I'm Not In Love

I swear I don’t, don’t picture your eyes
A hazel gold that’d make the sun cry
I don’t remember your torn up sweatshirt
I’m sleeping in every night
I don’t relive that night at the bar
When our friends all left, and we stayed in the dark
It’s not a problem, yeah I’ve forgotten
How perfect I fit in your arms
All the best things hurt in the end
So I’d rather just pretend
I’m not in love
No, I’m not that stupid
‘Cause if this was something to have
I could lose it
Let’s keep it fun
Falling is dangerous
And if I gave you my heart
You could break it
That’d hurt too much
So I’m not in love
We’re just convenient
A casual affair
I don’t flash back to
That kiss on the stairs
When you call me pretty
It doesn’t hit me
Like a blizzard in mid-July
All the best things hurt in the end
So I’d rather just pretend
I’m not in love
No, I’m not that stupid
‘Cause if this was something to have
I could lose it
Let’s keep it fun
Falling is dangerous
And if I gave you my heart
You could break it
That’d hurt too much
So I’m not in love
I’m not in love
Ooooh
Rather be numb
Ooooh
I’m not in love
Ooooh
Rather be numb
Ooooh
I’m not in love
I’m in denial
I’ll say it’s nothing, I’m not a bad liar
Let’s keep it fun
Falling is dangerous
And if I gave you my heart
You could break it
That’d hurt too much
So I’m not in love
I’d lie if I was
No I’m not in love

Who Would've Thought
03:56

I know you’re gonna call me cliché
But I just wanna say
That I’m not going anywhere any time soon
Unless it’s with you
Yeah I’m already on my way
And I know that it’s new
But I think I’m starting to trip into falling
Would you say you are too?
‘Cause we’ve been busy lying to ourselves
Swearing it would never work
Promising that we were just friends
It’s funny how it doesn’t make sense
And then it does
Spin me on the sidewalk going home
Tell me this is yours and mine alone
Ooooh
And then it comes
Burning through me brighter than it was
Dancing like we’re both low-key in love
Ooooh
Who would’ve thought that it would’ve been you
If I could change a single thing about you
I don’t think I would
And I may be saying these things
Sooner than I probably should
But I love the crinkles by your eyes
Whenever you smile
I don’t think that I’m ever gonna get tired of this
Oh no, it’s funny how it doesn’t make sense
But then it does
Spin me on the sidewalk going home
Tell me this is yours and mine alone
Ooooh
And then it comes
Burning through me brighter than it was
Dancing like we’re both low-key in love
Ooooh
Who would’ve thought that it would’ve been you
Let’s lay here ‘til the morning
Running through the moments
The two of us were just too dumb to even notice
The way that we were feeling
You were always here but
I guess sometimes it doesn’t make sense
Until it does
Kiss me on the stairs before you go
Is this a way you’ve ever felt before?
Oooh, oooh
‘Cause here it comes
Burning through me brighter than it was
Dancing like we might just be in love
Ooooh
Who would’ve thought that it would’ve been you

Lost Cause

I really shouldn’t think of you as an exception
Tell myself you were sleeping so you missed my message
And it’s okay that what we are’s a constant question
Anyway
Put down a boundary just to cross it back and kiss you
Loosening loopholes that I’m only gonna trip through
The logical part of my brain knows it’s an issue
Anyway
I’m raising the sound on the TV
Try to drown out the way that I’m feeling
I care too much and you try too little
I’m saying love and you’re non-committal
I’m hanging on and I’m hoping it’ll
Grow but I know
It’s a lost cause
But then there you go with your arms around me
Making it seem like you’re not just lonely
And I pretend that it’s me and me only
Oh, but I know
It’s a lost cause
I really feel like there’s something that you’re resisting
You’re scared of hurting so you keep it at a distance
That’s what I tell myself it kinda makes a difference
Anyway
I’m raising the sound on the TV
Try to drown out the way that I’m feeling
I care too much and you try too little
I’m saying love and you’re non-committal
I’m hanging on and I’m hoping it’ll
Grow but I know
It’s a lost cause
But then there you go with your arms around me
Making it seem like you’re not just lonely
And I pretend that it’s me and me only
Oh, but I know
It’s a lost cause
Can’t help feeling like this might be something
(Oh, but I know, it’s a lost cause)
Dead end but I keep the car running
(Oh, but I know, it’s a lost cause)
There I go again making something out of nothing
(Oh, but I know, it’s a lost cause)
Dead end but I keep the car running

