Real Tonight

You said you needed me
We both know that you don’t
I’m jumping on a jet
Headed west for the coast
I’m going to Vegas babe
I’m gonna bet it all
So don’t wait up for me
Cause I’m not ever gonna call
Tryna find some trouble I could get in
Cause I’m only living for tonight
I just wanna amplify this feeling
This feeling
Everything is bright lights, everything is hands high
Everything is champagne dripping from the skyline
Everything is all good, everything is alright
Everything is fantasy but we can make it real tonight
I found a British boy
I like the way he talks
He’s just so everything
Everything that you’re not
And I’m not even drunk
And now it’s 5am
The sun is coming up and we’re about to go again
Tryna find some trouble I could get in
Cause I’m only living for tonight
I just wanna amplify this feeling
This feeling
Everything is bright lights, everything is hands high
Everything is champagne dripping from the skyline
Everything is all good, everything is alright
Everything is fantasy but we can make it real tonight

In the Light

I found you in the dark
But saw you clear as day
And I knew without knowing
You weren’t going to fade away
I didn’t have to hide
No secrets left to keep
You looked past skin and bones
And you saw right through to me
Maybe I should be scared but I’m not
All the ghosts of the past are forgotten
There’s a latch I’m ready to unlock
Cause I’m out in the open
Completely exposed and
It finally feels right to be seen
In the light
I’ll be gentle with your heart
Where there’s pain I’ll bring relief
And you say without saying
You’ll do the same for me
Now everything I see
Means a little more
Finding beauty in places
Where it wasn’t there before
Maybe I should be scared but I’m not
All the ghosts of the past are forgotten
There’s a latch I’m ready to unlock
Cause I’m out in the open
Completely exposed and
It finally feels right to be seen
In the light
Maybe I should be scared but I’m not
All the ghosts of the past are forgotten
There’s a latch I’m ready to unlock
Cause I’m out in the open
Completely exposed and
You hear what I’m saying
You’re here and you’re staying
It finally feels right to be seen
In the light

Stay Gone
03:22

Boy you’re like poison to me, I’m like poison to you
Can’t you see that we don’t need that, no no
Oh, we both know where this ends, with us starting again
Can’t you see that we don’t need that, no no
This love is like a thousand cigarettes
In our lungs till we’re both so out of breath
You make it harder on me
Every time you leave
Then come crawling back to me
It ain’t fair to keep me
It ain’t fair to keep me hanging on when I want you to stay
I want you to stay gone
Boy you bring the bad out of me, I bring the worst outta you
Can’t you see that we don’t need that
Now, now, now I, I’ve been trying to forget how it felt in this bed
The one thing we were good at
This love is like a thousand cigarettes
Caught a buzz wasn’t worth it in the end
You make it harder on me
Every time you leave
Then come crawling back to me
It ain’t fair to keep me
It ain’t fair to keep me hanging on when I want you to stay
I want you to stay gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Every time you leave
Then come crawling back to me
It ain’t fair to keep me
It ain’t fair to keep me hanging on when I want you to stay
I want you to stay gone

Dirty Word
03:02

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That you’ve got a reputation
You’re the kind of guy every girl would like
To get a chance at saving
You’ve got the tattooed, too-cool look down to an art
But I think my little white dress is making your situation hard
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good
Say love, like it’s a dirty word, like it’s a dirty word
But it wouldn’t hurt for you to be my bad boy turned good
Be my bad boy turned good
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good
You say that you’re not looking for
Somebody to settle down with
We can take it slow baby but I know
You’ve already started falling
And I’ve got that sweet girl-next-door thing down to an art
But I’m gonna show you the side of me that comes out in the dark
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good
Say love, like it’s a dirty word, like it’s a dirty word
But it wouldn’t hurt for you to be my bad boy turned good
Be my bad boy turned good
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good
Just keep your eyes on me, let’s see where it’s going
Just keep your eyes on me
Keep talking, keep talking, keep talking
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good
Say love, like it’s a dirty word, like it’s a dirty word
But it wouldn’t hurt for you to be my bad boy turned good
Be my bad boy turned good
You say love, like it’s a dirty word
Like it’s a dirty word, but it sounds so good

