'cause of You

You were the first and only person to care
So now I give you the key to my heart
Life is a huge puzzle, and guess who's the missing
piece?

I was told, true love is only in movies
What are you talking about?
I believed them like a fool, until I saw beauty
In the form of an angel, no doubts

Now I'll go and write on a sticky note
All my deepest secrets and wishes
All I need or want
The sun is shining brighter 'cause of you
Former gray skies clearer 'cause of you
If I died right now, I'd die happily

S-slippery roads ahead, icy, cold, freeze your smiles off
Shades of black and white flash on by
Oh, what a wonder to see
Oh, only cause I have you next to me

I was told, true love is only in movies
What are you talking about?
I believed them like a fool, until I saw beauty
In the form of an angel, no doubts

Now I'll go and write on a sticky note
All my deepest secrets and wishes
All I need or want
The sun is shining brighter 'cause of you
Former gray skies clearer 'cause of you
If I died right now, I'd die happily

Nothing is better than a smile from you
A smile is all I need
Everyone says flowers are the thing to get a girl
But eventually the love dies along with the roses

Now I'll go and write on a sticky note
All my deepest secrets and wishes
All I need or want
The sun is shining brighter 'cause of you
Former gray skies clearer 'cause of you
If I died right now, I'd die happily

Violet Skies

I think about you, we're miles away, but our minds are stitched together and standing strong
We pick up on our premonitions
We're so in sync, it's not just a coincidence
Everyone else can see it

Gorgeous radiant blue like the ocean in your eyes
Only one name gets that rush in my blood
Didn't think blue and red could work so well
We're projecting violet skies
Where cloud nine takes its shape

Sitting around, in silence, reading each other's thoughts
Unspoken language, we know exactly what we mean
No one else knows like we do
One gaze is all we need to feel complete

Gorgeous radiant blue like the ocean in your eyes
Only one name gets that rush in my blood
Didn't think blue and red could work so well
We're projecting violet skies
Where cloud nine takes its shape

Drew a permanent smile on myself when I saw your face
Kind of knew it would end up this way
Over a year and counting, how much more do
we have to wait?

Gorgeous radiant blue like the ocean in your eyes
Only one name gets that rush in my blood
Didn't think blue and red could work so well
We're projecting violet skies
Where cloud nine takes its shape

Hit Me Up

You're that cutie over there, rockin' that hoodie
Dope beats blasting through your earbuds
Time's a wastin' alone, when you could be alone with me

So come on, go and hit me up
Hit me up with a hello and a smile
I like the way your smile decorates your face
If you need a hug, when someone steals your laugh away
I'll be here, I'll be there, I won't leave you hanging
I won't leave you alone when you want someone to talk to
Hit me up, decorate your smile onto my face this dreary day

Little do you know, I have a lot to say to you
That I can't say to your face
Lots of loving words that are pulling me back from action
My fantasies are better than my reality
Well you can make up my true fantasy

So come on, go and hit me up
Hit me up with a hello and a smile
I like the way your smile decorates your face
If you need a hug, when someone steals your laugh away
I'll be here, I'll be there, I won't leave you hanging
I won't leave you alone when you want someone to talk to
Hit me up, decorate your smile onto my face this dreary day

When this song comes creeping in your ears
When it blasts in your car, know you're not alone

So come on, go and hit me up
Hit me up with a hello and a smile
I like the way your smile decorates your face
If you need a hug, when someone steals your laugh away
I'll be here, I'll be there, I won't leave you hanging
I won't leave you alone when you want someone to talk to
Hit me up, decorate your smile onto my face this dreary day

Facade

I am lost, wondering what's to come
Only a dead end in sight
Come on, turn red to a green light
Looking in even the sharpest turns
Seeking the one, the only one, I've ever loved so much

Why should I have to hide behind a façade?
If I take it off, you would never want me
Anyone would take the cheerleader over the nerd any day
I've been keeping it up, can I get my pay?

