the antidote this time

Refrain

But I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)

Chorus

And my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt
I got toxins in my bloodstream, you tried hard to suck 'em out
And it feels like medication, and it's good for me, I'm sure
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore 
It'll never be the cure 
It'll nеver be the curе, oh

Refrain

'Cause, baby, I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled, I'm unraveled)

Bridge

Why can't you come stitch me up? (I'm unraveled)
Why can't it ever be enough? (I'm unraveled)
Why can't you come stitch me up? (I'm unraveled)
Why can't it ever be enough? (I'm unraveled)
It's not enough 

Chorus

All because my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt (I'm unraveled)
I got toxins in my bloodstream, you tried so hard to suck out (I'm unraveled)
And it feels like medication, and it's good for me, I'm sure (I'm unraveled)
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore (I'm unraveled)
It'll never be the cure 
It will never be the cure 
It'll never be

CAPO: 1

Intro

   
   
   
   

Verse 1

All that I want is to know undoubtedly
That you just have eyes for me
Could you make it clear?
All that I want is to sit here silently
And watch movies on TV
What a shame you're not here
Here to witness my devotion  
And my endless well of needs  
I'm an anchor in the ocean
You know I could never leave

Chorus

So, I'm patient, you're learning, pretend it's not hurting, oh (Oh)
'Cause they say it's a virtue to not let good love slip away ('Way)
So I'm cool and forgiving, I'll take what you're giving, oh woah (Oh)
But nothing's quite enough when I know that to get it, I begged
Yeah, to get it, I begged     

Verse 2

And I have this thought when I lay in bed at night
That I feel trapped inside my life
Is that a normal thing to fight back the waves
Of a static lover's dread?
I'm overwhelmed, I'm underfed
And yet I still cling
Cling to hope like snow on mountains (Cling to hope like)  
Careless words melt it away (Careless, melt away)
I'm a penny in a fountain (In a fountain)
Just waiting on my luck to change

Chorus

So, I'm patient, you're learning, pretend it's not hurting, oh (Oh)
'Cause they say it's a virtue to not let good love slip away ('Way)
So I'm cool and forgiving, I'll take what you're giving, oh woah (Oh)
But nothing's quite enough when I know that to get it, I begged
Yeah, to get it, I begged

CAPO: 4

Intro

    

Verse 1

I'm just staring at the ceiling
Can't describe this feeling
I've got in my head
I'm out of body in my bed
And I'm just searching up my symptoms
Desperate to fix 'em
I'll do anything
'Cause lately I've been spiraling, oh
I'm not feeling like myself and
Nothing ever seems to help

Chorus

Went to the doctor and she said I was fine
But every movie that I see makes me cry
It's like somebody put a weight on my chest
I should talk to a friend
But I can't get out of bed
My head is spinning and my stomach is sick
Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I think you're what's wrong with me

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

I keep looking for distractions
Hope the feeling passes
But I've got to say
It's getting harder every day
And I can't seem to get around it
Head just keeps on pounding with
The simple thought
What if this isn't what I want?

Chorus

Went to the doctor and she said I was fine
Tried meditation with a bottle of wine
It's like somebody put a weight on my chest
I should talk to a friend
But I can't get out of bed
My head is spinning and my stomach is sick
Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I think you're what's wrong with me, oh

Bridge

I'm not feeling like myself
All amber lights and warning bells
I'm not feeling like myself
I'm not hiding it well

Chorus

Went to the doctor and she said I was fine (Said I was fine)
But every movie that I see makes me cry (Just makes me cry)
It's like somebody put a weight on my chest
I should talk to a friend
But I can't get out of bed
My head is spinning and my stomach is sick
Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit
I can't eat, I can't sleep
I think you're what's wrong with me
I think you're what's wrong with me

CAPO: 3

Intro

    

Verse 1

I feel it again, edge of the bed
Body and head protesting
My stomach's in knots, I don't wanna talk
Let's just go to bed or something
Maybe it'll fix itself tomorrow
But I've been saying that like every night

Chorus

You say you can't stand to watch me cry a minute more
So you do the noble thing and open up the door
If loving me means letting go and wishing me the best
Then I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less   

Verse 2

We tried to recreate our favorite date
But we didn't laugh much this time
Our trip to Big Sur only confirmed
This isn't what it should feel like
And maybe I'm a stubborn overthinker
But I've been thinking over this a lot 

Chorus

And I could try convincing you they're just intrusive thoughts
But you've seen me truly happy, so you know right now I'm not
If loving me means crying on the curb at LAX
Well, then I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less   

Instrumental

    
  

Chorus

If loving me means saying, "Babe, I think this is the end"
I guess
I wish, I wish, I wish you loved me less

Verse 1

I met him at a party, I think he was on drugs
He wasn't smart or funny, I convinced myself he was
He had a great apartment and a car his parents bought
I thought that he was perfect, and now his number's blocked

Pre-Chorus

Took a couple months (Took a couple months)
But now I am secure (Now I am secure)
I am so evolved (I am so evolved)
Now I ask for more and more and more and more and more

Chorus

I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for lovin', but, baby, I'm not
Gave my heart with zero stipulations
Now I take careful considеration
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractivе
Past mistakеs are just new information
These days, I've got expectations

Verse 2

So I hit the new year like a single girl at a Vegas bar
Rocking my mini dress with a vodka cran' and an open heart
Yeah, I've got hope, yeah, I've got drive, I will not lose my faith
N.C.
Don't think my future husband's at this bar in Silver Lake

Pre-Chorus

But in a couple months (In a couple months)
A man will be procured (This man will be procured)
He will be evolved (He will be evolved)
And I will be adored, adored, adored, adored, adored

Chorus

I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for lovin', but, baby, I'm not
Gave my heart with zero stipulations
Now I take careful considеration
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractivе
Past mistakеs are just new information
These days, I've got expectations

Bridge

I've got big expectations
I've got real big expectations
I've got big expectations
I've got real big expectations
She's got big expectations
She's got real big expectations
She's got big expectations
She's got real big expectations

Chorus

I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for lovin', but, baby, I'm not
Gave my heart with zero stipulations (Baby, ah)
Now, I take careful consideration (I take, I take)
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractive
Past mistakеs are just new information

Intro

 
    

Verse 1

The cigarette smoke
Is a smell that I know
It clings to my clothes
And seeps into my bones
It's a real quiet house
With the shower left on
Five beers in the fridge and the second car's gone

Pre-Chorus

I regret you
And how long I stayed
I resent you
For not being brave, oh

Chorus

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
You said that I made loving look easy
’Til I made it hard
Give me back my time and I will give you back your heart
I thought that we played the perfect couple
'Til you didn't want the part

Verse 2

Some nights can be
So fucking lonely
But it's better than begging for you to stand up for me, honeybee

Pre-Chorus

I regret you
And what I let slide
I resent you
For taking her side, oh

Chorus

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
You said that I made loving look easy
’Til I made it hard
Give me back my time and I will give you back your heart
I thought that we played the perfect couple
'Til you didn't want the part

Bridge

It’s bone-dry, bitter and hollow
You’ll be miles away tomorrow
Why'd I try at all?
It’s bone-dry, bitter and hollow
You will never know my sorrow
Why'd I try at all?

Outro

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
Ooh, mm, and memories go dark
The memories go dark
The memories go dark
The memories go dark
Go dark
Go dark
