lunar eclipse

There are eighty-eight constellations
That's what the internet says
But it also claims there's one billion trillion stars
I don't get how that makes sense
A hundred thousand million twinkling lights
And we only came up with eighty-eight ways
To connect the dots, isn't that kinda lame
Oh, we always had our names written in the stars
Oh, who knows, maybe one of those constellations is ours
We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse
Oh, why'd that feel so short
I kinda wanted to see more
Now we're gonna have to wait another year
At least I can be sure the time will go quick
Cause I'll be yours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Two trillion galaxies
And NASA's always finding more
But we both ended up here
Isn't it amazing we were born
In the same year
On this massive, floating, spinning sphere
That's four and a half billion years old
I think that's pretty bold
Oh, we always had our names written in the stars
Oh, who knows, maybe one of those galaxies could be ours
We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse
Oh, why'd that feel so short
I kinda wanted to see more
Now we're gonna have to wait another year
At least I can be sure the time will go quick
Cause I'll be yours
School taught us the solar system
But I never used to listen
You'd already shown me the stars
If they put a man on the moon
Surely there is room for us too
I say we go and claim it ours, oh
We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse
Oh, why'd that feel so short
I kinda wanted to see more
Now we're gonna have to wait another year
At least I can be sure the time will go quick
Cause I'll be yours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Lunar eclipse
Oh, you lying next to me
It's all I could ever dream

He said he's from out of town
That his parents weren't around
And he drove a chevy car
I said let's disappear
And no one has to know where we are
Eyes like the blue sky
And hair like the twilight
There's no coming back from here I fear
Oh, baby
You look like a movie scene
Picture a dark night
Filled with neon lights
From a film made back in '85
There's a little mystery
But it's all fine with me
Let's just kiss at every traffic light
And pretend we're in 1985
Oh, woah, oh
Pretend we're in 1985
He wears a gold chain
Got his hand on my waist
And the other on the wheel
Street lights passing by
No one else knows how it feels
Back roads at midnight
Him and the skyline
He's bad, but we've passed no return I fear
Oh, baby
You look like a movie scene
Picture a dark night
Filled with neon lights
From a film made back in '85
There's a little mystery
But it's all fine with me
Let's just kiss at every traffic light
And pretend we're in 1985
Oh, woah, oh
Pretend we're in 1985
People stare and wish they had
What you and I share
And when it's over
I will haunt you like a ghost, 'cause
People stare and wish they had
What you and I share
And when it's over
I will haunt you like a ghost, 'cause
Baby, you look like a movie scene
Picture a dark night
Filled with neon lights
From a film made back in '85
There's a little mystery
But it's all fine with me
Let's just kiss at every traffic light
And pretend we're in 1985
Oh, woah, oh
Pretend we're in 1985
Oh, woah, oh
Pretend we're in 1985

Phone screen, glowing
Haven't left the house in about a week
Started biting my nails out of spite
Nineteen came a little fast
How have all my friends got it figured out
While I'm anxious, uptight
And hate every word I write
Save me, it's draining
All this weight of expectations
My brain is dissipated
It's a little complicated
Pixel perfect in the phone screen
Pretty girls, why can't that be me
Just fake it, till you make it
No one wants to be outdated
Eternally stressed out
Wouldn't be surprised if my hair fell out
Say I'm biding my time
But it's passing me by
It's poker, watch me draw my cards
And everybody else will get a royal flush
Fold, don't be bold
Whoever made luck is a liar
Save me, it's draining
All this weight of expectations
My brain is dissipated
It's a little complicated
Pixel perfect in the phone screen
Pretty girls, why can't that be me
Just fake it, till you make it
No one wants to be outdated
Boyfriends, college degrees
Everyone's got things
Everyone but me
Scrolling through other's perfect lives
And suddenly it feels like I'm a little behind
Cause they've got city flats
Fancy jobs and all
If it's chess, they're kings
I'm just a pawn
I'm so sick of wanting more
What did I sign up for
Save me, it's draining
All this weight of expectations
My brain is dissipated
It's a little complicated
Pixel perfect in the phone screen
Pretty girls, why can't that be me
Just fake it, till you make it
No one wants to be outdated
Boyfriends, college degrees
Everyone's got things
Everyone but me
Scrolling through other's perfect lives
And suddenly it feels like I'm a little behind
Cause they've got city flats
Fancy jobs and all
If it's chess, they're kings
I'm just a pawn
I'm so sick of wanting more
What did I sign up for
Phone screen, glowing
Haven't left the house in about a week

