Fifteen
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors It's the morning of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while Try and stay out of everybody's way It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say "You know, I haven't seen you around before"
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough, you're best friends Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool We'll be outta here as soon as we can And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car And you're feeling like flying And your mama's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one And you're dancing around your room when the night ends
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen and your first kiss Makes your head spin around But in your life you'll do things greater than Dating the boy on the football team But I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted was to be wanted Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had To a boy who changed his mind And we both cried
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall I've found time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be At fifteen

Don't You
Hey, I knew I'd run into you somewhere It's been a while, I didn't mean to stare I heard she's nothing like me I'm sure she'll make you happy
Sometimes I really wish that I could hate you I've tried, but that's just something I can't do My heart knows what the truth is I swore I wouldn't do this
So I walk outta here tonight Try to go on with my life And you can say, "We're still friends" I don't wanna pretend
So if I see you again Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again You don't know how much I feel I love you still So why don't you?

Bigger Than The Whole Sky
No words appear before me in the aftermath Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness Because it's all over now, all out to sea
Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia? Did some force take you because I didn't pray? Every single thing to come has turned into ashes Because it's all over, it's not meant to be So I'll say words I don't believe
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You were bigger than the whole sky You were more than just a short time And I've got a lot to pine about I've got a lot to live without I'm never gonna meet What could've been, would've been What should've been you

Sad Beautiful Tragic
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait
In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation And we both wake in lonely beds, different cities And time is taking its sweet time erasing you And you've got your demons And darling, they all look like me
Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting, silence,  The train runs off its tracks Kiss me, try to fix it; Could you just try to listen? Hang up, give up, and for the life of us we can't get back A beautiful magic love there What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

mirrorball
I want you to know; I'm a mirrorball I'll show you every version of yourself tonight I'll get you out on the floor Shimmering beautiful And when I break it's in a million pieces
Hush When no one is around, my dear You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes Spinning in my highest heels, love Shining just for you
I want you to know; I'm a mirrorball I can change everything about me to fit in You are not like the regulars The masquerade revelers Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten
Hush I know they said the end is near But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes Spinning in my highest heels, love Shining just for you
And they called off the circus Burned the disco down When they sent home the horses And the rodeo clowns I'm still on that tightrope I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me I'm still a believer but I don't know why I've never been a natural All I do is try, try, try I'm still on that trapeze I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me
Because I'm a mirrorball I'll show you every version of yourself tonight

Don't Blame Me
I've been breaking hearts a long time And toying with them older guys Just playthings for me to use Something happened for the first time In the darkest little paradise Shaking, pacing, I just need you
For you I would cross the line I would waste my time I would lose my mind They say, "She's gone too far this time."
My name is whatever you decide And I'm just gonna call you mine I'm insane, but I'm your baby Echoes of your name inside my mind Halo, hiding my obsession I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy
And, baby, for you I would fall from grace Just to touch your face If you walk away, I'd beg you on my knees to stay
I get so high Every time you're loving me Trip of my life Every time you're touching me Every time you're loving me Don't blame me Love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right Lord, save me My drug is my baby I'll be using for the rest of my life

The Last Time
I find myself at your door Just like all those times before I'm not sure how I got there All roads, they lead me here I imagine you are home In your room, all alone And you open your eyes into mine And everything feels better
And right before your eyes I'm breaking No past No reasons why Just you and me
You find yourself at my door And just like all those times before You wear your best apology But I was there to watch you leave And all the times I let you in Just for you to go again Disappear when you come back Everything is better
And right before your eyes I'm aching No past Nowhere to hide Just you and me
This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong This is the last time I say it's been you all along This is the last time I let you in my door This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore
This is the last time I'm asking you this Put my name at the top of your list This is the last time I'm asking you why You break my heart in the blink of an eye

So It Goes...
See you in the dark All eyes on you, my magician All eyes on us You make everyone disappear And cut me into pieces Gold cage, hostage to my feelings Back against the wall tripping when you're gone
Met you in a bar All eyes on me, your illusionist All eyes on us I make all your grey days clear  And wear you like a necklace I'm so chill, but you make me jealous But I got your heart skipping when I'm gone
Because we break down a little But when I get you alone, it's so simple Because baby, I know what you know We can feel it
You did a number on me But, honestly, baby, who's counting? I did a number on you But, honestly, baby, who's counting? Who's counting?
And all the pieces fall right into place Getting caught up in a moment, Lipstick on your face So it goes I'm yours to keep  And I'm yours to lose  You know I'm not a bad girl But I do bad things with you So it goes
Come here, dressed in black now So it goes Scratches down your back now So it goes

