Intention
03:47
|
|||
I wanna know that I’m still on your mind
I wanna grow the love that we’ve designed
But your affection comes in waves
All the lows are hard to take
You’re running from me
I wanna feel secure when you’re with me
You gotta show me more than what you’re giving
I need truth, respect and trust
When will you invest in us?
All or nothing
Boy if you love me
Better pay attention
Read my cues, read my signs
You ain’t got to read my mind
Boy if you love me
Love me with intention
Make me sure that you’re worth my time
Love me with intention
It’s like your heart is stuck in outer space
As if your love for me has been misplaced
But when you come back down to earth
You give me all that I deserve
And I get caught up
I wish I could tell myself to let you go
And find someone more dependable
But baby nothing can compare
To the connection that we share
I can’t give that up
Boy if you love me
Better pay attention
Read my cues, read my signs
You ain’t got to read my mind
Boy if you love me
Love me with intention
Make me sure that you’re worth my time
Love me with intention
When did we get so complicated?
I miss the days when I was wanted and appreciated
I’m trying to talk, you tune me out
Tell me how to turn this train around
Is it too late?
You might grow up and learn to listen
I’m always wishing you would follow through
As I give my all to you
But I’m been too forgiving with you baby
Won’t waste another minute on a maybe
Boy do you love me?
‘Cause you won't pay attention
I give you cues, give you signs
Am I even on your mind?
Gotta show me that you love me with intention
‘Cause I know you ain’t worth my time
If you can’t love me with intention
You don’t wanna lose a girl like me
Though I’m holding on to our history
This is your last call boy
Let me know if you’re worth my time
Can you love me with intention?

Seasonal Lover
03:27
|
|||
Whenever you leave, it’s like winter
I watch us wither
All I wanna be is your evergreen girl
And give you every part of me
I’ve been watering our roots
You planted the seed
But then decided to keep me waiting
If we’re only gonna bloom
At your convenience
I can see that
You ain’t nothing but a seasonal lover
Like sunshine and snow
You come and you go
Wish I could say that Imma leave you for another
But what can I do?
I’m rooted to you
You ain’t nothing but a seasonal lover
A seasonal lover, lover
And it’s putting me into this cycle
This downward spiral
As the days get longer, I crave you stronger
The thought of you follows me
I’ve been watering my roots
Self love and care
But it’s a helpless affair baby
Guess I’m only gonna bloom
At your convenience
Now I see that
You ain’t nothing but a seasonal lover
Like sunshine and snow
You come and you go
Wish I could say that Imma leave you for another
But what can I do?
I’m rooted to you
You ain’t nothing but a seasonal lover
A seasonal lover, lover
A seasonal lover
You ain’t nothing but a
Temporary high
Rare occasions
Holidays that I keep chasing
Chances are, you’ll leave me dry
Still I roll the dice
And roll with the tides
'Cause I can’t blame you
No one can take too much of me at one time
So next time you call
I’mma let you be my seasonal lover
My sunshine and snow
No I can’t let you go
'Cause only you can bring this beautiful thunder
I wait for the storm
‘Cause your rain keeps me warm
I can’t grow without my seasonal lover
My sunshine and snow
You can come and go
I'll cross my fingers for your spring and summer
It’s all I can do
I’m rooted to you
You ain’t nothing but a

I’m no acrobat
But you’ve got me tumbling for you
Got no safety net
All I have is something to lose
'Cause we don’t make sense
I'm loving you at your expense
But I’m too weak to leave just yet
Could you make it easy?
Say the wrong thing
Blame it all on me
Let me walk away before I’m in too deep
Say the wrong thing
Drop a bomb on me
All you gotta do to set me free is
Say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
Oh, say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
Let’s go up in flames
Call me names, I’ll play along
You can make a scene
I’ll make believe I’m better off
'Cause I’m terrified
A love like this would run you dry
But nothing’s gonna change my mind
So could you make it easy?
Say the wrong thing
Blame it all on me
Let me walk away before I’m in too deep
Say the wrong thing
Drop a bomb on me
All you gotta do to set me free is
Say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
Oh, say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
No no no no
Can’t get too close
‘Cause if you feed the fire then I’m bound to explode
Baby I’m sure
I’ve been here before
It’s just a matter of time before you
Say the wrong thing
Blame it all on me
Let me walk away before I’m in too deep
Say the wrong thing
Drop a bomb on me
All you gotta do to set me free is
Say the wrong thing
Blame it all on me
Let me walk away before I’m in too deep
Say the wrong thing
Drop a bomb on me
All you gotta do to set me free is
Say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
Oh, say ay ay ay
Say the wrong thi i i ing
Say the wrong thing

