Please kiss me goodbye like that night
I’d have died in your arms
Had you have never had to move
Please tell me to stay
Can you read on my face that I’m waiting?
Falling into you
Kissing in the back seat
Told me that he loved me
Left me way too early
Easy, honey
Dancing in the streets
The weekend on repeat
Doing it like they do in
California, I adore ya
Only move my body for ya
‘Cause it’s tales like these on silver screens
My dancing fever, type machines
In California, should have warned ya
I’m a good-for-nothing traitor
Saw ya linger for a bit too long
The road goes on and on in California
I bet that you taste like regret
I don’t care if it’s bad
I wanna see it through
Fast drives, midnight
You’re right, I shouldn’t
But there’s nothing I can do
My mind’s in California
I adore ya
Only move my body for ya
‘Cause it’s tales like these on silver screens
My dancing fever, type machines
In California, should have warned ya
I’m a good-for-nothing player
Showed my cards a bit too long, oh God
The list goes on and on in California
In California
In California
In California
In California, I adore ya
Only move my body for ya
‘Cause it’s tales like these on silver screens
My dancing fever, type machines
In California, should have warned ya
I’m a good-for-nothing player
Showed my cards a bit too long, oh God
The list goes on and on in California
(Oh, God)
In California
(Oh, God)
In California

Wine

I’ve got the place to myself
I put my fist through the wall
‘Cause you never call anymore
Anymore
By New Year’s you’ll be
Out of town and you
Took her out just to
Strip her down
But I’ve got a bottle of wine
And a ride into town
Do a couple of lines
Pick a couple of fights on the streets
Where I grew up and it’s
Alright, right
As long as we keep our eyes closed
For the ride
Kiss me now ‘cause I’m out of time
“Is he in love with you?”
I said “maybe”
He might
I’ve got the place to myself
I bought you this dress
I won’t wear it unless you’re there
You’re there
This time tomorrow
You’ll be gone
I’ll be dying alone ‘cause you’re
All that I want
Could a bottle of wine
Between us keep you
Leading me on?
Do a couple of lines
Break a couple of hearts on the streets
Where I grew up and it’s alright, right
As long as you keep your eyes on me
Tonight
Put my cigarette out on my arm
And she’s right
He’ll never love you if you’re broken
But maybe he might
Do a couple of lines
Pick a couple of fights on the streets
Where I grew up and it’s
Alright, right
As long as we keep our eyes closed
For the ride
Kiss me now ‘cause I’m out of time
“Is he in love with you?”
I said “maybe”
He might
“Is he in love with you?”
I said “maybe”
He might
“Is he in love with you?”
I said “maybe”
He might

Youth

Mama told me, don’t trust nobody
Everybody’s gonna run away
They stole my money
She said, honey
No one ever stays
And I pray, just a couple of days
That I wait till I see your face
Come on, give me that high
Have the time of your life
She had love, so she turned to hate
This is youth
All my friends are getting drunk
Somebody’s making love in the bathroom
This is youth
Oh, we’re laughing ‘cause we’re dying
But at least I’m stuck on you
My baby told me not to worry
Saying sorry’s never any good
He stole my pills
It paid his bills
The way he thought it should
And I pray, just a couple of days
That I wait till I see your face
Come on, give me that high
Have the time of your life
She had love, so she turned to hate
This is youth
All my friends are getting drunk
Somebody’s making love in the bathroom
This is youth
Oh, we’re laughing ‘cause we’re dying
But at least I’m stuck on you
This is youth
We put them all to shame
I’m screaming out your name in the back room
Time never waits and
People never change
But at least I’m stuck on you
I said, love doesn’t choose
As I walked in his shoes
And I wished it would never end
And I lay on the floor
As he walked out the door
And said, till we meet again
This is youth
All my friends are getting drunk
Somebody’s making love in the bathroom
This is youth
Oh we’re laughing ‘cause we’re dying
But at least I’m stuck on you
This is youth
We put them all to shame
I’m screaming out your name in the back room
Time never waits and
People never change
But at least I’m stuck on you

