Forget Me
02:39

I guess I shouldn't be surprised
You've got both my hands tied
Whenever you're around me
You're a sorcerer still
Hard to heal when every word's a kill
And each syllable resounding
It's pretty telling
When radio silence makes for the best weeks
So maybe, oh baby, the best thing to say is to forget me
Yeah maybe, oh baby, the best thing to say is to forget me
I can't pretend
Feels like playing chess to call you friend
It should be fun, but it's exhausting
I hope you know this hurts
Whole point of this was so I wouldn't do all the work
Not gonna let this cost me
I'm down to try something
But if it won't click when the lady sings,
Then maybe, oh baby, the best thing to say is to forget me
Yeah maybe, oh baby, the best thing to say is to forget me
Oh because no matter how much I miss ya
Oh baby boy, it hurts more when I'm with ya
Can't open the lock if you don't have the key
But maybe there's more in life to see...
Just forget me.
You're not mine
I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

Crushed

I only have eyes for you
Well, maybe that’s not true
But I really like you
And like 19 other dudes
But it’s a feeling I chase
To be wrapped in your embrace
Or maybe anyone, in my case
Or maybe I like being debased
You take up a corner of my mind
Next to the spots other guys occupy
But maybe you could be the first to give it a try…
So give me a sign!
Tell me just how you feel
Sugarcoat that desperate guys don’t have any sex appeal
(Give me a sign!)
Reciprocate my love
I know we just met, but surely that’s not asking too much?
No wait, hold up, know what? Just hush
I’m already crushed
I like the idea of this
But, baby it’d be bliss
If you could call it a near miss
Pretend like I’m someone you wanted to kiss
‘Cause I like the rush
Of knowing I’m almost enough
That I’m someone who could be loved
If I could ever learn to let up
But that won’t be happening anytime soon
I’m hooked on perfecting the art of the swoon
Clinging to the concept that at some opportune time…
You’ll give me a sign!
Tell me just how you feel
Sugarcoat that desperate guys don’t have any sex appeal
(Give me a sign!)
Reciprocate my love
I know we just met, but surely that’s not asking too much?
No wait, hold up, know what?
I’m already crushed
(I only have eyes for you)

Au Feu
03:22

La vie est si pleine des beaux rêves et bien le regret
Ces nuits dans les rues de Paris, je ne veux pas oublier
Encore et encore je déplore le souvenir de ton sourire
Mais je garde les vestiges, pour le meilleur ou le pire
Mais non, tout sera bon, il y aura le suivant
Oui, l’eau présente dans des larmes est le même dans l’encre
Donc, je n’arrêterai pas de chanter, c’est mon aveu
Même si je me brûle les ailes, je survivrai, j’en mettrais ma main au feu
Mes rêves sont si pleins de vie, ma vie qui je commence à regretter
Mon amour endure, je ne fais pas les choses à moitié
La douleur, elle arrive en vagues, comme les fleuves autour
Je suis bien durant la journée, mais la nuit, je ne suis pas sûr
Mais non, tout sera bon, il y aura le suivant
Oui, l’eau présente dans des larmes est le même dans l’encre
Donc, je n’arrêterai pas de chanter, c’est mon aveu
Même si je me brûle les ailes, je survivrai, j’en mettrais ma main au feu
La vie est si pleine des beaux rêves et bien le regret
Ces nuits dans les rues de Paris, je ne veux pas oublier
Je n’sais pas pourquoi je rêve de mon ancien vœu
Je vis, et bien vive la vie, c’est tout duquel j’ai besoin
J’en mettrais ma main au feu

Simulacrum
03:19
|

I never knew what to do
When I was around you,
It's like I could see you break
I never knew what to say
Neither did you
That's why you walked away
It just won't leave my brain
Oh, was all of this fake?
Is it a question of if I'm okay
If you never had a heart to break?
I suppose our lips touched
I suppose we smiled like it was enough
But everything I said was "too much"
What the fuck?
I suppose we had some fun
But just playing the game doesn't mean you've won
I suppose, I suppose, when push comes to shove
We went through the motions of love
But something never did quite add up
We went through the motions of love
But we were at best a test run
You were my simulacrum
Is this how it all feels?
Almost like nothing's real?
Almost like it's a dream
That you dared to believe?
Almost like you were close
But he went comatose
So you're learning to cope
Saving shatters of hope?
I suppose our lips touched
I suppose we smiled like it was enough
But everything I said was "too much"
What the fuck?
I suppose we had some fun
But just playing the game doesn't mean you've won
I suppose, I suppose, when push comes to shove
We went through the motions of love
But something never did quite add up
We went through the motions of love
But we were at best a test run
You were my simulacrum

Forbidden

Hello
We're just friends, I know
I wanna take this down so many roads
But I won't let it show
I could lie and say that I don't think about you all the time
But really you're all that's ever on my mind
I give you all my love, and I can't quit it
Just for a hint of something I can blow out of proportion
So until if becomes when
This love will remain
Forbidden
Just walk on by, let me savor that your presence is nigh
Something about your charm captivates me every time
'Cause I could lie and say I don't think about you all the time
(Mendacious words spilling from this sinful mouth of mine)
But really you're all that's ever on my mind
(Please darling, give me a sign!)
I give you all my love, and I can't quit it
Just for a hint of something I can blow out of proportion
So until if becomes when
This love will remain
I want you to want me
Even if just for a day
I'd give you anything
Just to feel my body in your embrace
How can something that's so much fun
Cause so much grief and pain?
Ever so close
And yet so far away
(Just too far away)
I give you all my love, and I can't quit it...
I give you all my love, and I can't quit it
(It's unrequited but I can't fight it)
Just for a hint of something I can blow out of proportion
(Fabricating notions and emotions)
So until if becomes when
(I swear that it will happen)
This love will remain
Forbidden
(Please please please give this a chance chance chance
You know that I want to be more more more than friends)
Hello
We're just friends, I know.

Warm (Demo)

I guess this always was the plan
You and I were mismatched
We were a scenic but ultimately useless path
I guess there was nothing left to do
I was losing you
But I didn't want to admit the truth
It's unfair, baby
To keep me hanging on the line
It's unfair, baby
Yeah, you're in the wrong this time
'Cause I just want a text goodnight
Once in a while
When I say I love you and you're mine
He gives me a smile
He doesn't even have to say back
After you, I could live with that, oh
Where sweet nothings are nothing, and not performed
I just need something warm
Oh, I said, "Stay with me"
"Remain here with me"
I watched and prayed
"Stay with me"
"Remain here with me"
I watched and prayed
But it's not you I'm praying for anymore
No, it's not you I'm praying for anymore
I need something warm...