You wanna make up
No I don’t think so
Cause I’m about to throw your shit straight it out the window
You wanna say what? (what?)
Say that you’re sorry (I’m sorry)
Go on and ride those Pintos boy I’m a Ferrari
I’m gonna Kick you to the left, kick you to the right
Kick you to the curb until I kick you out my life
Go on and cry
It’s way too late to apologize
Don’t even try
You always said that big boys don’t cry
Try not to cry, try not to cry, try not to cry
Big boys don’t cry
Try not to cry, try not to cry, try not to cry
Big boys don’t cry
You wanted my love (love)
You’d said you’d prove it (you’d prove it)
But I gave you every chance and boy you blew it
So I gotta Nsync ya
What does that mean? (here’s what that means)
Oh baby bye bye bye hit the streets
I’m gonna kick you to the left, kick you to the right
Kick you to the curb until I kick you out my life
Go on and cry
It’s way too late to apologize
Don’t even try
You always said that big boys don’t cry
Try not to cry, try not to cry, try not to cry
Big boys don’t cry
Try not to cry, try not to cry, try not to cry
Big boys don’t cry
Go on and cry
It’s way too late to apologize
Don't even try, don't even try boy
You always said that big boys don't cry...

She Should've Been Me
03:37
|

|
I should’ve told you
The moment I met you
That I saw forever and knew that I’d never forget you
I know you felt it
I know we both did
But I was too careful to let you do something about it
Now here I go again trying to pretend
I’ll be better off without you in the end
Now you’re waking up in her bed
And you’re kissing her like you kissed me then
Under the moon with your hand on my neck
Now I walk the streets instead of sleep
Cause all I can think
Is she should’ve been me
I was so empty
When you showed me
How to feel everything now I’ve got nothing but memories
I wanted more than
Another sad song
That reminds me of and reminds me of where I went wrong
Now here I go again trying to pretend
That I am moving on with no regrets
Now you’re waking up in her bed
And you’re kissing her like you kissed me then
Under the moon with your hand on my neck
Now I walk the streets instead of sleep
Cause all I can think
Is she should’ve been me
When you hear that song does it take you back
To the night we danced, how I made you laugh
When she says your name do you think of us
The first time we touched, how we drank too much
And you told me you were looking for somebody like me
Somebody you could finally love
Now you’re waking up in her bed
And you’re kissing her like you kissed me then
Under the moon with your hand on my neck
Now I walk the streets instead of sleep
Cause all I can think
Is she should’ve been me

Sobered Up
03:38

I thought I needed your love to validate me
I thought that you were the one who made me complete
Now I don’t, now I don’t think that anymore
I thought I needed your cash so I could get by
Inhaling you like a drug just so I could get high
Now I don’t, now I don’t think that anymore
Because I’m so-oh-oh-ober, so-oh-oh-ober
So-oh-oh over you
Ooo baby ooo baby, I never knew baby
You’d make me, you’d make me so free
Ooo baby ooo baby, because of you baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
S-s-s-sober baby, s-s-s-sober baby, S-s-s-sober baby
Ooo baby ooo baby, it feels so good baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
I thought that you were my crutch when I was in pain
Your kisses got me so drunk but felt like shit the next day
Now I don’t (now I don’t), now I don’t need you anymore
Because I’m so-oh-oh-ober, so-oh-oh-ober
So-oh-oh over you
Ooo baby ooo baby, I never knew baby
You’d make me, you’d make me so free
Ooo baby ooo baby, because of you baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
S-s-s-sober baby, s-s-s-sober baby, S-s-s-sober baby
Ooo baby ooo baby, it feels so good baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
Because I’m so-oh-oh-ober, so-oh-oh-ober
So-oh-oh over you
Ooo baby ooo baby, I never knew baby
You’d make me, you’d make me so free
Ooo baby ooo baby, because of you baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
S-s-s-sober baby, s-s-s-sober baby, S-s-s-sober baby
Ooo baby ooo baby, it feels so good baby
So over us now I’m sobered up
