nadjadance Just listened to the whole thing and OMG immediately 10/10!!!! Personally, ā€œlove me or leave meā€ is my favorite track on the album but when I got to the last song it felt like you were giving a hug to your past self. The feels in this album are just Aaaaah! Itā€™s sooo goooooood! Canā€™t wait to get the CD and shirt in the mail. You ate this, amazing work!!!!! Favorite track: Love Me or Leave Me.

Boys 01:49
You loved the least and won the most And I learned to breathe in a vacuum You build me up to break me down again Again and again What do I get for being your best friend Self-hate and a Christ complex Boys swing with their eyes closed Boys never seem to know How much it costs to love them
2.
RHCP 04:45
We drove to the concert together I was holding the wheel You thumbed through RHCP CDs I had sorted by year I'm not lying when I tell you They're still my favorite band But when "Under the Bridge" played I wish you held my hand Hey I'll be waiting for you only I have eyes for you It's not been perfect but it's something I need to be true I think you can tell what I'm feeling I'm afraid of it, too So you fix your gaze to the ceiling When I walk in the room Am I dying to be like you Or just to be your man Hey I'll be waiting for you only I have eyes for you It's not been perfect but it's something I need to be true Hey, hey I am ready, yeah I am ready, yeah When you give me something Hey, hey I am ready, yeah I am ready, yeah Hey I'll be waiting for you only I have eyes for you Hey I'll be waiting for you only I have eyes for you It's not been perfect but it's something I need to be true I scratched your name on my skin It's not going anywhere 'Till we burn up in the sun

Let Me Down 03:48
I think a lot about it I guess I forgot to let it out But don't blame me I was just waiting for the right time Okay I'm sorry I was afraid you'd be pissed off But don't worry that you might let me down I do that every day in some new and fun way I let myself down I let myself down I'm scared I'll never make it But on the other hand I'm scare to death I'll make it So I don't leave I've been inside my head for hours And it gets lonely I think this is where I get off But don't worry that you might let me down I do that every day in some new and fun way I let myself down I let myself down Down Down Down I've been living like the world is ending And it's getting fucking boring As if I was ever up at all But don't worry that you might let me down I do that every day in some new and fun way It's always But don't worry that you might let me down I do that every day in some new and fun way I let myself down I let myself down

I'm sitting in the parking lot of a strip mall down the street And I'm thinking about driving all the way to New York City Two days on the interstate doesn't sound that bad to me No, the worst part is accepting that you don't know I exist Is it legal to park here for an hour If I don't go in the shop Do you think they'll call the cops 'Cuz this feeling is more real than the pavement But sitting in my car I don't feel real at all I bet this happened to my dad once I bet he's been there before But I'm damn sure not gonna call him I'm damn sure not gonna call him I bet this happened to my dad once I bet he's been there before But I'm damn sure not gonna call him I'm damn sure not gonna call him

I left your house just after midnight You had to bring some sins to light We talked for hours locked in your bedroom But the confession ended soon Is that what you wanted Is that all you wanted from me I'm not sleeping much these days Thoughts of you keep me awake I've got symptoms of being in love So why does it feel so bad Love me or leave me These quiet gestures are leaving landmines It's not that safe here in my head I'm not afraid of playing Jesus If that's what gets me in your bed Is that more than you wanted from me I'm not sleeping much these days Thoughts of you keep me awake I've got symptoms of being in love So why does it feel so bad Love me or leave me Love me or leave me Love me or leave me Love me or leave me You got what you wanted You got what you wanted I'm not sleeping much these days 'Cuz you're keeping me awake I've got symptoms of being in love So why does it feel so bad

Vibe 03:52
Stuck a needle in my skin again Just to prove that I'm alive In my head so much I want to crawl out of my skull Yeah I want it all but you don't vibe with that Vibe with that Vibe with that Yeah Stuck a needle in my skin again It's a pain I can control If I'm gonna hurt I wanna do it to myself I'll do it to myself I'll do it to myself, yeah I want it all but you don't vibe with that Vibe with that Vibe with that Yeah This is more than one conversation This is more than one conversation This is more than one conversation This is more than one conversation

Dream Park 04:00
I know it's been It's been a long time but it feels like yesterday We went to the park long after dark to talk You took me home the rest of the year when you turned sixteen I couldn't drive Maybe that's why we got so close Some peoples' stuck is some peoples' free And I have decided it matters to me Getting the help that you need What does that mean What does that mean Off-white CRV The song of the week and a thousand mix CDs It felt like a shrine, the inside of your mind, I would know When I heard you say You're having a kid I felt something strong And settling down in our parents' town Are you okay Is this okay with you Some peoples' stuck is some peoples' free And I have decided it matters to me Getting the help that you need What does that mean Yeah Some peoples' stuck is some peoples' free And I have decided it matters to me Getting the help that you need What does that mean I've been holding back for way too long Now maybe Maybe it's time that we talk

I wish you could see yourself right now I wish you could see yourself right now You're talking to me You're talking to me You're talking to me and it's so sad I wish you could see yourself right now I wish you could see yourself right now You're talking to me You're talking to me You're talking to me and it's so sad So sad
