Oh God.
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God.
Oh God.
I don’t ever want to be alone.
Maybe I should call my mom and say I’m moving home.
I’m tired of saying bless this mess
But I’m too in love with Los Angeles.
If I give up, I’ll regret it when I’m old.
Fucking off and watching trashy TV.
Spending all my twenties not believing anything.
Oh God.
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God.
Oh God.
I used to walk around downtown at night
Have conversations with strangers when they’d ask me for a light
I was smiling in the face of time
I was a touch naive but it really felt sublime
Fucking off at Starbucks. Cold brew coffee.
Spending all my twenties not believing anything.
Oh God.
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I’ve never had God.
Oh God.

Bad Thing

Wake up hand upon my forehead
Can’t believe this is the way I live
Even now. Still somehow
Told my mom it was the last time
Told myself maybe it’s ok
One more time. One more time
I don’t wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad bad bad bad bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn’t thinking
I did a bad thing
Get caught in empty conversation
Fake friends and chemical temptations
Turn it down
Turn them down
This time I will take it slowly
Say no to everything I don’t need
Turn it down
Turn it down
I don’t wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad bad bad bad bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn’t thinking
I did a bad thing

Nothing to See

I know you’ve been talking to girls on the internet
She’s only 19 and I can’t compete with that
I’ve been trying to change the way
I look so you like what you see
I’ve been losing weight so I can wear these dollskill jeans
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I’m just sad and in pain
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me.
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I’m wearing black cause you like me like that
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
There’s nothing to see here.
There’s nothing to see
My mom was relieved when she heard I was through with you
But my heart still stops when I see a green Subaru
You told me that you loved me but you mispronounced my name
I never corrected you, cause I didn’t wanna push you away
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I’m just sad and in pain
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I’m wearing black cause you like me like that
Said I would never be desperate
Look at me
There’s nothing to see here
There’s nothing to see

Cartoon Clouds

Everyday something makes me angry
Out of nowhere
Lose my temper
Can’t remember what happened
What are you laughing?
Convince me there’s something to lose.
Describe it
What’s purpose for you
Look out of the window all the clouds are cartoons
And the sky is so blue
What’s the point in being gloomy
when there’s so much else to do
Guilty when I’m not having fun
Guilty when I get nothing done
What’s the point in being down about it
Can i move on?
So uncertain bout insert whatever applies to you
Nothing works today. Can’t recalibrate
I’ve got shit attitude
Convince me there’s something to lose
Look out of the window all the clouds are cartoons
And the sky is so blue
What’s the point in being gloomy
when there’s so much else to do
Guilty when I’m not having fun
Guilty when I get nothing done
What’s the point in being down about it
Can i move on?
I’ve been really feeling
Like my doubts are getting bigger
Like my luck is just a river
That is starting to run dry
But I don’t need no luck to make you smile
Baby can we sit here for a while
Doesn’t it feel good to feel good
Doesn’t it feel good to feel good
Feels good to feel good
Feels good to feel good
Feels good to feel good
Feel good feel good

I haven’t felt safe since 2007
I haven’t felt safe since 2001
Pacing around my apartment
Keep my heart open
Call my friend in a cold sweat
Am I dying?
I don’t wanna be afraid of strangers or being lonely
I don’t wanna play it safe i’ll be brave.i’ll sing karaoke
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I haven’t felt safe since 2007
I haven’t felt safe since 2001
I’m a little girl with a woman’s past
Never gotten used to having tits and ass
Never gotten used to living alone
I swear to god it’s gotta be unnatural
I don’t wanna be afraid of aging or gaining weight
I want to take up space
I wanna get up real early and stay up late
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live

Ordinary

Put my t-shirt on
Look at myself and yawn
Is it okay to be ordinary?
Take chemicals
To try to be more whole
Maybe a fractions all I’m meant to feel
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And i wouldn’t want to
Put your makeup on
Sit on the bed and watch
I love the way you care
Enough to comb your hair
I take my tshirt off
I know it’s what you want
I love your love for me
So ordinary
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And i wouldn’t want to
Our life is small but it’s big enough for me
I don’t need any fancy things oh
Our life is small but it’s big enough for me
I can’t have it all
And I wouldn’t want to
I can’t have it all
And i wouldn’t want to

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it. I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!! (also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book)

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