Better as a Daydream
02:53
|

I bet you’re not as brilliant
As I’ve built you up to be
So I’d rather keep my distance
Than unravel this fantasy
Why waste my feelings on real interaction
'Cause I’m lucid dreaming whenever I pass ya
'Cause you’re the perfect distraction
And I won’t let you faze me
'Cause you, you, you’re better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you’re better as a daydream
If seeing’s believing, I’d rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing’s a waste of my time
That’s why you, you
You’ve probably got imperfections
If I were to see up close
But why pollute my perception
And put you under a microscope
Why waste my effort? I ain’t got the patience
My love’s like a desert and you’re the oasis
You’re just some concept I’m chasing
And I can’t let you faze me
'Cause you, you, you’re better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you’re better as a daydream
If seeing’s believing, I’d rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing’s a waste of my time
That’s why you, you
You look best from miles away
I guess I’m afraid
A daydream will hurt me less
This is just self-defense
'Cause if I say hello
I’m terrified of what I could find
And I’d rather never know
I’d rather never know you, yeah
('Cause you, you, you’re better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you’re better as a daydream)
I don't wanna know
If seeing’s believing, I’d rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing’s a waste of my time
That’s why you, you

Conversational hips
They won’t listen to the mind that’s talking
Confrontational tricks
But they won’t take the “no” you’re offering
Whether you’re calloused and cool
Or play by their rules
It’s nothing but a one-way-street
'Cause if you’re flirty and free
They won’t choose to see
The person behind the body
They’ll blame it on the black dress, black dress
They’ll blame it on the high heels, red lips
They’ll blame it on the fresh face, white lace
They’ll blame it on you
They say you should have said no
And if you said it, should have worn it louder
Why are you going out alone?
They made your bed but now they call you the liar
Whether you’re sober or not
They’re calling the shots
It’s nothing but a one-way-street
And if your history speaks
They won’t choose to see
The person behind the body
They’ll blame it on the black dress, black dress
They’ll blame it on the high heels, red lips
They’ll blame it on the fresh face, white lace
They’ll blame it on you
You and your black dress, black dress
Ooh the black dress, black dress
Let them take a walk in our heels
See how it feels
To be the person behind the body
So go on wear your black dress, black dress
Go on wear your high heels, red lips
Or you can keep the fresh face, white lace
'Cause you’re not the fool
Go on wear your black dress, black dress
Go on wear those high heels, red lips
Or you can keep that fresh face, white lace
It’s all up to you

Did the color of our love change?
Or just the lighting in the room?
You don't feel like home anymore
And I'm hoping I've spoken too soon
You and I
Grew intertwined
Have we overgrown?
What can I do?
Half of me is you
Just wanna know
What happened to us?
Who blew out the fire?
We're going through the motions
We used to be so golden
And now I feel nothing
How long have we been fading?
And how much longer do we have?
I can't stand to watch us decaying
And it kills me to feel so detached
You and I
Used to feel right
Now we've turned to stone
What can I say
I feel so betrayed
Just gotta know
What happened to us?
Our love has expired
We're going through the motions
So passionately broken
All for nothing
Please, tell me that it's not too late
Tell me that we haven't changed
Promise me I'm overthinking as usual
Please, travel with me back in time
Let the spark reignite
'Cause baby I can't bury something so beautiful
Please
What happened to us?
Who blew out the fire?
We're going through the motions
We used to be so golden
And now I feel nothing
What happened to us?
Our love has expired
We're going through the motions
So passionately broken
All for nothing

Hollow, heavy, hopeless, she’s hungry for a home
Empty empathy, her energy erodes
Aching, anchored by anger, abandoned all alone
Lifeless, she’s looking for light
Have you ever seen such brilliance?
A broken soul rebuilding
Like a wave through the stillness
The radiant glow of resilience
Healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman
Oh, healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman
Here she goes, her own hero, hoping to be heard
Enduring, emerging through the embers of the earth
Adapting, reacting, asking all around for answers
Listen, she is the light
Have you ever seen such magic?
An unexpected passion
Look underneath the ashes
Life born out of tragedy
Healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman
Oh, healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman
Mind, body and soul
Her future is her own
You can take away her sunlight
But a girl will always grow
Healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman
Oh, healing, healing, healing
When it comes to healing
Ain’t nobody do it like a woman