If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me?
I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry
I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to
Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new
People should like me for who I am

Yawning, I'm tired, but not 'cause of what you think
Tired of empty promises in the fools full hands
But curious, curious of what I don't know
Can I, can I take the wheel
And stabilize the critics land

Why should I have to hide behind a façade?
If I take it off, you would never want me
Anyone would take the cheerleader over the nerd any day
I've been keeping it up, can I get my pay?

If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me?
I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry
I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to
Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new
People should like me for who I am

Let the walls come down
Let the haters drown

If I drop my alter ego, would you still love me?
I'll break it in a second and I won't be sorry
I don't wanna hide anymore, never wanted to
Don't need to be a size two, don't need clothes brand new
People should like me for who I am

Adventure

Why do I always cross the line?
Why do I keep putting my expectations so high?
Now it's worth the chasing
Time's running out to get you alone

My mind had brakes that broke a thousand miles ago
Left in the dust, can't stop now
Pull out that Ferrari, race off into infinity

Now you keep invading my mind
If you're a drug, I'm hooked
You move and I stop everything
Just to get a glimpse of you
Every second with you is an adventure
Every day with you is an adventure

We'll be livin' with smiles on our faces
Picture me in a dress covered with multicolored laces
Countin' stacks of cash in my mansion
I'm high on satisfaction
Pulling out my Lexus, cruisin' down I-95
We'll brag to everyone on Instagram live
Blast our favorite songs
Your voice is angelic in stereo
They all wish they could have this

You move and I stop everything
Just to get a glimpse of you
Every second with you is an adventure
Every day with you is an adventure

We could get lost, look up at the starry night
Look in our eyes till the sparks ignite
Hold me tight
All my friends say we're the cutest sight
Let's go and prove them right

You move and I stop everything
Just to get a glimpse of you
Every second with you is an adventure
Every day with you is an adventure

And life would still be an adventure
As long as it's with you

Daydreams

Other fish in the sea
None of them are for me
I'm an average person stuck in the waters
Knee deep, looking for the pirate's treasure trove
Don't mind me, I don't mind
Don't need someone to hold me down

Soon I'm set to fly, off into uncharted territories
No man's land become our man's game
We have to let go sometime

I still love you after all this time
Fears spread through my daydreams
The sand in the hourglass dissipates in desperation
As it screams for time that ceases to exist

I said it was gonna be a new year, new me
Can't even remember what happened yesterday
One thing I will always keep in my mind
Is how hard I fell in the past
Now it is the thing that'll happen last

But this year's different, this is a love story waiting for fate to finally see
That this chapter's gonna be like no other
Open the cover and reveal the contents

I still love you after all this time
Fears spread through my daydreams
The sand in the hourglass dissipates in desperation
As it screams for time that ceases to exist

See, I know I can be a vow breaker
Promised myself to not fall hard for guys
But you're an exception
And here I am!

I still love you after all this time
Fears spread through my daydreams
The sand in the hourglass dissipates in desperation
As it screams for time that ceases to exist

10 Out of 10

Can't wait till the day we exchange I love you's
I see you, you're my favorite view
More picturesque than the prettiest sunset
More beautiful than any I've ever met

He's a Gucci guy in an ordinary world
His smile lights the room as he walks in
Did I see some angel wings?
Did I see a halo?
He's looking like a 10, all the girls mutter amen, amen

My old navy jacket's looking blue
But that Gucci gold's shining bright

It's not just the way you smile
I could be your shoulder to cry on
I feel that connection, a Versace connection
Something's there
I'm love blind, but I can still see the love
I'm deaf, but I can still hear our rapid heartbeats in perfect syncopation
My nerves are crushed, but I can still feel that connection

He's a Gucci guy in an ordinary world
His smile lights the room as he walks in
Did I see some angel wings?
Did I see a halo?
He's looking like a 10, all the girls mutter amen, amen

My old navy jacket's looking blue
But that Gucci gold's shining bright

You got me with that look
This love is one for the record books

Confessions

I can't speak of my love for you in just a single tweet
You bang your drums to a different beat
The way you comfort me, so sweet
Sweep my worries and illnesses away
I felt the connection from the very first day
When I thought my world turned gray
You gave it its color

