[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Always swore you saw through me
Always scared for the day you’d leave
No number of stars
Could keep you in the moment
Disturbing our peace
Was your normal
So now I tell myself
[Chorus]
No point in loving a drifter
Unless you want them to take your heart away
It’d be easier to love a grifter
At least they’d take something I could replace
You took a piece of my heart with you
And locked it in that wandering mind
I could never unwind
[Verse 2]
I’m a dreamer too
But I wish there were one or two things
We could do
That let me know we were alone
In a room
And you weren’t up in the clouds
To escape
The gray life we live everyday
[Chorus]
No point in loving a drifter
Unless you want them to take your heart away
It’d be easier to love a grifter
At least they’d take something I could replace
You took a piece of my heart with you
And locked it in that wandering mind
I could never call mine

Whatever
[Chorus]
With me you always wore a mask
Did you ever think to simply ask:
Do you need me to comfort you?
Or have some space to think things through?
Should have seen all the warning signs
I guess
I’ll never know if you were truly mine
Now I’m left with the mess of a narcissistic psychopath
Who ever said I needed you?
Who ever said I wanted you,
Anyway?
[Verse 1]
Should’ve known when I saw her texts
No Prince Charming, you’re a hypocrite
Where could I be if not beneath her?
Why be with me if you can’t commit?
You had me pegged for an idiot
A rebound, someone who’s desperate
No harm in craving some attention
Unless it’s from an opportunist
You always mentioned your past love affair
Red, blue, to green until I fried my hair
Chasing an image that’s unattainable
Of that girl you just can’t let go
Hoping the day karma answers my prayer
You’re with her, life couldn’t be better
And when you pull back from the sweetest kiss
All you’ll see is me, your biggest hater
[Chorus]
With me you always wore a mask
Did you ever think to simply ask:
Do you need me to comfort you?
Or have some space to think things through?
Should have seen all the warning signs
I guess
I’ll never know if you were truly mine
Now I’m left with the mess of a narcissistic psychopath
Who ever said I needed you?
Who ever said I wanted you
So bad?
Who ever thought I’d need you?
Who ever thought I’d I want you
My bad
My bad
My bad
Oh

[Verse 1]
Why’s the world run on love songs?
I’d rather read a book or learn to cook, something productive
They say it’s a little like magic
But it seems more like
A fever you don’t want to break
The only appeal I see in chocolates
Are the way they taste
And flowers are a bit pedantic
When “I love you” seals your fate
[Chorus]
I don’t mind being a skeptic
Or somewhat pessimistic
But I can’t say I yearn for something
I don’t feel
Don’t tell me
It’ll come when I least
Expect it
I’m content in my bubble
I don’t think cupid’s bow would work
Anyway
[Bridge]
Am I broken if I’ve never learned to love?
Or don’t really care to fall into it?

[Verse 1]
I was thirteen
When I fell for nerdy shit
Anime and cartoon hits
Obsessed with Code Name Kids
Next Door
Not that good at
Drawing
Or conversations
I’m a bit boring
But one things for sure
Knew at twenty-four
I couldn’t change
A thing
[Chorus]
Never learned how to be bored
Had an eye for things I couldn’t afford
Took every moment to be someone else
Meant I never learned to find myself
Chalked it up to low self esteem
And watched as I passed up all my dreams
Still puts some tears in my eyes
The mural of my life
[Verse 2]
Can’t bother to stay up past three
‘Cause of all the shitty things I eat
I guess thems the breaks, so they say,
When you have a mental break
Poured out all my passion in high school
And burnt myself out by the end of college
A little behind in soul searching
Since I haven’t cured my numbness
[Chorus]
Never learned how to be bored
Had an eye for things I couldn’t afford
Took every moment to be someone else
Meant I never learned to find myself
Chalked it up to low self esteem
And watched as I passed up all my dreams
Still puts some tears in my eyes
The mural of my life
My life
Oh, what a sight
[Bridge]
Keep moving
You’re still improving
For yourself
And all your delusions
That there’s a better road ahead
Even if you’d rather be dead
[Chorus]
Never learned how to be bored
Had an eye for things I couldn’t afford
Took every moment to be someone else
Meant I never learned to find myself
Chalked it up to low self esteem
And watched as I passed up all my dreams
Still puts some tears in my eyes
The mural of my sad life

