I wont be around To cut the ribbon To open your heart And find nothing there You don’t give me a chance And if you do I am afraid Of what I will find What kind of man Do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am You tease me Till I- I find Myself chasing Chasing after you You leave me clues To keep me running Running after you Running after you What kind of man Do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What...What...Whaaaaa What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am What kind of man do you think I am

Good To Me 04:16
You Are lying in Bed I wake up with my arm around you I have never been with anyone as beautiful as you Even Before you got Naked Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it I'm scared That I'm not special But Then I smell the coffee on your breath My stubble left scratches on your chest You Are the best Thing Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it Come back into these sheets I want more Leave the door open Come back into these sheets I want more Leave the door open Come back into these sheets I want more It's you and me You and me You and me You and me I can't take it.. I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me I can't take it Be good to me

Theres no way No way to tell Where I will end up Heaven or hell Looked at everything Asked everyone Its a roller coaster I'm riding shotgun I'm riding shotgun I'm riding shotgun If I had some more time to stay I'll keep doing it my way Theres a place I'd like to go Gotta shake the roof to make it snow If I hear you You'll only stop me Chasing my joy Mine mine mine Flying on a rock I've only got one go Use it my way This is my show This is my show This is my show If I had some more time to stay I'll keep doing it my way Theres a place I'd like to go Gotta shake the roof to make it snow

Play Pretend 03:02
When we stole kisses It was always in corners Hidden in the shadows You liked to keep the rumors Tight spaces in a big rush Feels like we’re building up Your hands say this is love Attention is all you want I see you play pretend You were in love with another I’m a cold blooded mannequin A stand-in kind of lover Come get your smell Out of my car Your hands still on my knee In the karaoke bar Its good to be strangers I’m on my own time Your face is dead to me Didn’t lose my smile I see you play pretend You were in love with another I’m a cold blooded mannequin A stand-in kind of lover

Heavy Lifter 04:30
You put your hand over mine Over mine Like a corkscrew opens wine Opens wine Why don’t you just say I’m not your type Why don’t you just say I’m not your type We’ve been at this for a while Started hot and now my job Feels I'm a heavy lifter I'm a heavy lifter I'm a heavy lifter From your cords to out your lips Out your lips I see the thought but you must say it You must say it Why don’t you just say I’m not your type Why don’t you just say I’m not your type We’ve been at this for a while Started hot and now my job Feels I'm a heavy lifter I'm a heavy lifter I'm a heavy lifter ooooo

Semolina 03:30
A thousand Ships set sail But only one reached the shore And you ooo Jumped out You stood ooo On the sand Short of breath Reaching up At the stars Do you hope one of them Would fall straight In your hands It could happen If you lift Your hand From the sand Adventurous mind You caught the line With no one To see you No one To hold your hand Solitary dreams Of a ruffian Is it everything You wanted? To capture Everyone's hearts? Once you take you know Can't give it back Can't give it back Do you hope one of them Would fall straight In your hands It could happen If you lift Your hand From the sand

It’s the end of the road You can Slow down But it won’t Stop you From running Out Of Gas Look at the sky it’s turning Red from the dust You stirred Up From the dust you stirred up It’s these feelings You can’t let go That you will lose You’ll be stranded It’s your fault You’ll sink to the bottom No one cares but you No one cares but you No one cares but you A little further Relief is right around the corner But you argue with the man He’s done all he can He’s done all he can And you’re ungrateful, suspicious That more is about to go wrong More is about to go wrong More is about to go wrong It’s these feelings You can’t let go That you will lose You’ll be stranded It’s your fault You’ll sink to the bottom And no one cares but you No one cares but you No one cares but you

Inside Out 02:40
Your gentle touch is too much I feel resentful and I lash out Inside out The pain is inside out Darling you make me bleed Bleed it out There’s a feeling I’m trying to reach Trying to read myself I don’t feel like myself Inside out The pain is inside out Darling you make me bleed Bleed it out We were eating tacos You were feeling nachos I put my head down I was feeling let down I Counted to four We were already at the door You came inside We were hungry no more Inside out The pain is inside out Darling you make me bleed Bleed it out My pain The strain I just wanna close my eyes

Rabbithole 00:54
Follow me to the rabbithole Swallow me like you've never done before Follow me to the rabbithole Swallow me like you've never done before Rustle the leaves
