Blue green 02:30
What if it's unfair cause i just learned how to wear myself this year And understand my relevance as new and rare and real Validate my stomach ache and tell me how you feel Cause I’m blue you’re green and the best thing that I’ve ever seen Handsome and then some but dumb Cause you can't seem to see me What if it made sense and my breaths weren't quite as dense and time was mine I understand your relevance is rare and real and new Treat me like I’m someone else cause I’ll be her for you Cause I'm blue you’re green and the best thing that I've ever seen Handsome and then some but dumb Cause you can't seem to see me What if you stay home and I give you time to know and august comes And summer’s rendered both of us new and real and rare Write me into everything and show me that you care Cause I'm blue you’re green and the best thing that I’ve ever seen Handsome and then some but dumb Cause you can't seem to see me

Easy 00:35
Tell me truly do I do it for you My bike’s a little small to ride but I’d ride it anywhere to see you Follow me around like you’ve got nowhere to be Let every conversation finally feel easy

Let me in 02:55
You’re so smart I’m the youngest that I’ll ever been again And what does it mean To not know what the ends like and all of the sudden feel comfortable dancing and not really care if it looks right Get me, let me in Under the pretense of delicate limbs Believe that i’m pretty beneath all this skin Unwrap me and tap me and let me win Find me out Know that i’m funny in person too Learn what we look like Alone in your room with my hips halfway lit by your bedside lamp light and feel bad for the months of your oversight Get me, let me in Under the pretense of delicate limbs Believe that i’m pretty beneath all this skin Unwrap me and tap me and let me win Make me doubt The knack history has for repeating itself Take me down Cause I’m gathering dust on the top of the shelf And my waist is too narrow to never be touched And I’ve never felt this kind of nothing so much Get me, let me in Under the pretense of delicate limbs Believe that i’m pretty beneath all this skin Unwrap me and tap me and let me win Get me, let me in Under the pretense of delicate limbs Believe that i’m pretty and witty and thin Unwrap me and tap me and let me win

Next door 02:35
Playing it cool Cover my mouth when I’m laughing One week till school starts And you poetry isn’t about me Burn all the rules None of them seem to apply Too young to be jaded And too old to be batting my eyes And I can’t imagine kissing you Cause I don’t know what you’d look like right before You’re nothing near what I’m used to I’ll never be the girl next door I had a dream We were lying out next to a tennis court under a tree You told me that you liked my hands I’ve been told i have nice hands And I can’t imagine kissing you Cause I don’t know what you’d look like right before You’re nothing near what I’m used to I’ll never be the girl next door And I won’t write it down And I won’t say it outloud And I can’t imagine kissing you Cause I don’t know what you’d look like right before You’re nothing near what I’m used to I’ll never be the girl next door

I bet 03:30
Talk to me for hours while you’re high And then on Saturday night Take the train to her place in the city where all that nice furniture must make her look so pretty I’m not embarrassing when the lights are out I’m not embarrassing when your mouth is on my mouth I’m not embarrassing when we’re alone And I bet you’d even do it if No one else could know Talk to me for hours on the phone Cause you know I know things she doesn’t know Act like she’s a piece of modern art But staring at a painting doesn't make you smart I’m not embarrassing when the lights are out I’m not embarrassing when your mouth is on my mouth I’m not embarrassing when we’re alone And I bet you’d even do it if No one else could know She’s cold and you know she’s cold Cosmopolitan and mean and unemotional She’ll ignore you at a party if the room is full Talk to me for hours in your car I’ll keep my seat belt buckled I know we’re not going far It's lonely on the inside I wish somebody had told That turning seventeen won’t make you any older

Get into the front seat Keep your eyes to the side I’m always the first to say Then you drive me to highland and get me really high and Laugh with your eyes closed and swollen More relaxed than before and to think that I swore that I’d stop it But I couldn't stop shit And now you're quiet in the back of my mind And I’m still bothered by the time you give to any girl whose name and face and personality’s not mine And if I said I wasn’t I’d be lying Lying 15 and it’s hard to focus Infect my mind at a moment’s notice Know this, i knew it all along It was the face and the braces you thought were wrong And every bitch that you toss into a stanza lands a lyric In one of my brand new songs One of my brand new songs Angry and jealous and everything is green And did you mean it when you said you’d maybe do it unseen Did you mean it when you said you’d maybe do it unspoken Choke on empty hope and Fuck no, I’m not above it Apprehensive attention lovin attention lovin 16 I’m settled into a newer din It’s louder here And painfully apparent it’s another not my year again Has it ever been my year pretend I’m tough and unaffected by 10,000 misdirections Invite me to a concert in the middle of the week And speak to me in ways I'm pretty sure just friends don’t speak I've been distracted ever since i had that dream That dream that dream that dream 17 and I think I get and don’t regret our kind of love Overwhelmingly consumingly okay with just this much I’ll touch you in a million ways you won’t touch ____ (lol) And its freeing and I don’t mind And It’s freeing to know that we’re nothing and you’re mine It’s freeing to know that we’re nothing and you’re mine It’s freeing to know that we’re nothing

Did you hear it in my voice when i spoke and choked on the soundwaves coming out of my throat She's prettier than me and that's fair and fine but it stings like a punch decked with heavy rings I’m embarrassing Cause i'm not a ghost i get it But i have flesh unlike the rest so i'll sweat it Thighs stuck to subway seats in city summer heat city summer heat Can you see it in my chest when i take a breath Swallow hard in the front seat of your car She's prettier than me and at least i know it so it doesn't feel as bad So it doesn't feel as bad Ill listen to the music that you like And I'll learn to like it too Why am i trying so hard to be appealing to you Lying by omission every time you're in my kitchen Standing by the stove thinking You don't know me And I don’t feel as tall as i usually do when i'm wearing these shoes I think in hypotheticals i get though i'll let it go But first i wanna know Are you into me or am i dumber than i thought Ill listen to the music that you like And I'll learn to like it too Why am i trying so hard to be appealing to you

Xray eyes 03:43
I’ve never been so many men And i hate that both of you are friends Say my name so I know I’m not dead Unwittingly fuck with my 50 pound head And fit at the foot of my bed What i wouldn't do To look like how she does to you Give me someone else's shoes to walk in until brand new Till im a girl like her who gets to choose Alone in my room i can feel my blood thick All of my fuckups have led up to this All of my friends are all wrong but it's alright Cause there's something secure in your Xray eyes I feel it all the time Living with a heavy mind Am I really ever fine, no Seek affirmations I can’t find, so Possessive over something that’s not mine Alone in my room i can feel my blood thick All of my fuckups have led up to this All of my friends are all wrong but it's alright Cause there's something secure in your Xray eyes My mouth looks better shut Notice how my hip bones jut I’m good at making smart boys laugh but I get it now that’s just one half of Knowing what they want and being that Alone in my room i can feel my blood thick All of my fuckups have led up to this All of my friends are all wrong but it's alright Cause there's something secure in your Xray eyes

One day i’m gonna be famous I don't need a degree for you to know what my name is I'll tell jokes about hoes that i know and i've known, and i know That I'll make a lot of money while i'm at it While i'm at it, might i add that One day you're gonna regret that you didn’t hit it when you had the chance Shout out to all the boys in the back Shout out to all the boys in the back with the straps of their backpacks tightened up to their necks One day I’m gonna be funny Write award winning jokes on a couch made of money Ill wake up next to much older men and get headaches from all of the stuff in my head Shout out to all the books that I've read Shout out to all the books that I've read and the fifty shades copy I keep under my bed