[Verse 1]
Don’t really know
How to describe colors
But I’d say
You give me a little blue
Like the sky
My beacon of hope everyday
Or maybe like clear waters
Clarity
You’re so so refreshing
Or as deep as the night sky
When I close my eyes
I wake yearning you
[Chorus]
Aurora Borealis
My life is brighter with you
Kaleidoscope of glass
You picked up my pieces and made me anew
There’s no mistaking
Like your dimples
You and I are imperfect
But imperfections can be filled with gold
We already make the perfect mold
Perfect mold
Perfect mold
[Verse 2]
I wouldn’t say lilac
As gentle as you are, you are my rock
You’ll always have my back
Like the rainbow of greys from my shadow on summer days
So maybe tangerine
As sweet and as tart as the fruit
I know you’re starting to hate these comparisons
But I love the blush they get out of you
Out of you
Out of you
Out of you
[Chorus]
Aurora Borealis
My life is brighter with you

Dead eyes
Sullen skin
And an itching
I can’t get rid of
Your horror-shrieks
Drown out my thinking
As though we did any of that tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
A trail of blood
Runs from your hood
And it might as well be mine
When I tried to let go
You held on tighter
As you swerved with a pained smile
And I knew
[Chorus]
We’ve crossed the line
We’ve crossed the line
There’s no going back
There’s no going back
This time
We’ve crossed the line
We’ve crossed the line
We’ll never be
Oh, we’ll never be
The same
[Verse 2]
I always let my anger
Fester on the surface
It was a red flag when you said that was my most attractive trait
You found a way to burrow, inside
Made a home in the part of me that died
You were happiest when you made a mess of my life
Now, as he lays motionless
Gasping through each breath,
Because I didn’t push you away,
You reach out a hand
“Everything will be alright”
You say that with such confidence
And I can only look at you with hatred and spite
[Pre-Chorus]
A trail of blood
Runs from your hood
And it might as well be mine
When I tried to let go
You held on tighter
As you swerved with a pained smile
And I knew
[Chorus]
We’ve crossed the line
We’ve crossed the line
There’s no going back
There’s no going back
This time
We’ve crossed the line
We’ve crossed the line
I’ll never be
Oh, I’ll never be

Autumn’s my favorite season
The wind always gives me a reason
To move in any direction
Like I could fall
And trust the weight of her arms
[Post-Chorus]
Yellow, red, and orange leaves breezin’
Upturn my nose like a lantern sneezin’
Love the spices wafting down the hall
And the sweet sound of my mother’s dinner call
[Verse 1]
Skipping down the ravine
Watching the neighborhood kids scream
Crunching leaves and bouncing curls
I’m out of place wearing my finest pearls
But I’ll never say no to my inner child
As ridiculous as that sounds
So, I join in the fun
If not for a little while
[Chorus]
Autumn’s my favorite season

April showers
Oh, winding hours
Are some of the things
That get me through the dullest days
Pitter patter
It sounds like chatter
As the rain
Drip drop drop drops on my polka dot umbrella
Messy chalk
Running down the street
Sweeping up childhood memories
I’ll only ever live again
In my head
[Chorus]
Reminiscing
All I’ve been missing
Drowning out the curve balls I’ve been thrown
To deal with
Another day
[Verse 2]
There goes Howard
The talking flower
Giving Ms. Petunia a hard time
He always
Wants to play
[Bridge]
Skipping down the street
I watch bubbles pop and
Little guppies swim on an anemone school bus
So much to explore
Never enough time to enjoy
A colorful world in a rainfall’s backdrop
[Chorus]
Reminiscing
All I’ve been missing
Drowning out the curve balls I’ve been thrown
To deal with
Another day

When the show ends
And Mrs. Artichoke
Puts her fluffle to sleep
I wonder when the next rainbow
Will show
