Crazy Ideas 03:30
I never put my hair back even when the wind blows it in my face I never stop going even if I don’t know if I’m going the right way, oh I never stop looking, I never stop cooking up crazy ideas I always give up my whole heart on the very first hello I always leap recklessly, never look out for what’s below, oh I always feel hurried, I always feel worried I’m running out of crazy ideas But sometimes I wish I could step out of my skin Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in Stay in one place for a minute, Let myself just live in it, Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround Let myself be found I met you in the summertime and I could barely find words to say You were like wind and you blew out my fire in just the right way, oh You made me nervous, took all my courage and my crazy ideas I started to stop and look at all I hadn’t seen I started to notice the blues, the purple, red, and green, oh You saw me clearly, loved me so fiercely and gave me your crazy ideas Maybe it’s time now to step out of my skin Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in Stay in one place for a minute, Let myself just live in it, Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround, Let myself be found There’s a road that I was traveling that was bound to end somewhere Wasn’t easy to drive with the sun in my eyes and the wind in my hair I was tired of racing and tired of chasing some old, weathered dream I was running out of steam Feels like I’m ready to step out of my skin Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in Stay in one place for a minute, Let myself just live in it, Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround, Let myself be found

Hourglass 04:02
In another world we haven’t met In another I’ve not found you yet Time is elusive Time we confuse with boulders in a stream Frozen in the breeze Time can move with ease Love is infinitely plausible Time is wild and irresponsible Love covers oceans Time faking motion Love is like a dream Time is in between Let’s flow back upstream When in the morning I see you Infinite versions of our love come true Moonlight is shining and somewhere it’s noon But I’m in my time with you And we walk our path like travelers Time attempting to unravel us Here as I hold you Time may unfold you Slipping through my hands Try to catch the sand Time has other plans When in the darkness I see you Infinite versions of our love come true Sunlight is shining on a crescent moon But I’m in my time with you When in this moment I see you Infinite versions of our love come true Maybe each new day isn’t really new We say it’s a lifetime then we say time flew Maybe the end of time is overdue But I’m in my time with you

Nothing that you’ve done to me makes sense I said “no” and you’ve been tryna hop my fence That was an hour ago, you’re still my present tense Ugh, men. You’re like a child, I know you think that I’m your toy You’re coming at me like a whiny little boy You’re getting angry ‘cause you think I’m being coy I’m not playing games, gonna start taking names You think I’m yours to claim but now I’m just annoyed Excuse...you, excuse you I do what I want to, so excuse you Now I’ve spent half my night fending off your advances Funneling free drinks my way, how romantic Why can’t you see that you ruined your chances On the floor with your white boy dances You’re tryna buy me with libations Maybe ‘cause I got a reputation Well fuck that noise! I’m my own creation I don’t owe you shit You can’t have all of this for a gin and tonic Here’s what I say to your expectations: Excuse...you, excuse you I do what I want to, so excuse you Excuse...you, excuse you I do what I want to, so excuse you I go to the ladies’, fix my hair And you can bet there’s seven other women there One of ‘em’s sayin some guy won’t leave her alone Another says that some guy followed her home I tell ‘em I got one on my ass He’s been buying me drinks, they say “least he’s got class” I say, “Sisters, I don’t know what we’re gonna do,” And they all say, “me too.” So we storm the bar and we all say Excuse...you, excuse you We do what we want to, so excuse you Excuse...you, excuse you We do what we want to, so excuse you
