Corduroy jacket vintage eyes and when he touches me
I, I could die
Electric kiss, oh when his lips get close the current it
Takes me back when
We were just friends on Facetime
Who fell in love in the summertime
It’s funny how it works like that, now we’re
Dancing on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It’s late my baby won’t stop staring at me
Sipping on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around me
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball
Let’s take the fire escape I’ll lead the way
As long as you’re by my side, I
Don’t have to worry there’s no hurry
We’ve got hours till daylight mm, right?
I could do this forever
Don’t wanna let a moment pass us by
If we just stay together, now we’re
Dancing on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It’s late my baby won’t stop staring at me
Sipping on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around me
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball
And I wanna live in this forever
Gravity holding me don’t let go
And I wanna live in this forever
Gravity holding me don’t let go
Dancing on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It’s late my baby won’t stop staring at me
Sipping on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around me
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball

Brooklyn

I wanna meet you in a crowded bar in Brooklyn
Dance all night til there’s fairy light on my face
I wanna see you and make shadows with our footsteps
In a crowded bar in Brooklyn
I wanna kiss you would that be okay now with you?
Take our time cuz the night’s got nowhere to go
And in the morning we’ll remember where we stood there
On an empty street in Brooklyn
And so it goes
I’ll write a note stick it in your pocket
Walk me home to my fourth-floor walkup
Whisper in my neck not to let go yet oh and
When I’m alone I’ll hold you like a locket
Next to my heart where you’ll never get lost as
We go through moments we don’t know yet oh yeah
I wanna wake up in my sheets and in your T-shirt
See the sunlight sprinkling gold oh it glows through your eyes
But until then I’ll watch it set over the West and
Send my love to you and Brooklyn
And so it goes
I’ll write a note stick it in my pocket
Think of you in a fourth-floor walkup
Whisper to myself not to let go yet, oh and (don’t let go yet)
For now I’ll hold you close like a locket
Next to my heart where you’ll never get lost and
Go through all the motions of the moments we don’t know yet mm
Mmmm
(Moments we don’t know yet, don’t let go yet)
(Don’t let go yet, don’t let go yet)
I wanna meet you in a crowded bar in Brooklyn
Know it’s you from the moment you look my way
I wanna see you and let it fall into slow motion
In a crowded bar in Brooklyn

Bird of Prey

This is strange, I don’t know how to say it
But I’m a little less numb when I’m with you
Dangerous game that you started playing
Just hope you know what you’re getting into
Bird of prey landing on a lion’s back
How’d you learn to be so fearless like that?
‘Cause you say everything you’re thinking
Without any doubt you hand it to me
And I’m trying to listen
And drown out the sound of my fear surrounding
Stay, if you really want to
Teach me how to keep my two feet grounded
I’m not making plans, no I can’t start
But I’ll keep my eye out for a glow in the dark, oh
Please just be patient with me
I’ve been running on empty
Trying to feel my way back to my heart
I’ll push you away, ‘cause that’s the part that’s easy
No harm, no foul, no messy feelings
But you’re still not leaving
Standing so steady with your arms around me
Stay, all through the night, oh
Show me this is something we should fight for
Mm, I’m not making plans, no I can’t start
But I’ll keep my eye out for a glow in the dark, mm
Please just be patient with me
I get so scared, so easy
Finding my way back to my
I’ll admit you’re on my mind
Far more than I’d like you to be
More than I agreed to feeling
Tell me how’d you get me here?
I’m not making plans, no I can’t start
But I think right there I see a glow in the dark, mm
Please just be patient with me
I need to take this slowly
Finding my way back to my heart, ooh
Finding my way back to my