watch it burn
03:02
|

ou heard I wasn't good with trust
And you tricked me into thinking I could love again
I was an open wound
Now all you needed was the salt
Foolish little me thought I was your queen
Even though all of my friends warned me
About your stolen stares at my crown
While I wasn't looking
And you held the dagger in your hand
As you looked me in the eyes
And plunged it straight into my chest
And I know I left you no choice in the end
So I guess that explains why the blood stained
Both of our bare hands
I only ever wanted to give you the world
But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn
You had a way of bending the truth
Glossing over words where it benefits you
And crossing your fingers
As you said you gave me your word
I used to hide a weapon up my sleeve
But with you I never had to worry
While I was tearing down my walls
You were planning my fall
I only ever wanted to give you the world
But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn
I wonder if we could go and relive our glory days
Would there be a chance for anything we did to change
Maybe you wouldn't have left me bleeding on the ground
And hid the evidence
And ran away to claim your crown
And you were only hoping for a bit of sweet relief
While I was fully convinced you and I were meant to be
I ignored every sign
And rose coloured your every lie
When you were never even mine
I only ever wanted to give you the world
But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn
I only wanted to give you the world
And now you'll watch me burn

one-sided love
04:45
|

Only came to this party cause I heard you were invited
Put on my best outfit
And I did my hair how you used to like it
'Come On Eileen' is playing as you make your way over
You give me a hug and a smile
Say 'it's been such a while', but your hand is holding hers
You've been seeing each other for the better part of a year
She seems kind, and has eyes that could make the ocean cry
And her name is Evelyn
I knew all of this before I came
But I just wanted to see your face
We don't talk much for the rest of the night
You dance with her, and I watch from the sideline
No force of gravity, or proximity
Could make you notice me
You've got a person who'll love you more than anything
Standing across the room, watching you
She paints your life
But it's all black and white
You deserve someone to show you every hue
You've only known her for a year
But we've been friends since we were kids
There's things she'll never understand about you
The way I do
The way I could
If this weren't a one-sided love
Smell of cold night air and cigarette smoke
As I leave through the front door
Cause there's only so long I can bear to watch you
Distracted by another
Cause we never talk anymore
You send letters to her
And then ring me once every four months
We were best friends
Now we're more like lose threads
Just hanging on to whatever's left
So much misery, endless history
Why won't you notice me
You've got a person who'll love you more than anything
Standing across the room, watching you
She paints your life
But it's all black and white
You deserve someone to show you every hue
You've only known her for a year
But we've been friends since we were kids
There's things she'll never understand about you
The way I do
The way I could
And I know she brings you flowers everyday
But they're the ones that you hate
She doesn't know every song on your favourite mixtape
The way I do
The way I could
If this weren't a one-sided love
(Oh, oh oh)
If this weren't a one-sided love
(Oh, oh, oh)
So go take your CD's
And your faded blue jeans
And the three sugars you always have
Put in your coffee
And go give it to her
Every piece of your world
That you used to share with me
If our love's a dead end
Why can't we still be friends
I'm one call away
Just ring me and say
I'm sorry for leaving you behind
How could I have ever been so blind
You've got a person who'll love you more than anything
Standing across the room, watching you
She paints your life
But it's all black and white
You deserve someone to show you every hue
You've only known her for a year
But we've been friends since we were kids
She'll never understand you
The way I do
The way I could
And I know she brings you flowers everyday
But they're the ones that you hate
She doesn't know every song on your favourite mixtape
The way I do
The way I could
If this weren't a one-sided love
(The end)
