Baby 02:52
Verse 1: Made little sappy nicknames for you Didn’t mean to get this stuck up on you (Loving what you doing) How you got me so high? Somewhere past Pluto (Feeling exhilarated, stimulating) Please, never say bye Turn on the radio I got this song playing for you Hook: Even when the lights go dim You ain’t sharing me with them Saying all these perfect things Me and you the perfect blend Do you think about the good and bad? Gonna have some rainy days ahead You’ll still be mine You’ll still be mine (baby) Verse 2: Love the way you bite your upper lip, don’t gotta guess I know it’s when you’re thinking And how you bring up conversations ‘bout my passions and my likings just to let me know you listen Even when my days are bad I’d call and everything just gets brighter You tolerate my pet names like I tolerate your stubble Know I’m stealing all your sweaters (ohhh) [Hook]

So Much 04:40
Hook: (It’s) so much [x7] About me To know about me Is how I see it [Repeat] Verse 1: First class flight to my Utopia Wonderful place that I’ve been dreaming of Playing UNO in the backseat Double dutching, reggae playing By the corner where the tracks meet See the weather’s always perfect Earth’s not dying, no one’s crying Every morning would be worth it We’re not worried ‘bout tomorrow Smiles replacing all the sorrows Inspirations I can borrow All levels of action, exploding passion I’m a warrior Forgive all my faults and losses Remember, I’m a person first Big fros out the window, the wind dancing around us in flirty tempos I’m enjoying just being, pain don’t bother me I got a piece of your love Heart breaks remedy (Hook 2x) Verse 2: Let’s watch the sun use the mountain to hide As we stare at the horizon Or tell our stories on the bridge Watch the ripples in the lake Cause the stars won’t tell our secrets (and you) My heart is a little fragile so could you please be gentle (and you) Vibing to silence, there’s nothing wrong with loving simple Wrap your arms around my body while the wind blows Lingered kisses, inside jokes, pretend the world froze Your heart beating on my chest, as my arms wrap gently round your neck Note to self: Life’s too short, don’t make time for no regrets Sing out loud, follow through Make sure you always do your best Watch your back for the ones who’s always wanting hand outs Why blend into the crowd when you could always stand out No high expectations, no way that they could let you down Intensified feelings, I know, can’t let this moment die out Bridge: (ohhh) Secret rendezvous Summer’s golden hues In the morning I’ll be here with you Ghetto poetry Snowflakes falling Cloud are crying Synced up melodies There’s so much to know There’s way too much to know about me [hook 2x]

Philophobia 02:57
[Intro] Hook: I just wanna let you know This has been running all through my head He’s taking this too far I should’ve never let him into my bed You ain’t even know that he played Verse 1: Felt my soul leave my body when I saw you with someone else I can’t lie, I wanna blame you But I know, yeah I know that I did this to myself I trusted you with everything that I had Bridge (Harmony) Reminiscing over and over again ohhh (Harmony) [Hook] Verse 2: Still trying to understand what you see in her You must love the sight of seeing my heart bleed I guarantee you she could never compare to me I loved you with everything that I had [Bridge] Outro : I pray nobody does your daughter like you did me

Verse 1: Watch what you say to me All those lies I’ve heard them before No it’s fine, I don’t want this no more Why you hiding those secrets I didn’t give you any reasons to Oh, boy you tried it Repeatedly saying you regret it Or is it the fact that I caught you Lord, I hope you can hear me You’ve got plans for me I do not doubt it Wipe all these tears that I’m crying Please take away all of these feelings Picture a knife in my chest Fuck that, don’t wish you the best I hope that karma comes find you For the girls that you’ve lied to and scatters your happiness Hook: Oh, you left with my love It’s no use to you where do I start (oh) Think you shattered my heart Broken pieces around me, I’m falling apart Oh, you left with my love It’s no use to you where do I start (oh) Think you shattered my heart Broken pieces around me, gotta learn to evolve Verse 2: Apologies sounding rehearsed Heart attacks wouldn’t hurt any worse (oh) All of this pain doesn’t work for me So I’m here ending all this catastrophe Look at you feeling so safe Thinking he won’t take your place Left all your stuff at the door Please get all your shit off my floor Won’t break down ‘till he leaves For now I don’t feel any pain Don’t want him to get all his pleasure From watching my knees hit terrain Because I’m hurt, because I’m hurt [hook]

No Questions 03:51
Verse 1: Why you keep calling? Why you keep calling? Why you think I’m stalling you? I’ve been at home and I’ve been at home and I’ve been at home since 2 (Harmony) There’s only so much I can take from you (Harmony) Imma need a break from you Hook: No questions Please stop asking Is there something wrong or is there something that you’re lacking (oh) I just want you to know Ya killing me asking me questions like Who you with? Where you from? What you like? I want you to give me my space When I say that I am cool with my place You cool with that? Where you been at? You questioning I ain’t into that I know by now You may not know me Bridge: Just let it be personal (ohhh) Just let it be personal (ohhh) Let me take care of me I’m fine on my own I can take care of me Please leave me alone Verse 2: Not trying to be mean (nah) It’s just, there’s nothing that I’m feeling Why can’t you be okay with that? I’m sick of playing games (no) Sick of acting like I have these feelings that I do not have (Harmony) I know you can find someone who loves and cares about you (Harmony) And she will say that she loves you too [Hook] [Bridge] Ending: My biz, my biz, my business My biz, my biz, my business My biz, my biz, my business My business

Bridge: The world’s orchestra (4x) Verse 1: Push that play button for me Listen while he’s singing I’m repeating, don’t you stop it for me Feels like an audition for you See you staring at me All these voices filling up the room Let’s take a break then take it back real slowly The words consuming all of my body Wanna feel the base drums of that jazz tone Acoustic, as we harmonize All thoughts aside As that record plays Hook: While the record’s playing (2x) While the record plays Rerunning the melodies The symphonies While the record’s playing Verse 2: Picturing the curvature of your words While trying to preserve my voice The mellow cry of flute carries me Don’t drop me So happy Balancing on a million strings Now the beat gets slower Goes to my hips then drops a little bit lower I’m still listening Can’t help but smile While dreaming as he hits falsetto [Bridge], [Hook] Verse 3: Poetry like Redding (ohhh) Voices sound like heaven (ohhh) Violins played delicately No hesitation longing from this chemistry Got me on the floor Feel the music climbing up the walls A melodic blast catches me Can’t do nothing but sing (ohhh) [Bridge], [Hook], [Bridge] Outro

Verse 1: Almost past noon, I’m still here Not even dressed, I don’t care This whole day is just about me Not worried about no makeup or my hair or what outfit should I wear? Probably put on something comfy I’ll maybe try to paint although I suck Make roman noodles in a cup Sit on the couch and watch some TV Ordering some flowers for myself Maybe tulips, maybe bells On the note I’ll write “from me” Hook: Not thinking about who lied, when I cried Let the drama pass me by In control, cause it’s me day If you ask me I don’t know Not being moody miserable Leave them bad thoughts at the door (I’ve) Got the mindset of a queen Fuck self-pity being mean I refuse to be ashamed It’s me day [Repeat hook] Verse 2: It don’t matter if I’m poor Won’t even worry about my lows My main goal is to be happy I wanna feel that moon on my face and that sun when I wake That special person laying near me Probably buy some pretty heels for my feet even though they’re not me cause today I’m feeling girlie Dance to some throwbacks while I sing, acting like I’m still 16 Today is just about me [Hook 2x]
