Magic Stone 03:33
How can a sun be born out of a moon How could she shine when my color is blue Is there a word bigger than love This is the place where I’m finally enough How could she shine so bright that it hurts She’s like a fire out in the summer woods Deep down in the forest I find her in cave Glowing like a magic stone Pick her up and take her home And I’ve been on this journey all my life I’ve been down but now I feel so high And not like them bad drugs No this feels so divine I wanna scream it Shout it all the time How could she shine so bright that it hurts She’s like a fire out in the summer woods Deep down in the forest I find her in cave Glowing like a magic stone Pick her up and take her home I couldn’t love you more Something would break if I did My heart is in overload Over this

Burger 02:58
Eating a burger alone in the sun Raging anxiety and I’m all alone Three hours from drinking To feel anything I’m outside the venues While they’re sound checking What is the point of this? Somebody asked me and I didn’t know what to say What’s the point of this? I guess chasing the dream was a big mistake When I go to sleep in the car the next day I keep on moving my restless legs I pretend that I live in all the houses that we pass Try not to think about that times goes by fast FaceTimeing backstage I can’t hear a word I can just see them move in slow motion It’s like I could smell her little head trough the phone But she’s with her daddy and I’m all alone What is the point of this? Somebody asked me and I didn’t know what to say What’s the point of this? I guess chasing the dream was a big mistake What is the point of this? Somebody asked me and I didn’t know what to say What’s the point of this? I guess chasing the dream was a big mistake Big mistake

Could you imagine getting dragged out on a field Laying there cold and confused in a Halloween costume Out on the country side With no parents around Only mad boys allowed Everyone I knew didn’t know me And I swear When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here, I’ll be a Sad girl Could you imagine giving head in the backseat As a sign of gratitude for driving you home safe Out on the country side Right by the train rails Running from wild dogs Everyone I knew didn’t know me And I swear When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here I’ll be a mad woman When I get out of here, I’ll be a Sad girl Mad woman Mad woman Mad woman

Belly Shots 02:35
I was on my way to the top, yeah Crowd-surfing on my back, yeah Champagne, cherry on the top, yeah Hotel rooms, riding in the front, yeah But I was always dreaming about something else I was always hungover and sad in that place I was always dreaming about something else And when I closed my eyes, I could see you I was on my way to the top, yeah Jerking off to pictures of myself, yeah Cocaine party and I was going topless Heavy drinking, belly shots, yeah But I was always dreaming about something else I was always hungover and sad in that place I was always dreaming about something else And when I close my eyes, I can see you When I close my eyes, I can see you When I close my eyes, I can see you When I close my eyes, I can see you When I close my eyes, I can see you I was on my way to the top, yeah

I was on the road It was midnight I was not alone You were inside There came a heatwave I was crying Had to keep going Felt I was dying Sweating in my night gown I walked into the field Felt I was going crazy With my body full of fear Your daddy is the sweetest Kindest man I know Holds me when I’m hurting And say I can’t go on His warm hands on my belly Not scarred for the unknown Patient like an angel Makes me feel like home There came a heatwave I was crying Had to keep going Felt I was dying Sweating in my night gown I walked in to the field Felt I was going crazy With my body full of fear This is my nightmare It’s a beautiful dream I can’t wait Wait until we meet

Mercedes 02:56
I come from a broken family I hope that my baby can make it heal I’ve been pregnant for nine weeks Feels like I’ve been waiting for a year It gets heavy when I stand up So tired when I lay myself down I’ve been getting nightmares Scared that you won’t stay around Mercedes is that your name? Mercedes I never wanna cause you any pain And I can feel it washing over me Anticipation what I’m about to see Mercedes you can always run to me I come from a different kind of place A kind of place where you leave and you don’t stay I have been pregnant for nine weeks now I feel like I’ve been waiting for a year It gets heavy when I stand up So tired when I lay myself down I’ve been getting nightmares Scared that you won’t stay around Mercedes is that your name? Mercedes I never wanna cause you any pain And I can feel it washing over me Anticipation what I’m about to see Mercedes you can always run to me You can always run to me

Bridge 02:54
There’s a bridge in my town Where some people goes up to jump I thought about it many times But I always pussied out somehow I can feel it in the wind Salty pieces from the ocean blowing in You know it’s time for a change When you’re pushing 30 but feel the same I tried to get out of here once We drove all the way and I was gone I stayed with the kindest man in town But I broke his heart and he broke mine I use to be a wild one Alice party I got naked and drunk I’m not embarrassed by it now But when it happen I thought I was gonna die Looking back at us now 21 and still miss her smile I see her walking down the street But now I am older and she’s still young to me I tried to get out of here once We drove all the way and I was gone I stayed with the kindest man in town But I broke his heart and he broke mine

I want it it all The baby and the boy I want it all The fame but not the fall Is it to much to ask for Well maybe it is Ever since Since I was a kid I wanted to Be famous and rich But who am I To ask for all this Sunny Philadelphia On the TV screen I cover my windows so they can’t see me My body is changing now every week And I’m not ready for my baby In another life I would wake up content Go to my job Then take the bus home again I would cherish all the small things I would make you feel good I regret it all All the shit I ever said About other girls That’s how you make your own bed So sorry if I hurt anyone By acting this way Sunny Philadelphia On the TV screen I cover my windows so they can’t see me My body is changing every week And I’m not ready for my baby

First time she got sick It was just a fever But I imaged her when she was old And what I saw was beautiful When I pushed her out I could hear my heart beat The greatest love I ever felt And the pain didn’t even hurt me The night sky Turned in to a bright sky Clear blue morning light Outside that hospital window My whole body Clinging to his hands so tight And I could see my whole life Passing under my closed eyes And what I saw was beautiful First time she got sick It was just a fever I do my best to comfort her Cause when she cries it hurts me too When I saw her eyes Dark just like the ocean The greatest love I ever felt And the pain didn’t really hurt me The night sky Turned in to a bright sky Clear blue morning light Outside my hospital window My whole body Hanging to his hands so tight And I could see my whole life Passing under my closed eyes And what I saw was beautiful

I feel like the worst worst mom today You screamed all night And you probably gonna cry all day And I’ll run you a bath Trying to start all over again But nothing really works I feel like the worst mom today You came out of my body Every part of it changed Now everything is hurting I can’t even walk the same I can’t fit in my old shoes Stuck in this sad baby blues And I feel like the worst mom today I don’t even know where I end and you begin I don’t even know who I am without you I don’t even know where I end and you begin I don’t even know who I am without you Funny how they say time moves so fast I should be more grateful Make every second last But man I’m so tired All I wanna do is sleep Every day is Groundhog Day All we do is on repeat But when you smile It feels just like sunshine How hard it hits me Just like the first time I don’t even know where I end and you begin I don’t even know who I am without you I don’t even know where I end and you begin All I know is that I love you Hey
