Waist Down 03:47
V1: Fading slowly only know the parts we show it’s not enough to hold on hoping that the walls come down Dreaming of the way we practice out our love These struggling actors so tough hoping for another round Don’t you have another way to keep us up all night Tell me that you’ve got something up your sleeve to make this wrong feel right CH: We’re only happy from the waist down Giving ourselves the runaround V2: We’re still scratching at the surface Every touch called as a witness All our nights called into question now Tell me don’t you have another way to keep us feeling this high Gotta hope I got something up my sleeve to make this wrong feel right BR: We’re still hiding in dark corners Fueled by lovers gone before us

Part of You 03:09
V1: Tear my heart out cause it suits you Take up all my air so I can breathe you Above me now act like a virtue Pulling harder, harder than you need to I know I’m better, better off now leaving it alone I know I’m still avoiding knowing wanna stay in the unknown CH: Holding on like I’m afraid of falling Craving a little release from wanting Tell me what you want Tell me what you want What you wanna do Cause I’m a part of you V2: Every moment like a portrait Body framed and caged within your tight grip Just look away cause I can't fight it Matching every move got me addicted I know I’m better, better off now That I should be free Told me that I should run far from you But these legs won’t carry me CH2: Letting it go is the kinder option Walking away knowing we’ve got something Tell me what you want Tell me what you want What you wanna do Cause I’m a part of you
3.
Body Talk 03:12
V1: Doesn’t take a lot to know my days are numbered Can you draw a map to where you disappear Like a pill lost in your cabinet I’ve expired Doesn’t take a lot to know but I don’t want to hear Ch: Until you say it out loud it doesn’t really count So I shut your mouth Take up the space somehow Let my body talk Cause it’s got a lot to say now Until you say it out loud it doesn’t really count Take up every sound Won’t let you spit it out Let my body talk Choking every word from your mouth V2: I’ve become a master of distraction Using every skill I’ve learned to silence truth Your impending loss leads to some shady actions But I’ll do anything it takes I’m not losing you Br: So don't say you wanna talk Don't say you wanna talk Don't say it Don't let the ball drop
4.
Over You 03:49
V1: Digging deeper roots of fear that weed me out Cut it out Follow orders, keep in line or be shut down Cut it out Why do you control my heart to take me down and then apart? Egg shell walking, barely talking Different now CH: Why, the way you love ain't right The way you love The way you love Why can't I get over you? V2: Drunk on promise opened you before your time Gotta pour you out Couldn't see it, blinded by a perfect sight Couldn't help myself Why do you control my heart to take me down and then apart? I'm treading water, trading offers Waiting around BR: Why do you control my heart to take me down and then apart? Why do you control my heart Control my heart? Why can't I get over you?
5.
Last Time 03:09
V1: How'd I get so close? Tripping over the same rope Should have called it Falling as you float Say "that's the way it goes" V2: How'd I get so mad? Crawling through familiar sand Pull me closer just to pull me back Show me the upper-hand CH: I said this is the last time I said this is the last time You're not getting away with it You're not getting away with it V3: How'd I get so wrong? Undo all the work I've done Thought I was stronger Am I the only one Caught up for way too long BR: Don't fool me just tell me I'm on my own, on my own Just fool me don't tell me I'm on my own, on my own

V1: Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do to you My mind is racing I’m a car crash Look away Going up in flames for you I’ve seen it all so this feels stranger Wait for your call Your face is danger Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do to you Pre: Feels the right fit You’re like an ache that just won’t quit Ch: Just one touch I’m underworked and overtired Oh give me something to try Been dreaming every night We give it up and cross the line Waste my time I’m overwhelmed Under the wire Eyes that cut like a knife Been dreaming every night We give it up and cross the line Let’s finally cross the line this time V2: Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do to you It’s no secret I’m a torn down, messed up sucker that’s hooked on you I’ve never had a taste that’s sweeter So take it all Just pull the trigger Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do to you Br: I’ve seen it all so this feels stranger Wait for your call Your face is danger Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do Let’s start talking ‘bout what I wanna do

Ghost 03:43
V1: Paper thin I waste away Caught up in an endless phase Trying to tell myself you'll fade While clinging to the mess we made Keep me waiting anticipating You keep me waiting anticipating And now I know what I've been missing Ch: Cause I feel your body like a ghost Breathing in me everywhere I go Even when she's with me We're not alone Her hands are your hands wrapped around my throat V2: You are best loved from afar Cause when you're close we both leave scars So bury me to make it stop And don't come back to dig me up You keep me waiting anticipating keep me waiting anticipating And now I know what I've been missing
