Escalator 04:04
lyrics

If we’re not dating I can’t be friends If you’re debating This needs to start or end Just let me know... I can just go Dropped you off tonight A peck on the cheek It still felt right Though it was kinda weak This is way too slow… Yeah we both know I wanna take a few more steps But you’re still at the bottom We don’t need to climb the top But either give me some or none Can we take the escalator You say going to fast will ruin I say instead of waiting ‘til later Why not soon Why not soon I lost my first love And still feel the pain Don’t know what it’s made of But it left a stain With all the baggage around… I was but I’m found I wanna take a few more steps But you’re still at the bottom We don’t need to climb the top But either give me some or none Can we take the escalator You say going to fast will ruin I say instead of waiting ‘til later Why not soon Why not soon As you leave my bedroom Is there room In your heart I wanna take a few more steps But you’re still at the bottom We don’t need to climb the top But either give me some or none Can we take the escalator You say going to fast will ruin I say instead of waiting ‘til later Why not soon Why not soon

You think, "why try hard to impress?" When in the end... nothing matters I might get in a bigger mess But you know I’m still climbing ladders I gotta get higher, though I’m trying my best, you know I came here to win so Have to let me in, no? You say I aim too high You think so low If you never ask why, you’ll Never ever know Wooah oooh oohh... In the end, if there’s nothing else At least we had our fortunes Wooah oooh oohh... On MTV Cribs, I’ll show my house We’re not quite through Check out all these rooms Salesmen know what’s really up Oh, they’re making trends By faking friends Is it fate, can it be luck? Or is it whatever we pretend? Does making a million Mean that you win Never a hasbeen Always a linchpin You say I aim too high You think so low If you never ask why, you’ll Never ever know Wooah oooh oohh... In the end, if there’s nothing else At least we had our fortunes Wooah oooh oohh... On MTV Cribs, I’ll show my house We’re not quite through Check out all these rooms What happens when it goes According to plan Oh, how’s the soul Of the materialistic man? You say I aim too high ‘Cause you think so low If you never ask why You’ll never ever know Ooh oh... Wooah oooh oohh... In the end, when there’s nothing else At least we had our fortunes Wooah oooh oohh... On MTV Cribs, I’ll show my house We’re not quite through We’re not quite through Check out all these rooms

California Looks Good 04:35
lyrics

Someday we're all gonna fade Like the blue in your jeans You wear everyday When I make it to the top Using any means To get my way American dreams They say California Looks good on ya Pack your bags and go Through the mountains To the sunset glow I'm off to win Goodbye Boston Here I go Some day we're all gonna die But like the plants on the deck Why are we alive Since I moved for a new life I just couldn't let Myself be the guy That you’ll forget They say California Looks good on ya Pack your bags and go Through the mountains To the sunset glow I'm off to win Goodbye Boston Here I go Huuuh uhhhh I'm here winning now But my head’s spinning round But no more falling down They say California Looks good on ya Pack your bags and go Through the mountains To the sunset glow Yeah, I'm off to win Goodbye Boston Here I go I'm off to win Goodbye Boston Here I go Hmmmm Here I go

No Vacancy 03:47
lyrics

Thought we had it going on We're just friends Couldn't have been more wrong Flings that don't start can't end And that's alright Yeah it’s alright I’m still gonna meet the one I’ve been here waiting For that special one to come So if you're debating I'm here all night Been here all night If there's no vacancy Why's your heart empty There's no room for me The sign’s flashing bright Even in daylight There's no room for me No vacancy No room for me Left your place now I'm confused Changed your mind Questions like an interview Oh look at the time... This doesn’t feel right Hope we’ll be alright If there's no vacancy Why's your heart empty There's no room for me The sign’s flashing bright Even in daylight There's no room for me No vacancy No room for me Just give me, just give me Just give me, just give me Just give me a chance You and me, you and me Both on E, high on E Let’s just go dance There's no vacancy Your heart is empty There's no room for me The sign’s flashing bright Even in daylight There's no room for me No vacancy No room for me

Nothing From You 03:35
lyrics
download
Where the hell have you been It's been a few days Thought it was a win Guess I was wrong Now I’m all alone getting blazed It was so abrupt I just slept over your place Did you have enough? Was I too much? I’m more than a handsome face You could have called Could have texted That was all I expected But I... I heard nothing from you Maybe it’s true I’m overreacting But what should I do This is so distracting 'Cause I... I heard nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you You see my bloodshot eyes Not just from getting high You weren’t by my side Didn’t feel right You make me come alive Tonight we'll see the play At least that was the plan On my mind all day Will you even show And be proud that I'm your man As you hold my hand You could have called Could have texted That was all I expected But I... I heard nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you God, if you're up above I don’t wanna be a fool for love At least not like before Promise I won't give up I’m not just looking for another quick fuck At least not anymore... (Not anymore) Said not anymore (Not anymore) I’m such a whore You could have called Could have texted That was all unexpected. But I... I heard nothing from you What did you do? Anything sketchy? Are you through? Done with me 'Cause I... I got nothing from you I would still stay Even if you’re sketchy You’d have your way… with me But I… I got nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you Nothing from you

Constellation 03:52
lyrics

How did it all just slip away We went bed, you were gone the next day Ever since that day I've been lost I'll find my way but at higher cost Even the way we met Feels like there's something else and we're set A year and a half was so quick You had my heart with the tight grip For once the stars aligned I felt it in my heart For once I didn't mind If everything else fell apart Wooo oooo ooooo I knew we won Wooo oooo ooooo It was something- Like a constellation I'm really nothing without you My friends say that I'll move on but is it true 27 was way too soon Gonna keep your clothes and everything from your room For once the stars aligned I felt it in my heart For once I didn't mind If everything else fell apart Wooo oooo ooooo I knew we won Wooo oooo ooooo It was something- Like a constellation I'm in New York On the train Trying to distract myself from thIs pain The skyscrapers Stand so tall Blocking out the sun as the darkness falls For once the stars aligned I felt it in my heart For once I didn't mind If everything else fell apart Wooo oooo ooooo I knew we won Wooo oooo ooooo It was something- Like a constellation