Hung Up

I bring your name out when no one’s around
Think I could manifest us from the sound
Heard things get real once you say ‘em out loud
Mmmm, mmmm
Cuz I wanna tell you that I want you close
It’s so hard to speak with a knot for a throat
Come and unravel me, say you already know
Tell me that it’s mutual but you’ve been scared to mess it up
(Tell me you want me, when you get lonely)
I’ve been keeping quiet cuz I’m scared I’m gonna say too much
But I’ve been thinking
So what if it’s early
You’re up and I can’t sleep
It’s two in the morning and one call from knowing
Are you hung up on me?
So what if it hurts me
I’m too young to worry
Ten digits away, only six words to say
Are you hung up on me?
Buried my heart cuz I thought I could be
One of those people who don’t really feel
Act on an impulse with no consequence
Stop thinking and thinking all over again so
Tell me that it’s mutual but you’ve been scared to mess it up
(Tell me you want me, when you get lonely)
I’ve been keeping quiet cuz I’m scared I’m gonna say too much but
So what if it’s early
You’re up and I can’t sleep (you’re up and I can’t sleep)
It’s two in the morning and one call from knowing
Are you hung up on me?
So what if it hurts me
I’m too young to worry
Ten digits away, only six words to say
Are you hung up on me?
If this goes down a dead-end road
Know I just wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
And if we break at least we can say
We tried (we tried), we tried (we tried)
If this goes down a dead end road (If we can’t make this last)
Know I just wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
And if we break at least we can say
We tried ooooooh
So, so what if it’s early
You’re up and I can’t sleep
It’s two in the morning and one call from knowing
Are you hung up on me?
So what if it hurts me
I’m too young to worry
Ten digits away, only six words to say
Are you hung up on me?

Call Me on Your Way Home

I know you’re sitting here still
Right on my left side
But could you call me now?
I know it’s only a quarter of a mile
But I want to make sure
That you get home safe
And if you want to get breakfast down on Westwood, text me
When you’re awake
Cuz I already miss you
Even though you’re not gone yet
You still got two weeks on your lease but I keep
Crying in the car and
Maybe we could go for a drive?
One last time to say goodbye to
The city that brought me to you
I’m scared I’ll be lonely, cuz oh I don’t know it without you and
370 miles in the same time zone
Is not too bad I know, I just hope
The distance doesn’t make us distant
Text me when you wake up and call me on your way home
I’ve been thinking ‘bout the summer
Two years ago now
Making dinner in your kitchen with no air conditioning
Leaving the doors open to the whole town
And we went out
You sprained your ankle and I got a little grown up
Doing our makeup on your bedroom floor and getting drunk
Cried to each other ‘bout how much it hurt to be in love
With the wrong one, so
Maybe we could go for a drive?
One last time to say goodbye to
The city that brought me to you
I’m scared I’ll be lonely, cuz oh I don’t know it without you and
370 miles in the same time zone
Is not too bad I know, I just hope
The distance doesn’t make us distant
Text me when you wake up and call me on your way home
All that I want is for you to get all your dreams
I know you’re gonna do big things
And I know it’s not the end of anything
I just hope that you know how much you really mean to me
Maybe we could go for a drive?
One last time, yeah
370 miles, I know I’ll cry right when you go
But I’ll be
Waiting by the phone
So text me when you wake up and call me on your way home
(Call me on your way home)
Mm, call me on your way home
Ooh

Moon shining and the night starts reeling
All hooked up under a Westwood ceiling
Peach New Am as the bass gets louder
Picture in the mirror by the bathroom shower
Oh we’ll never grow up
Keep living this freshman feeling
Oh it’s all about us
It’s all about the rush
Now that you really know me
We’re singing like it’s karaoke
Dancing like the only ones here
Now that you really know me
You took my worries took my lonely
Made all that the old me yeah, yeah
Leave your wallet grab a fake ID
Your problems look smaller when the drinks come free
You could tell me where it all went wrong
Or we could drown it out in your favorite song
Oh we’ll never grow up
Keep living this freshman feeling
Yeah and when it gets tough
You can call me up because
Now that you really know me
We’re singing like it’s karaoke
Dancing like the only ones here
Now that you really know me
You took my worries took my lonely
Made all that the old me yeah, yeah
Oh oh oh oh you made all that the old me, yeah
Oh oh oh oh now that you really know me
I don’t wanna grow up
Keep living this freshman feeling
Now it’s all about us
Let’s take our time, don’t rush
Now that you really know me
You took my worries took my lonely
Made all that the old me yeah, yeah
Oh oh oh oh you made all that the old me yeah
Oh oh oh oh now that you really know me
Oh oh oh oh I’ll never be lonely
Oh oh oh oh now that you really know me
