verse one -
I want to be on a flight to LA
See the sun rise from my window seat
I’ve got this ache that just wants to get away
Watch the clouds turn pink in a different city
pre chorus -
I could be in a prettier place with different people
But I don’t think that I would change
Cause all the shadows in me the ugly things they
Follow me round and they say
chorus -
Who do you think you are
And where do you think you’re going
You’re running in circles love
Running away from growing up
You know that wherever you are
The pieces of you are still around
You know that wherever you are
You’re running away from growing up
Running away from growing up
verse two -
I want to be on a flight to LA
To a place where no one knows where I came from
I could pack up and I could go today
Watch the clouds turn gold as I leave my city

Ache

verse one -
I know I still exist
In the stories you tell your friends
What am I now
And are you still the victim?
How do you describe me?
When you girlfriend wants to know
All about us
And why the fuck do I still care
chorus -
Hey love remember how we got so close to forever
And you had a question
And I got close to saying yes
Hey love remember we were flirting round with forever
Now I can’t imagine
If I had gone through saying yes
Cause we’re not forever and ever and ever
verse two -
I can just slip away
Like a ghost from friends we share
I’ll make it right
I’ve always made it easy
bridge -
Let the sky open up
Fill the ocean with what I lost
All you left was an ache
I don’t know if it ever stops
Oh my love oh to me
You were glitter and grass stains
You were nightmares and headaches
And the most beautiful thing
The most beautiful thing

Lonely

Verse one-
All I wanna do is write sad songs
Sit in my room gonna stay home
Stare at the ceiling it ain’t great
I can feel the cold this winter
The type in my bones so brittle
The type that I try not to bring back home
Pre-chorus
Everybody
Cleared out for the holidays and
I sat in the living room and
Let all the dust settle around me
I understand
I’m just doing it to myself
Wrap warm in a blanket and I
Forget about the world that I see
Chorus -
Cause in my head it’s just
Just me
Just me
And it gets lonely lonely lonely lonely
And I don’t want to admit it
Not me
But I get lonely lonely lonely lonely
Verse two -
All I wanna do is cling to walls
Elle asked me where I’ve been
Choking on my words it ain’t great
Bridge-
I look up at the stars and I feel the bottom of my heart drop out for a second
I look up at the stars and I wonder if God holds all of my tears in a bucket

Body

Verse one -
Didn’t get told in words
It was more like stupid jokes
When I was a little girl
Like a sponge I soaked it all up
Read between the lines
Figured it’d be easier
To laugh and say it’s fine
It must have been an accident
Pre chorus -
What am I doing
What am I doing
I forgot I belong to myself
Chorus -
They’ve been yelling out the car window at me
Saying baby spin around spin round for me
But I’ve been thinking for the first time now that
Nah I want my body back
I want my body back
They keep yelling as I’m walking down the street
And for years I pretend I’m not listening
But I’ve been starting to say it in whispers
Nah I want my body back
Oh I want my body back
Oh I want my body back
I want my body back
Verse two -
It wasn’t just one time
It was building up for years
And every story I
Had assumed was just the deal
Part of being young
Part of being a woman
I’d always say it’s fine
It must have been an accident

Heaven

Verse one -
I used to be so scared of heaven
I used to believe that we’d be singing forever
Pre-chorus -
I fell out of it
Into empty space
I can hear my nephew laughing
Kissing you with a split lip
Chorus -
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven
Verse two -
I’d sit in the front row watching like a good kid on Sunday
I was just 15
He’s spitting and shaking
Yelling praying sweating
And his veins attack his neck
Bridge -
Sometimes I miss my Jesus
My nursery rhyme Jesus
The one I’d pray to in the dark
