You’ve Changed
03:35

Started out so innocent
Seventeen didn’t make no difference
All my friends had experience, so much to learn, so much to hear, things got serious
Here and now its your time to shine
You’re the last chick standing up against the line
Think I’m getting butterflies, did that hit you by surprise?
Step by step, I know you’re gonna think I over stepped
You shouldn’t judge at my every move
I’m here to tell ya that I disapprove of all that
I’m just on a one way street to new things
Waiting to see what the weekend brings
When they say you’ve changed
Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do
Change
Don’t you dare tell me you disapprove of
Change
I don’t know why you can’t handle it
Take a second honey
Girl you ain’t seen nothing
Pick up where ya left off don’t you
Freeze up like you were told off it’s the
Same thing every time we come around to it
That same friend she don’t wanna get around in it
The fact that you’re growing older
Safe to say that no one told her
Just because you done it all before doesn’t
Mean that you come knocking on my door does it
Step by step, I know you’re gonna think I overstepped
You shouldn’t judge at my every move
I’m here to tell ya that I disapprove of all that
I’m just on a one way street to new things
Waiting to see what the weekend brings
When they say you’ve changed
Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do
Change
Don’t you dare tell me you disapprove of
Change
I don’t know why you can’t handle it
Take a second honey
Girl you ain’t seen nothing
Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do
Change
Don’t you dare tell me you disapprove of
Change
I think I know why you can’t handle it
Take a second honey
Girl you ain’t seen nothing

Guilty Pleasure
03:13
|

Yeah I’m having a good hair day
Take a guess it’s Saturday
Pop the percolator on then I’ll hop into
Something pretty for later on when I drink a few
I just bought a new pair of shades
Now catch me dabbling in the vintage craze
I’m a sucker for the gold in the golden hour
Which is when I’ll head for that amoretto sour
But my guilty pleasure
The one that smiles and my dial surrenders, and
When I want time to rewind, there’s no pressure
Yeah I ain’t even guilty
And oh it’s a pleasure
To know that days could go by without measure
Yeah I’m still wearing your burgundy sweater
And I ain’t even guilty
But still to take a little weight off my week
Ever since I was a young seventeen
Sneakers on with the flares as I take a stroll
Yet again to my regular hole in the wall
Where the pretty barista is whistling
I pick a table with the sun glistening
Yeah with my sun kissed cheeks I outta get my fix
While I flick through my European summer pics
But my guilty pleasure
The one that smiles and my dial surrenders, and
When I want time to rewind, there’s no pressure
Yeah I ain’t even guilty
And oh it’s a pleasure
To know that days could go by without measure
Yeah I’m still wearing your burgundy sweater
And I ain’t even guilty

Until My Alarm
03:00
|
|||
I just woke up from a dream
Where you were falling for me
Giving me eyes that say more
Than you have said ever before
Took me away from the crowds
We spent a day in the clouds
You and your dazzling charm
Had me until my alarm
So now when I see you around
How am I gonna react
When you say a simple hello
And I know you better than that
Though I don’t want to assume
That you could be feeling it too
If there’s a lesson I’ve learnt
Chemistry comes in two
And all of a sudden you’re there
But your fingertips aren’t in my hair
Nah that would be crossing a line
That wouldn’t exist in my mind
Where I used to love your affection
So much you left an impression
So how do I get your attention
How do I make you mine
Cause now I have a memory of us from long ago
That you don’t even know, you won’t ever know
The history of you and me, we’re meant to be I swear
What happens in a dream
Stays in the air
I just woke up from a
Did you just wake up from a
Did we just wake up from a
Did we just wake up from a
Cause I just woke up from a
Did you just wake up from a
Did we just wake up from a
Dream (dream)
Yeah I just woke up from a (dream)
Did you just wake up from a (dream)
Cause I just woke up from a (dream)
Yeah I just woke up from a (dream)
Yeah we just woke up from a (dream)
Yeah I just woke up from a
Cause now I have a memory of us from long ago
That you don’t even know, you won’t ever know
The history of you and me, we’re meant to be I swear
What happens in a dream
Stays in the air

Sweeter For Me
03:01
|
|||
I took a fall back onto, what I already put my all of into
One of those classics I’ve heard people do
The whole “yeah, we messed up, we made up”, what’s new?
And while I’m here should I squeeze in
How I so happened to forget the reason
Me and my lover were in the dry season
The type your mother picks up on well before you
But you’re familiar with it
Couldn’t imagine delivering it
How you wanted to pull the plug on it
Na, nothing is sweet about breaking that news
And no you weren’t trying to please them
You just didn’t know of how to ease them
Into knowing you wanted to leave them
You were growing right into your own shoes
That wanted to stroll down a street, recalling how life is still sweet
Good thing I trusted my instinct ‘cause now
I’ve done all the strolling to see how it’s all so much sweeter for me
Sweeter for me, sweeter for me
I reminisce on the times you’d pick me up at a roundabout nine
We pick a bar and pretend to like wine, ha
Was something sweet about you with a red
Until the merlot was empty, don’t pretend that you didn’t get friendly
With the waiter you handed a twenty,
thinking maybe the glass went up to your head
But the tears in my eyes helped me see in between all the lines
That were crossed on the Saturday nights
Nothing sweet about kisses in bed
So I said to myself, think about what your mother would say
If she knew you were feeling this way
There’s no other who’d dream of the girl ahead
That wanted to stroll down a street, recalling how life is still sweet
Good thing I trusted her instinct ‘cause now
I’ve done all the strolling to see how it’s all so much sweeter for me
Sweeter for me, sweeter for me

What You’re Missing
02:40
|

I’ve got a type
Cant’t deny it
But it’s hard to come by it
Close my eyes and I’ll find him
Before I know it we’re alone and I’m beside him
Queuing a song, playing along with the whole build up
I like a red, he thought ahead, now I need a fill up
It’s 3am and we’re still up
Till I just woke up
You gotta be kidding
We’re talking and I’m losing interest
You know that I’m wishing
I liked ya but my heart ain’t skipping
Now you got me thinking
About the fella in my visions
So I’m on a mission
To find what it is you’re missing
Yeah why aren’t we kissing
When we’re close
I played at this scene, that moment the most
Somewhere right along the coast
Yeah a girl she can dream and it isn’t what I’d hoped
Not to compare, I wouldn’t dare, but you didn’t get me
The one in my mind, bottle of wine, yeah he impressed me
This is really gonna test me
Look where it’s left me
You gotta be kidding
We’re talking and I’m losing interest
You know that I’m wishing
I liked ya but my heart ain’t skipping
Now you got me thinking
About the fella in my visions
So I’m on a mission
To find what it is you’re missing