Up to Me
03:11
|

You were well-intentioned, genuine, authentic
But then you went and flipped the switch
I took the bait, you reeled me in
Tried to redesign me to fit your needs
Rewind me, wash rinse repeat
Your puzzle piece
You cut me up to feel complete
So tell me (what’s it gonna take?)
No matter how you try and frame me
(Baby I don’t break)
I’ll just have to leave you hanging
I ain’t sayin’ I’m set in stone
Heaven knows I've got room to grow
But where I go, that’s up to me
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Got no time for settling
See if you can catch up to me
Thought I knew you too well, so tried and true
'Til you felt entitled to a brighter view
I met another side of you
Did you really expect me to let this go
And present me a pathetic show
It’s getting old
I just thought I’d let you know
So tell me (what’s it gonna take?)
No matter how you try and frame me
(Baby I don’t break)
I’ll just have to leave you hanging
I ain’t sayin’ I’m set in stone
Heaven knows I've got room to grow
But where I go, that’s up to me
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Got no time for settling
See if you can catch up to me
I’m reaching, I’m rising, I’m thriving
See if you can catch up to me
I’m moving, I’m growing, I’m glowing
And baby that’s enough for me
I’m reaching, I’m rising, I’m thriving
See if you can catch up to me
I’m moving, I’m growing, I’m glowing
And baby that’s enough for me
I ain’t sayin’ I’m set in stone
Heaven knows I've got room to grow
But where I go, that’s up to me
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Got no time for settling
See if you can catch up to me

Timeless

Half of a first impression
A fraction of a second
Can you catch my vibe?
Or should I summarize for the sake of your attention?
I’m all about the build-up, the long-run, thinking deep
How can I compete
When you want instant gratification
And I’m a five course meal not meant for tasting
I’m more complex than that
You can’t slice me into bite sized pieces
I’m not impressed by that
So don’t turn the page so fast
Maybe I’m a goddess in disguise
Maybe I’m a genius on the rise
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
Maybe I’m a brilliant work of art
I’m everything at once and that’s my charm
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
I could be timeless (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
I’ll be your mind’s magician
Light up your tunnel vision
I can show you all that you are
Pick a card and prepare to be lifted
I’m nothing that you can’t understand
If you listen up, I could fix you up
But you want instant gratification
And if you want to know me, you’ll be patient
I’m more complex than that
You can’t slice me into bite sized pieces
I’m not impressed by that
So don’t turn the page so fast
Maybe I’m a goddess in disguise
Maybe I’m a genius on the rise
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
Maybe I’m a brilliant work of art
I’m everything at once and that’s my charm
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
I could be timeless (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
Don’t blink, won’t you stay a little longer?
In my truth there’s room to wander
So take your time
Don’t blink, I’m an unfamiliar flavor
In a language made to savor
Won’t you give me your time?
Maybe I’m a goddess in disguise
Maybe I’m a genius on the rise
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?
Maybe I’m a brilliant work of art
I’m everything at once and that’s my charm
I ain’t one dimensional
Why be a trend when I could be timeless?

Fall in the city
Amber-brown and grey
Leaves and lovers settlin' down as winter makes its way
I felt small in the city
In a sea of foreign eyes
But I found a pair that took me straight to urban paradise
Is it passion? Fascination?
ls it just too soon to tell?
Captivated by the green light
Gotta take it
Blame it on the skyline
Finds us at the right time
Neon signs at midnight make us feel new
Racing down the side street
Chasing time at high speed
City life, it drives me closer to you
Walking together
Fingers intertwined
Feels so good to hear somebody's footsteps next to mine
See our reflection
In the window of the train
You've got a way of moving me that I just can't explain
Is it passion? Fascination?
ls it just too soon to tell?
Captivated by the green light
Gotta take it
Blame it on the skyline
Finds us at the right time
Neon signs at midnight make us feel new
Racing down the side street
Chasing time at high speed
City life, it drives me closer to you
Is it passion? Fascination?
Is it just too soon to tell?
Captivated by the green light
And I just can't help myself
But I get so high from the smoke-stained sky
Speeding cars and traffic lanes
And I can't believe I've found someone
Who makes me feel the same
Whoa, the same as the skyline
At the right time
Neon signs at midnight make us feel new
Down the side street
Chasing time at high speed
City life, it drives me closer to you
Blame it on the skyline
Finds us at the right time
Neon signs at midnight make us feel new
Racing down the side street
Chasing time at high speed
City life, it drives me closer to you
