I have a knack for getting men to lie next to me in bed I tell the truth but mostly waste their time with stories in my head and the shoes that I wear are so worn all the clothes that i hoard are too dear And I haven't felt this good before without feeling sick after words let's take a trip we'll see if we can fly i'm gonna jump in first coz i have a knack for bending space and time but this is gonna hurt and I can't guarantee that we'll come back And if we do you your heart won't be in tact But we can't stay here coz we don't stand still… Not for anyone not for any thrill so let's not stay here and fall in love we'll only fall out again and you'll go all weird INSTRUMENTAL …never catch up, never catch up with us never catch up, never gonna catch us up (repeat) I have a knack for faking things are fine when everything's a mess I got your back but you have got to try coz this is not a test so please take a risk and come with me coz there's so many things you're got to see we can't stay here coz I don't stand still not for any thrill...

Your Face 03:38
I fell for your face but your face isn't real it's just made up of traces of how I long to feel gone are the days of waves in my hair and all the ways i'd hold you but But love love love is not for me it's just a game you see i'm free i'm just not made up that way I dance dance dance around this room i'll make you smile you'll make me swoon and if you do I will stay a little longer but you know in the morning you will go and all of this will simply slip away but i won't-no not even for a moment let's try and stay awake 'cause I fell for your face from the moment we met I fell for this taste this taste to forget gone are the days that I used to fall into a daze to know you but But love love love is not for me it's just a game you see i'm free i'm just not made up that way I dance dance dance around this room i'll make you smile I hope it's soon and if you do I will stay a little longer but you know in the morning you will go and all of this will simply slip away but i won't-no not even for a moment let's try and stay awake And first love's trouble for the ones who always walk above where sometimes hearts will come undone before our heads catch up we've no chance of staying up here this slow dance will take us dear But love love love is not for me it's just a game you see i'm free i'm just not made up that way I dance dance dance around this room i'll make you smile you'll make me swoon and if you do I will stay a little longer but you know in the morning you will go and all of this will simply slip away but i won't-no not even for a moment let's try and stay awake I fell for your face but your face isn't real it's just made up of traces of how I long to feelvgg

Keep Her 03:10
Here’s a song for anyone Who’s lost themselves and come undone And dulled the lust til it was love It’s better to be numb None will show what time has tried Til someone’s heart becomes their mind She’s just like everyone outside What damage can she hide --chorus-- And just when you’ve done all you can to break her Take her by the hand and tell her that you love her Tell her she’s magi cal Don’t break her bones use words instead You’ve got to get inside her head To keep her by your side in bed -- Here’s the girl so full of guilt And here’s the house that promise built This is the word that kept her still That lay her back to rest Here’s the maiden all forlorn You kiss her just when trust is worn The past so easy to ignore She’s torn -- And just when you’ve done all you can to break her Take her by the hand and tell her that you love her Tell her she’s magi cal Don’t break her bones use words instead You’ve got to get inside her head To keep her by your side in bed -- Here’s a song for anyone Who’s torn her down then built her up But these mistakes can’t be undone Don’t follow when she runs

This Boy 02:38
This Boy I felt him under my brains and then I tried to pick him up and then I looked inside of his mouth and then I though I might throw up but I'm so in love with this boy so in love with this boy I thought that i could talk to him and maybe he would care but then I ended up pretending like I wasn't even there and still I'm so in love with this boy so in love with this boy and maybe if we went somewhere maybe he would probably stare at my beautiful dress coz I am cute and nobody can deny that I guess I'm a fox that's how I scoot nothing's really wrong with that but so in love with a boy so in love with this boy I walk into the kitchen with two plastic cups and one of them's for you and I see you in the corner with a smile on your face and you're talking to loo oo oo oo oo oo oo but I pretend I don't care try not to stare and quickly double my plastic cups and open the fridge and make a drink and turn to some guy and say what's up? But he doesn't compare to that boy no nothing compares to that boy maybe if we took some time maybe we would speak in rhymes and he would say i think you are hot and i would cough cus that would make me really nervous he wouldn't care and stroke my hair and tell me that he's at my service and i would be loved by this boy perfectly loved by this boy he doesn't even really see me cus if he did he'd want to be with me but i'm up for a fight i'm walking out i didn't give up i'm just so active places to go and people to see i'm sorry if i seem distracted but i'm in love with that boy kind of in love with that boy so i walk through the room and i say goodnight to you but just when i think it's all over i feel his hand on my shoulder oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh credits