Gasoline
03:59

People have a way of being plain
But you’re different
I fell in love at seventeen
With gasoline
He keeps the common touch
In my head we dance
Like I’m good at being honest
Like you ever kept a promise
Like I ever had a chance
In my head we collide
Like a tongue binds to ice
Like you saw me in the fire
Heard me asking you to dance
You’re a little too much
Too much
Too much
Too much for me
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You’re gasoline
You’re a little too much
Too much
Too much
Too much for me
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You touch
You touch
Gasoline
I know I didn’t really need to ask
But I want you to say it
We could stay behind the coats
In the smoke till the morning
I don’t want anyone but you
We could
We could
Oh baby, how I wish you would
Fall now
Like I fell ‘cause I was guessing
I’m still choking on the smoke
And I’m still holding onto hope
That what I’ve built up from the ashes
For you won’t burn down
I’m still breathing in the water
Only you can save me now
You’re a little too much
Too much
Too much
Too much for me
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You’re gasoline
You’re a little too much
Too much
Too much
Too much for me
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You’re gasoline
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You’re gasoline
I wanna know how you touch
You touch
You touch
You touch
You touch
Gasoline

Duotone

How do I get me back to breathing?
I’m swallowing the oxygen
But I’m still heaving
How do I stop myself from leaving?
Be best if you break me
So I could stop believing
It’s cruel
The way you move
There’s no rules in this to follow
There’s no rules, a fool
They’re following me home
I swear, I feel you in my bones
But you don’t love me, and you never will
If this is love then I don’t wanna feel
How did my heart go back to breaking?
There’s this weight in my mind
And I thought that you could take it
How do I stop myself from waiting?
There’s just one move that I need
And I thought that you could make it
It’s cruel
The way you move
There’s no rules in this to follow
There’s no rules, a fool
They’re following me home
I swear, I feel you in my bones
But you don’t love me and you never will
If this is love then I don’t wanna feel
And it’s cruel
The things you do
To me every time you touch me
I see duotone
That you’re the one for me
I swear, you could be all I need
Make believe what I believed was real
If this is love then I don’t wanna feel

Mine

There’s nothing quite your love
Pull me into a corner
My hands underneath his shirt
I can never get enough
My back against a wall
I’m so in love with you that it hurts
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody has the right to
Stay with you up all night, I
Want you all the time
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody else knows how to
I only really like you
I love that you’re mine
There’s nothing quite like his skin
Every single inch is familiar
Wrap you up and breathe you in
And babe, you’re in my blood
Every drop is like ecstasy
Overflowing at the brim
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody has the right to
Stay with you up all night, I
Want you all the time
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody else knows how to
I only really like you
I love that you’re mine
Mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re
Mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re
Mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re mine
Oh, you’re mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re
Mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re
Mine, mine, mine
I love that you’re mine
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody has the right to
Stay with you up all night, I
Want you all the time
And I wanna touch you
Like nobody else knows how to
I only really like you
I love that you’re mine

Tequila

You’ve been stuck in my head
With your bad rap, fuck that
You’re making me tense
And I need it
Should I act like I mean it?
You go all out making your plans
Do you even wanna see me
‘Cause you’re not making sense
Have I ruined
This with what I’m doing?
But neither of us
Can change what the heart wants
God knows where I went wrong
Slipped and fell for you
If only I knew
You’d hit me harder
Than a hundred shots
Of my favourite tequila
That they serve on the rocks
When it’s me and my friends
And the boys that left them alone
And I can wait forever
‘Cause you’ve stolen my heart
And it doesn’t matter if I never
Get what I want
‘Cause all that I need
Is your song on repeat
When it’s late and I’m walking home
My life is like a movie
I’ve been acting so well
How could I be so stupid
Everybody could tell
I was just another girl
Who was foolish
In the way that she fell
And I can’t look at you
‘Cause I hate what I see
I’m sorry but I think I need
A second to breathe
And I try, but I don’t think you know
What this is doing to me
‘Cause you’ve hit me harder
Than a hundred shots
Of my favourite tequila
That they serve on the rocks
When it’s me and my friends
And the boys that left them alone
Oh, and I can wait forever
‘Cause you’ve stolen my heart
And it doesn’t matter if I never
Get what I want
‘Cause all that I need
Is your song on repeat
When it’s late and I’m walking home
Hit me harder than a hundred shots, oh you’ve
Hit me harder than a hundred shots
When it’s me and my friends
And the boys that left them alone
Hit me harder than a hundred shots, oh you’ve
Hit me harder than a hundred shots
‘Cause all that I need
Is your song on repeat
When it’s late and I’m walking home