I got a drawer full of confessions
If I tell them, I'll be in for a good ride
Good times, we can exceed the expectations
Lots of adventures to come with you by my side
So leave my diary on read, it'll keep you from feeling blue
Read my confessions, unfiltered

I was gonna give you the keys to open me up
You already came into my heart with the lay-up
In more ways than one
Thought all was done, but my thoughts only begun
Started wondering if I was the only girl in your mind
If I wasn't the love you were trying to find
But I'm gonna shut all that out, and think of our hands intertwined
Shining thousands of miles below the sun
Once you know that

I got a drawer full of confessions
If I tell them, I'll be in for a good ride
Good times, we can exceed the expectations
Lots of adventures to come with you by my side
So leave my diary on read, it'll keep you from feeling blue
Read my confessions, unfiltered

One day, it was the light of day
One step at a time, I'm taking this
As long as time goes bye bye
To the other dudes, I say bye bye bye
And run to you

I got a drawer full of confessions
If I tell them, I'll be in for a good ride
Good times, we can exceed the expectations
Lots of adventures to come with you by my side
So leave my diary on read, it'll keep you from feeling blue
Read my confessions, unfiltered

Getaway

Playing on the radio is a song I wrote for you
I try to not blank out on my lyrics
On your love, I feel oblivious
But I know I'm at my destination
I'm feeling this love deepen

This is the hardest that I've fallen
The biggest steps that I've taken
If life is a game, then we hacked it

Your love is a paradise
I feel it's a getaway
A getaway
Usually I would think twice
But our love is intertwined in our DNA
On my love for you, I could write a whole essay
It's a getaway

I keep trying to get a breakup song idea in my head
For my friend, we thought this guy was a jerk
But all you're doing is making me love again
Every look makes me feels special
Just a glance brings a smile to my face

This is the hardest that I've fallen
The biggest steps that I've taken
If life is a game, then we hacked it

Your love is a paradise
I feel it's a getaway
A getaway
Usually I would think twice
I'm trying not to model a cliché
Expressing how I feel is not exactly my forte
But this feels like a getaway

My friend comments that I seem excited to see you
Cause I only saved your life, that's all
Felt unimaginable, but I knew something was up
Ball pass, 80/20, remember that
That was my vision when I first saw you
This reference makes it obvious as to who I'm rapping about
Can't wait to confess my feelings on old town road
With hearts stuck in my eyes, and sparkles in yours
With twin cowboy hats and zodiac signs

This is the hardest that I've fallen
The biggest steps that I've taken

Your love is a paradise
I feel it's a getaway
A getaway
Usually I would think twice
You have me hoping that life will be okay
And all because of yesterday
I know that this is my getaway

And we're ready to fly now

Alive

Ever pick up the vibes of danger?
Ever put your heart into the wrong hands, only for that same person to drop it and break it into pieces?
I've been through the same things too
You shouldn't compare yourself to others
You have precious gifts to bring to the table too
Nobody has to read minds to know this

Endless late nights, stars twinkling in the night sky
One day, long ago, I was asking myself
Why'd people close doors on what could've been magical?
Now I'm in a new state of mind

Everyone's gonna come out alive
Break through the storm, dance in the rain
Travel into space, reach for the stars
Everyone's gonna come out alive

It's becoming a cliché to complain
Negativity is just garbage taking up tons of space in your mind
Fill it with positivity
Burn the frowns, praise the smiles
Cause life is too short for worrying

Endless late nights, stars twinkling in the night sky
One day, long ago, I was asking myself
Why'd people close doors on what could've been magical?
Now I'm in a new state of mind

Everyone's gonna come out alive
Break through the storm, dance in the rain
Travel into space, reach for the stars
Everyone's gonna come out alive

Sing like nobody's listening
Dance like nobody's watching
Lightning flashing, it's God's spotlight on you
