Sweet time

Little houses on your street
Picture perfect sceneries
I could've sworn I saw you leaving, then come back home
Good old-fashioned monopoly
You're in everything I seek
I could've sworn I saw you come back, then leave again
But you, you had to take your time (x3) your sweet time
There'll be no bad poems no sad jewelry
To tell the story of how you flee
I'll be home by the time you miss me but you my friend
You're everything I hate about me
You're every single chance I leave
And I could've sworn I heard you tell me there'd be no rain
But you, you had to take your time (x3) your sweet time
And I decided I'm not gonna lose anything else over you
And the sadness doesn't compare, but the breathing is good
The breathing is quiet, the breathing is quiet
Still you, you had to take your time (x3) your sweet time
Little houses on your street
You're in everything I seek
And I could've sworn I saw you leaving, then come back home

Kids these days

I figured I'm too young to really dive in a spleen
I figured I'm too old to shut my eyes and weep
My fears won't reach my bones if I don't let them speak
So they can tag along, but no one takes my seat
So what if I feel sore and running hurts my neck
I won't be waited for at the end of the trek
It feels like I'm winning with no blood on my fists
No end, no beginning, I don't have to fight this
Your faith won't reach my soul, nor will it tie my wrists
It feels like I'm winning, 'cause I don't have to fight this
So what if I feel sore and running hurts my neck
I won't be waited for at the end of the trek
And I feel like a guest in my own church
It knows that I'm blessed it knows I'm sure
And I feel like a guest, and I couldn't care less
oh kids these days, oh kids these days
So ask me one more time if I feel lost and scared
Come see if I'm blind, try and make my bed
If I can't build my own, then you can have my share
I've got people I call 'home' and no more time to spare
So what if I feel sore and running hurts my neck
I won't be waited for at the end of the trek

Don't tell them

Don't tell anyone I think that we're poor
The skin I'm wearing makes it hard enough to dance now
Don't you tell them how I wish I was more
Something tells me you keep guilt at a distance
Don't tell them, if anything
Don't tell them , if anything
Don't tell them, please don't tell them
Don't tell anyone I'm craving for silence
But don't tell anyone that I'm raging for war
That every battle I lose feels like home and
That I'm just madly in love with these scars
Don't tell them, if anything
Don't tell them , if anything
Don't tell them, please don't tell them
I fear the day I won't be craving for anything
And my poor ways are not worth saving for
You don't speak fear and your mind is worth a billion
Still, something tells me you wish you were more
Well I won't tell them, if you don't tell them
No I won't tell them , if you don't tell them
You can measure me heartless,
Measure me bold
You can measure me heartless
But picture me gold
You can measure me heartless
Go ahead and measure me bold
You can measure me heartless
But picture me gold, picture me gold.....