The Critic 03:51
lyrics
download
There’s a critic in the room, I don’t like it one bit They’re everywhere, I pretend not to care Just let me have a fit Those judgmental eyes, and dirty lies They’re all staring at me I wanna be in the spotlight Just not judged constantly Don’t judge me Or show me what I’m doing wrong One day you’ll see And then you’ll be singing my song You’re just waiting for me to screw up, aren’t you? You wouldn’t be able to do what I do And you know it’s true Pessimism boils in all your major arteries You feed off those negative energies To be pleased Don’t judge me Or show me what I’m doing wrong One day you’ll see And you’ll be singing my song Judgmental eyes, stare me down, I can’t escape Bad publicity, a good deal for you, where’s your dignity No, I won’t go So don’t even pretend that you know I did so well But at one point I fell Your judgmental eyes see through me Inside my heart beats In my mind, my thoughts race The journalist defeats Don’t judge me Or show me what I’m doing wrong One day you’ll see And then you’ll be singing all along It’s a job for you That pays the rent If it were up to me You wouldn’t make a cent I’ll move on and be strong Even though you’re wrong Forgive and forget, I’ll try Just tell me why

Where'd You Go 04:24
lyrics

You're on my mind Almost all the time I know that you would Have stayed and fought With all those laughs now Sleepless nights I stay up late 'Cause I miss you a lot But is there some other plan That I try to understand But I can't wrap my head around Trying to move on Just playing Lana songs I hear it’s peaceful when you drown Where’d you go on me Didn't know you’d be Gone so soon 2 years later I've ...I’ve got haters Success was something I couldn't stop You were there with me Through struggles It’s clear to see that now You help me a lot But is there some other plan That I try to understand But I can't wrap my head around Trying to move on Just playing Lana songs I hear it’s peaceful when you drown Where’d you go on me Didn't know you’d be Gone so soon And I pray In my own way Not to a God but to you You wouldn’t say You couldn’t stay If there's no God there's still you When I pray I hear you say I should talk more to you Not far away You’re here to stay If there's no God, There's still you There’s some other plan I pretend to understand But I can't wrap my head around Where’d you go on me Didn't know you’d be Where’d you go on me Didn't know you’d be Gone so soon

Body Heat 04:16
lyrics
download
I know that we can work this out Still trying to feel what you’re about But months couldn’t go by Without something there You send me mixed messages No wrecking ball just sledges Stay by my side ‘Cause I truly care You’re lying down Passing out As I look around Wondrin’ about Woah oh oh oh oh You and me I’m gonna lie here Hold you tight Don’t make me leave, dear Won’t be right Let’s cuddle in your bed tonight And just go to sleep Not gonna let you out of my sight If you’re not here in my life I can’t move on it won’t feel right ‘Cause I need your body heat Come sleep... Feel my body heat Friends wonder why I carry on Everyone’s got problems- what’s so wrong? I know that you’ll change And become better You don’t wanna define this When I pull you closer, you resist And I feel the pain ‘Cause that’s not how things were You’re lying here And nothing’s clear ‘Cept the thing that I fear If love’s not near Woah oh oh oh oh You and me I’m gonna lie here Hold you tight Don’t make me leave, dear Won’t be right Let’s cuddle in your bed tonight And just go to sleep Not gonna let you out of my sight If you’re not here in my life I can’t move on it won’t feel right ‘Cause I need your body heat Come sleep... Feel my body heat I don’t want to scare you off But I never felt like this before about anyone So how about we never stop At least for now I don’t ever want this to be done Gonna lie here Hold you tight Don’t make me leave, dear Won’t be right Let’s cuddle in your bed tonight And just go to sleep Not gonna let you out of my sight If you’re not here in my life I can’t move on it won’t feel right Said I can’t move on it won’t be right I know that we’ll work this out Still tryin’ to learn what you’re about But for now I need your body heat

Keep Going 04:34
lyrics

If you use some sense and connect the dots Realize how much better off you are Don’t aim just start taking a bunch of shots Eventually you will go very far When you fall like a Icarus once did Falling doesn’t count- it’s how fast you lift ‘Member how brave you were as a kid That fearlessness is now a gift When you fly close to the sun When all you want is to be number one When your wings burn from the fire Get back up (back up) and fly higher You gotta keep going Without exactly knowing Keep going... going... going... going Keep going... going... going... going If you say to yourself “I can’t do that” Well I have news, you never will You’ll live your life in constant combat Unnecessarily climbing a hill But if you say “fuck it let’s do it!” Nothing will bother you one bit ‘Cause success, it doesn’t have any logic So there’s no need to think about it When you fly close to the sun When all you want is to be number one When your wings burn from the fire Get back up (back up) and fly higher You gotta keep going Without exactly knowing Keep going... going... going... going Keep going... going... going... going Too much emphasis On nice cars That’s just how it is It’s how we are In a big business You’re the Czar No more buses Just the SLR When you fly close to the sun When all you want is to be number one When your wings burn from the fire Get back up (back up) and fly higher You gotta keep going Without exactly knowing Keep going... going... going... going Keep going... going... going... going Without ever know Keep going... keep going Without exactly knowing Keep going... keep going ... going
