Too Shy

Walk down Eighth Avenue
Cross my fingers that I might run into you
Wearing navy blue
There's so many things I wish that I could do
With you
Change my point of view
Cause I'm not certain that I ever tell the truth
When it comes to you
Can you blame it if I get a bit confused?
Mm
So there I go
Trying to find the right time to say I adore you
I want you in my life
But there you go
Running away before I say a single word
I guess I'm just too shy
I won't get this right
Cause you make me feel so high
We can talk some other night
It's not important it's just something I would like
So there I go
Trying to find the right time to say I adore you
I want you in my life
But there you go
Running away before I say a single word
I guess I'm just too shy
Something new
Do you feel it too?
I fall into
Am I getting through to you?
Get my hopes up I don't know what
Girls like you want from me
Pick myself up get the hell out
Figure it out from here

Borderline

Take my body in your hands
I'd like to know what it's like to be loved by a man like you
Take my soul out to the sea
I'd like to feel what it's like to get lost in a dream come true
A shift in paradigm
My best friend's hand in mine
Our hearts entwined
We crossed a borderline
The planets all aligned
It's by design
Take me dancing on the shore
There's nothing I want more than to sway in your arms when the lights are low
Take my hand and guide me home
It's all we've ever known
Being young and in love in the afterglow
A shift in paradigm
My best friend's hand in mine
Our hearts entwined
We crossed a borderline
The planets all aligned
It's by design
You know my favourite place to be
Is anywhere as long as you're right next to me
And suddenly there's clarity
It took some time for us to see
We filled the space left inbetween
And now I say this easily
You're all I'll ever need
A shift in paradigm
My best friend's hand in mine
Our hearts entwined
We crossed a borderline
The planets all aligned
It's by design

Open Wide

I ask myself nicely
What am I doing here?
I tell myself I love you but the reasons why are not exactly clear
I ask myself nicely
What the hell is it I fear?
Without a man to love me do I think I'm gonna fucking disappear
Well something's changed
And I've lost and I've gained
But I'm still afraid to go outside
I don't wanna be your fool
But I'm so bad at keeping my cool
When I kiss you my eyes are open wide
I ask you nicely
What are you doing here?
You tell me that you love me but it feels a little insincere
I ask you politely
What do you expect from me my dear?
If history repeats itself then I'll be gone this time next year
Well I'm getting bolder
And it's spring but I feel colder
Maybe this year I'll grow older than my age
And you're always on my mind
And I convince myself that that's fine
Oh baby why'd you gotta have such a pretty face?
If you go I know I'd grow much better on my own
Yeah I'd be better on my own
But if you stay I curse the day that I stray
And we fight
And you tell me it's alright
But it's my life
Yeah it's my life
Something's changed
But a lot has stayed the same
And I'm still afraid to go outside
Don't wanna be your fool
But I'm so bad at being cool
When I kiss you my eyes are open wide

Aphasia

So satisfied I said a lot of things tonight
So long Aphasia & the ways it kept me hiding
It's not so much exactly all the words I used
It's more that I was somehow down to let them loose
So complicated I can't wait to get explaining
Your listening distended out since I've been crying
So long Aphasia & the ways it kept me hidden
So long to silent nerves & hesitant oblivion
You came & sent me out unfurling in the street
And I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking
Stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright
Newly delivered, won't you live with me tonight?
Something tonight was such a let down on my pride
It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride
I'd pace around the place so quiet in myself
I'd wake the next & see my silence went unfelt
Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out
Apparently my ventricles are full of doubt
Now
Nah things go wrong sometimes don't let it freak you out
But if I don't have you by me then I'll go underground!
Nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along
Plus one day you'll be reaching for me & I'll be gone
To help remind myself I wrote this little song
One day I won't need your love
One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinkin' of
And if one day I won't need it
One day you won't need it
