Chasing Pavements

should i give up, or should i just keep chasing pavements?

even if it leads nowhere?

Dancing With Your Ghost

yelling at the sky,

screaming at the world.

baby, why'd you go away?

i'm still you're girl.

Remember That Night

that i'd forget you were ever mine.

oh, i don't think you realize,

how long i had to fight to be living my life.

to get better and never have to try

not to think of you.

You're Somebody Else

well you look like yourself but you're somebody else.

only it ain't on the surface.

well you talk like yourself, no i hear someone else.

now you're making me nervous.

Heaven

they say "all good boys go to heaven"

but bad boys bring heaven to you.

it's automatic, it's just want they do.

You Broke Me First

yeah, you could say you miss all that we had

but i don't really care how bad it hurts,

when you broke me first.

Iris

and i don't want the world to see me,

cause i don't think that they'd understand.

when everything's made to be broken,

i just want you to know who i am

Heart Like Yours

how could a heart like yours,

ever love a heart like mine?

Mirrors

cause i don't want to lose you now.

i'm looking right at the other half of me.

the vacancy that sat in my heart, is a space that now you hold.

Please Notice

cause baby when i sleep, i dream of you.

and when i'm awake, that's all i do.

think about every detail you have.

I'm Ready

i got somethin' to prove to show to the world,

can't hold it no longer.

Catching Feelings

i've been catching feelings over you,

and i hope you catch them too.

and i've been going crazy over you,

and i hope you're crazy too.