It's Nice To Have A Friend
School bell rings, walk me home Sidewalk chalk covered in snow Lost my gloves, you give me one "Wanna hang out?" Yeah, sounds like fun Video games, you pass me a note Sleeping in tents
It's nice to have a friend
Light pink sky up on the roof Sun sinks down, no curfew 20 questions, we tell the truth You've been stressed out lately, yeah, me too Something gave you the nerve To touch my hand
It's nice to have a friend
Church bells ring, carry me home Rice on the ground looks like snow Call my bluff, call you "Babe" Have my back, yeah, every day Feels like home, stay in bed The whole weekend
It's nice to have a friend

closure
It's been a long time And seeing the shape of your name Still spells out pain It wasn't right The way it all went down Looks like you know that now
Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled I'm fine with my spite; And my tears, And my beers, And my candles I can feel you smoothing me over
I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life Staying friends would iron it out so nice Guilty, guilty  Reaching out across the sea That you put between you and me But it's fake and it's oh so unnecessary
Yes, I got your letter Yes, I'm doing better It cut deep to know ya, Right to the bone I know that it's over, I don't need your closure

Last Kiss
I still remember the look on your face, Lit through the darkness at 1:58 The words that you whispered for just us to know You told me you loved me, so why did you go away?
I do recall now, the smell of the rain Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane That July ninth, The beat of your heart, it jumps through your shirt I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go Sit on the floor wearing your clothes All that I know is I don't know How to be something you miss
I do remember the swing of your step The life of the party, you're showing off again And I'd roll my eyes and then you'd pull me in I'm not much for dancing, but for you, I did Because I love your handshake, meeting my father I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are Hope it's nice where you are And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day And something reminds you you wish you had stayed You can plan for a change in the weather and time But I never planned on you changing your mind
I never thought we'd have a last kiss I never imagined we'd end like this Your name, forever the name on my lips

cardigan
Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on cobblestones When you are young, they assume you know nothing Sequin smile, black lipstick Sensual politics When you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you Dancing in your Levi's, Drunk under a streetlight I knew you Hand under my sweatshirt Baby, kiss it better
A friend to all is a friend to none Chase two girls, lose the one When you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you Playing hide-and-seek and Giving me your weekends I knew you Your heartbeat on the High Line Once in twenty lifetimes
To kiss in cars and downtown bars Was all we needed You drew stars around my scars But now I'm bleeding Because I knew you Stepping on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy I knew you Leaving like a father Running like water And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long Because I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasing shadows in the grocery line I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standing in my front porch light And I knew you'd come back to me You'd come back to me And you'd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed You put me on and said I was your favorite

mad woman
What did you think I'd say to that? Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? They strike to kill and you know I will What do you sing on your drive home? Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn? Does she smile Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?
Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy What about that? And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry And there's nothing like a mad woman What a shame she went mad
Now I breathe flames each time I talk My cannons all firing at your yacht They say, "Move on" But you know I won't And women like hunting witches too Doing your dirtiest work for you It's obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together
No one likes a mad woman You made her like that And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out And you find something to wrap your noose around And there's nothing like a mad woman
I'm taking my time 'Cause you took everything from me Watching you climb Over people like me The master of spin Has a couple side flings Good wives always know She should be mad Should be scathing like me But no one likes a mad woman What a shame she went mad You made her like that

Hey Stephen
Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving But I know I saw a light in you And as we walked, we were talking, I didn't say half the things I wanted to Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window, I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing I don't always have to be alone
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling So I got some things to say to you I've seen it all, So I thought, But I never seen nobody shine the way you do The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving? I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you Can't help it if there's no one else I can't help myself
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me Why aren't you here tonight? I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons Why I should be the one you choose All those other girls, well, they're beautiful But would they write a song for you?
I can't help myself I can't help myself
