Who?


Many questions
Linger in the air
A trip, a walk
A speech, we talk
Far off
That’s fine
But I plan so you’re
Mine
And I go

*Who do you need?
Who do you want?
And can I listen to
All of your thoughts
I just wish
That you could be with me
Who do you know?
Who do you see?
I just hope
The answer sets me free_

Just a friendly reminder
That I could be better
I could give you all of my love
If only you told me
What better was
And

*Who do you need?
Who do you want?
And can I listen to
All of your thoughts
I just wish
That you could be with me
Who do you know?
Who do you see?
I just hope
The answer sets me free_

Free from this life of wondering
Can I possibly
Can I maybe
Could it be
That—Wait—that—
Oh do I say it?
That you’ll love me?
…No… It couldn’t be

*Who do I want?
Who do I need?
Who is gonna
Sweep me off my feet?
I just wish
That you could be with me
As long as you promise to love me
Who do I know?
And who do I see?
When I don’t see you with me
It’s just a mystery
Mystery
Who do I need?_

I sit in my room
Put the paper back
I rack my brains
And go through the names
Everyone, seven billion
And you, too
And I wonder who

Where Were You? (Never Let Go)


Holding hands with you
Never let go, ooh
But your palms got sweaty
And you let go of me
Why did you, baby
You let go of me

*Where were you?
When the walls came tumbling down
Where were you?
When all I needed was to be found
I couldn’t resist who
I thought you would be
But know I see
Where were you?
And did you miss me?_

Save me, baby,
Don’t you realize
There’s nothing to realize
Anymore

You weren’t there
I gave you so many chances
But you didn’t care
So when I look around
And you’re not there
I ask, where

*Where were you?
I can’t see you all around
Where were you?
I just wish that you were found
I couldn’t resist who
I thought you would be
But know I see
Where were you?
And did you miss me?_

And did you miss
No—you let go
Not just of my hands
You let go
Of every single plan
And you let go
Of every single memory
And you let go
You let go
Yes, you let go
Of every part of me

*Where were you?
When the walls came tumbling down
Where were you?
I just want you to be found
Where were you?
When the walls came tumbling down?
Where were you?
When all we needed was to be found
I couldn’t resist who
I thought you would be
But know I see
Where were you?
And did you miss me?_

Holding hands you know
Never let go

What Do I Say?


Why did you do this?
Why did you have to ruin it?
We could have been friends, I guess
But now I’m just as bad as

*Where do I go?
What do I say?
Now that everything has gone away?
Now that the words are lost in space
What do I say?_

I should’ve spoken in the moment
In this moment that I saw you
I knew
It was you
I knew
I knew that I would tell the story one day
How you just showed up
Smiling at me
And I flirted
And you flirted back at me
I sorry to my brother
And there’s never been another
One, oh yeah
Never has another boy held my heart
Like you did
Like you did, and so

*Where do I go?
What do I say?
Now that everything has gone away?
Now that the words are lost in space
What do I say?_

How can there not be a poet
Who can describe what I feel for you
I’ve been up and down the prose journals
Looking for something to relate to

*Where do I go?
What do I say?
Now that everything has gone away?
Now that the words are lost in space
What do I say?_

But I’ll talk to you
With another excuse
So desperate, and yet
Even at my worst
Even at my lowest
I am still capable of this, ooh,
I’m still capable of loving you

Never has another boy held my heart
Like it was a speck of dust
More like a shard of glass
You drove through my chest
And I still see your face
I still whisper your words
Hoping the memories never erase
And you’ll remember the days
Before her
Before her

So where do I go?
So what do I say?
Now that my whole life has gone away?
Now that you’re gone away?
Now that the words are lost in space
Before her, before her, I remember your face
What do I say?

Working title: Friends


Walk in, see your best friends
Grab a lei, listen to what they say
You wanna race?Well that’s okay
You’ll beat me ‘cause I’m wearing these tights
Patricia you’re just perfect, alright?

Right here underneath the lights
 You can lose yourself tonight
No past to cry about
No future to worry about
 It's just us, right here, right now

Laughing with all my friends
Oh I don’t want this moment to end
I tell another joke and act like I’m scared
I accuse ping-pong and foosball of not being fair

And I spin around a million times
And for once I'm not on the sidelines
And even people who I've never seen human before
Even they become something more

Right here underneath the lights
 You can lose yourself tonight
No past to cry about
No future to worry about
 It's just us, right here, right now

And we danced all night
Held each other tight
We had the time of our lives
Screaming at the top of our lungs
And agreeing on just one last dance
Because it's our last night forever young
And we'll make this night last forever

Right here underneath the lights
 You can lose yourself tonight
No past to cry about
No future to worry about
 It's just us, right here, right now

Falling in love even when we shouldn’t
Gotta know, I’m not uncomfortable with you
Arm around my shoulder, you’re who
I want
This night I will one day forget
Unless you give me a reason
Please give me a reason to remember
The night I fell for you
The night I fell for you

Right here underneath the lights
 You can lose yourself tonight
No past to cry about
No future to worry about
 It's just us, right here, right now