The Fire

I’ve got my eyes on you
Mind on you
Drunk on disappointment, baby
Look at all this mess that you have made
Still hoping
Why don’t you come around
‘Cause mine’s still open
God help me, I should stop forgiving you
Straight into the fire
I’ll follow you everywhere you go
Said I was a liar
The first damned night he drove me home
Get me a little higher
Perfect disaster
I’ve got a body in my bed
So tell me, how the hell
Do I forget?
I count my midnights
The streetlights
They’re blinding in my eyes
You look so pretty
When you’re telling all your lies
Unsteady fingers
They pull the strings
The feeling lingers
And the way that you smile
Could kill if you tried
But you said I’m too young to die
Straight into the fire
I’ll follow you everywhere you go
Said I was a liar
The first damned night he drove me home
Get me a little higher
Perfect disaster
I’ve got a body in my bed
So tell me, how the hell
Do I forget?
Straight into the fire
I’ll follow you everywhere you go
Said I was a liar
The first damned night he drove me home
Get me a little higher
Perfect disaster
I’ve got a body in my bed
So tell me, how the hell
Do I forget?

I’ll show you my ribs
I’ll show you how I learned to dance like this
I could spend forever
Fingers dug into your jeans
No further than I need to be
I’ll give you my heart
I’ll show you where you broke it
When I fell in love too hard
Addicted to the danger of you
Knowing how I feel
Just pretend it isn’t real
It hurts to look at you
But I can’t stop staring
It hurts to watch you move
‘Cause I’m not breathing
Imagine you against a wall like me
To love me like you’ve never loved before
Straight ethanol
Forget what I’ve said
There’s something ‘bout the
Way you move that
Makes me lose my head
You’d look so good on my
Thirty-five millimetre film
Can you keep perfectly still?
It hurts to look at you
But I can’t stop staring
Oh, it hurts to watch you move
‘Cause I’m not breathing
Imagine you against a wall like me
I love you like I’ve never loved before
Straight ethanol
Imagine you against a wall like me
To love me like you’ve never loved before
Straight ethanol

Pills and Bottles
04:22

I know a girl who’s a little more lucky
Than the rest of us, puckered up and
Said that she feels a little down
They’ve made her happy now
Better than you by a little bit
Suffers like the rest of us
Better off than most of us
But we’ve beat her down
Her pills and bottles save her now
I know a girl who was hurt
And the world has made her numb
She was clean, just a little too mean
And all she ever does is run
Talk behind your back and
Break your heart for fun
And I met a boy, told me he was mine
Told a couple lies, said it was alright
‘Cause I told him I was gonna die
It’s getting old
Washed it down with alcohol
‘Cause life is a game
You either break or break the chains
You tell the people, hold me up
They’re all just stepping stones to fame
And you’re all to blame
‘Cause you were here before it came
You either change or stay the same
Or pills and bottles make your name
‘Cause life is a game
‘Cause life is a game
Oh, I know a boy, got a couple dark secrets
But his friends couldn’t keep ‘em
And he’s too proud to listen
He changes his feelings, wrong opinions
Quicker than I change my mind
And I know a girl who’s been
Burdened by the big bad world
She’s alone with his body
She’s at home without a soul
Coming round, breaking down
She isn’t dreaming now
‘Cause life is a game
You either break or break the chains
You tell the people, hold me up
They’re all just stepping stones to fame
And you’re all to blame
‘Cause you were here before it came
You either change or stay the same
Or pills and bottles make your name
You aren’t him and she isn’t her
You’re all gonna leave me
You’re all gonna hurt
You’re not gonna love me
The way that you say that you do
Oh, baby, you aren’t real
Get out of my head
Oh, this only ends with
One of us dead, whoa
How can you blame me
For letting you save me
Oh, I’m feeling down
‘Cause life is a game
You either break or break the chains
You tell the people, hold me up
They’re all just stepping stones to fame
And you’re all to blame
‘Cause you were here before it came
You either change or stay the same
Or pills and bottles make your name, oh
‘Cause life is a game
You either break or break the chains
You tell the people, hold me up
They’re all just stepping stones to fame, oh
And you’re all to blame
‘Cause you were here before it came
You either change or stay the same
Or pills and bottles make your name
‘Cause life is a game