Uncalled For
03:40
|

I walked past, hoping you’d notice
Your attention tears at my focus
And I thought about it for a week
How you said you were asking your friends about me
I feel myself losing composure
Mm, mmmm
Kissed me in my dark apartment
And I said I didn’t like the way that I like how it feels
Do you hold my words and play them back
Or have you already forgotten about that?
I’m just wondering what I should prepare for
This situation’s uncalled for
I fell asleep in your arms
You’d be the worst thing to fall for
It’s too bad I have habits of choosing the wrong ones like you
Oh it’s too bad I have habits
If I keep letting you closer
I’ll fold your red flags into roses
Little Miss Feels Too Damn Much (I feel too much)
Already forgetting this couldn’t be love
I won’t make it more than what’s in the moment
This situation’s uncalled for
I’m wide awake when you’re gone
You’d be the worst thing to fall for
It’s too bad I have habits of choosing the wrong ones like you
Oh it’s too bad I have habits
You put your lips on my forehead
I’m doing my best to just forget
Don’t give me more than your weekends
Or I’ll start feeling
This situation’s uncalled for
I’m better off going numb
You’d be the worst thing to fall for
It’s too bad I have habits of choosing the wrong ones like you
Oh it’s too bad I have habits that’ll lead me to falling for you

Down the Line
02:45
|

|
I’m obsessed with wanting to make you jealous
Yeah I guess I hope that you feel a little possessive
It only drags me further into you
Self-sabotage is what I do the best
Said we’re friends seconds before you kissed me
Dirty dancing, I don’t remember the song
You told me my words and how my body moved
Were saying different things to you, I bet
If I wanted to I’d get over you in a second
But I stand in my way, guess I like the pain
Of the ups and downs
You can’t do this now, you want me around
Are you gonna love me down the line?
Down the line
While you’re out I’m turning you into poetry
Write about the moments it felt kinda real
It isn’t fair I have to care this much
What’s the percent I take up in your mind?
If I wanted to I’d get over you in a second
But I stand in my way, guess I like the pain
Of the ups and downs
You can’t do this now, you want me around
Are you gonna love me down the line?
Down the line
Are you gonna love me?
Are you gonna love me?
Are you thinking of me?
Ohhhhh
Are you gonna love me?
Are you gonna love me?
Are you thinking of me?
Ohhhhh
If I wanted to I’d get over you in a second
Don’t know why I stay, guess I like the pain
Of the ups and downs
You can’t do this now, you want me around
Are you gonna love me down the line
Down the line
Ooooh
(Are you gonna love me)
(Down the line)

One More Hit
02:44
|
|||
|
I hate the way
I obsess and overestimate
And analyze your mental state
And where your heart is at these days
I make mistakes
And I fall to fill the blank in
Maybe if I could be patient
All these midnights won’t be wasted on the game
I’m bound to lose
Call my mom or call my bluff
I’m hooked on all the wrong kinds of love
I find heaven in the way we move
I wanna get a little bit lost with you
Meet me after two and get your fix
One more hit of you and then I’ll quit
I blame my ways
On the fairytales that raised me
And the princesses that gave me
Unrealistic expectations to be young
And meet the one
That even beasts can learn to love
I memorized the goddamn playbook
It convinced me I can change them if I try
I’m bound to lose
Call my mom or call my bluff
I’m hooked on all the wrong kinds of love
I find heaven in the way we move
I wanna get a little bit lost with you
C’mon baby come and get your fix
One more hit of you and then I’ll quit
Addicted to romanticizing
Keep my vices in disguise and when
I undress, I feel lonely again
Red wine haze, repeat the pattern
Just for now I’m falling back it’s only
One more hit
Call my mom, call my bluff
I’m hooked on all the wrong kinds of love
I find heaven in the way we move
I wanna get a little bit lost with you
C’mon baby come and get your fix
One more hit of you and then I’ll quit
