Sorry I Threw Up

We didn't see the stars that night
I drank until I puked
I sat there feeling sorry for myself
Til I saw you
You said it's okay, you don't smell like vomit
Hey it's okay, no one even saw it
And I still think you look great
I know you'll always wait
Happy Birthday, and I'm sorry
That my eyes are often starry
Happy Birthday, you amaze me
How do I not drive you crazy
I don't remember much from when
We met up with your friends
I know I probably laughed too loud
And god knows what I said
But you still want me
Can't you see I'm a mess
You say you want me
I try not to second guess
You tell me not to doubt
I'm trying not to doubt
Happy Birthday, and I'm sorry
That my eyes are often starry
Happy Birthday, you amaze me
How do I not drive you crazy

Narcotic of Music

I felt your eyes on me when we were in the crowd
I twirled around and let the trumpets drown you out
So tired of waiting, tired of feeling faithless
No hesitating, time I tried being weightless
In the rapture of the velvet night,
The heartbeats fill the floor
I let the music lift my feet
I'm not grounded anymore
Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float
To leave behind the things you said
And all the things you won't
Wrapped up inside these sounds I am nothing at all
I have no name now so I will not here you call
My heart is racing, body feeling shaky
It's time to fade in, let the music take me
In the rapture of the velvet night,
The heartbeats fill the floor
I let the music lift my feet
I'm not grounded anymore
Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float
To leave behind the things you said
And all the things you won't
Don't try to pull me down
I only wish to float

Play Pretend

I want to play pretend
I want to be a little girl again
Trust in every word you say
Not argue just for argument's sake
I want to play pretend
I'll be Bonnie you'll be Clyde
A bloody love story splattered across time
We won't care who's on our trail
We'll hold each other till we're old and frail
I'll be Bonnie you'll be Clyde
Do you think it would be alright for you
To put up with my shit for one more night
Or maybe even more, if you can
If it's just too much I understand
Do you want to swim with me
Float on our backs in a starry sea
If you find you just can't float
I'll still hold your hand when you're a ghost
Do you want to swim with me
I only want your touch
Do you think it would be too much
To say I want to shed my skin
To feel you for the first time again
I only want your touch
Do you think it would be alright for you
To put up with my shit for one more night
Or maybe even more, if you can
If it's just too much I understand
I want to play pretend

A Good Timing
04:33

When you left to go back home upstate
I left my mind somewhere back at that place
I knew that this wouldn't be fine
Then I thought about what good timing means
What does good timing mean x3
Phone's light blinking brightly in the dark
Meant to me that you were thinking
That we might wind up in some scene
Where you and I knew what good timing means
What does good timing means x3
Well I'm glad that we could just be friends
But it's so hard to love you like that
Your heart is exactly like my heart
Never really know what the fuck good timing means
What does good timing mean x3
