Catch On Fire

Honeydew
My honey don’t
Know the ways to my shores
Don’t have the oars to my boat
I travel alone
I turned back time now I’m heading home
I’d like to extend to you my desires
A passion turned pyre
But I cannot concede that my dream’s a liar
So if you strike the match
I’ll catch on fire
Long ago
I was a towering flame
But a storm had blown
Now I don’t burn the same
I’m smoking sideways
Ashen eyes and crowded highways
I’d like to extend to you my desires
A passion turned pyre
But I cannot concede that my dream’s a liar
So if you strike the match
I’ll catch on fire

Daydreamer

I get so caught up
I was born a daydreamer
I get so deep in
I think I bleed water
I keep trying to look
But I get caught in a stare
And when I reel in my hook
It turns out nobody’s there
But I can’t help but believe in
An illusion of that your ocean's in my bay
You don’t even know I miss you
You don’t even know my last name
And you can’t understand what I’ve been through
'Cause the language we speaks not the same
Ain't that a shame
I Woke up in a dream
Left my heart in your bed
I’m in a different country
But I feel your hands in my hair
Back to reality
But I don’t know if I like it
I don’t know what I’m trying
To feel
Oh
You don’t even know I miss you
You don’t even know my last name
And you can’t understand what I’ve been through
'Cause the language we speaks not the same
Ain't that a shame
How we could be so close
Now were so far
We could be so close
Now were so far
We could be so close
Now were so far
Away
You don’t even know I miss you
You don’t even know my last name
And you can’t understand what I’ve been through
'Cause the language we speaks not the same
Ain't that a shame

Ruined
03:05

No young romance
No long term lover
To hold my hand
In uncharted water
I moved away
I was a woman
Tired of waiting
On love’s illusions but
I know I know
It was foolish
And I know it showed
I was new at this
I thought alone
I could do it
But for a long time
I was ruined
And so I settled
On someone I barely knew
I needed to know
How it would feel
So I lost my head
In the bottom of a glass
To numb my soul
But the shame would last
I know I know
It was foolish
I know it showed
I was new at this
I thought alone
I could do it
But for a long time
I was ruined
I had my fill
But I wasn’t finished
The doors blew open
On years of this shit
I tried to hide
The way i felt
But alone in the darkness
I misplaced myself
I know I know
It was foolish
I know it showed
I was new at this
And I thought alone
I could do it
But for a long time
I was ruined

Girlfriend
02:57

We went for a ride on my bicycle
I wanted to find light for a little
We drank liquor right from the icicle
You admitted I told you right from the start
I know who we are
And I know where I’m at
And if you want a lover
I can be that
But I held it in my eyes
I told you in the end
That nothing is for free
And I don’t want to be
Anybody’s Girlfriend
Anybody’s Girlfriend
I held it in my eyes
And I told you in the end
Nothing is for free
And I don’t want to be
Anybody’s
Anybody’s Girlfriend
You know there’s something about you still
That keeps me leaning into my will
But I better be wiser than the thrill
I denied my body high
For peace of mind
I know who we are
And I know where I’m at
And if you want a lover
I can be that
But I held it in my eyes
And I told you in the end
That nothing is for free
And I don’t want to be
Anybody’s Girlfriend
Anybody’s Girlfriend
I held it in my eyes
And I told you in the end
Nothing is for free
And I don’t want to be
Anybody’s
Anybody’s Girlfriend
{Eartha Kitt audio sample}
I don’t want to be
Anybody’s Girlfriend
Anybody’s Girlfriend
I held it in my eyes
And I told you in the end
Nothing is for free
And I don’t want to be
Anybody’s
Anybody’s Girlfriend

Free (Radio Edit)
03:20

All my plants are dying
And I am at a loss
I’ve tried all of the tryings
Still they’re fading off
Oh my room is dirty
No matter how I clean
I’ve tried finding a place for everybody
But there’s just no more room left for me
Oh I guess it’s time to see
Oh I’m living Iife for me
Oh there’s no shame to be
A woman who wants to be free
A woman who wants to be
A woman who wants to be
All my cupboards are empty
But I’ve spent all my money on food
Once was a time of plenty
But my resources have been abused
All my floors are dusty
But every fucking day I sweep
Oh it takes two to tangle in a city
I’m afraid no more heartbeats can I safe keep
Oh I guess it’s time to see
Oh I’m living Iife for me
Oh there’s no shame to be
A woman who wants to be free
A woman who wants to be
A woman who wants to be
All my clothes are shrinking
No matter how much I work out
The weight of the world has me sinking
And I think it’s time I finally get out
All my windows are broken
And I can’t seem to shut out the noise
So I’ve turned my gaze
The Northern way
And since been following the sound of my voice
Oh I guess it’s time to see
Oh I’m living Iife for me
Oh there’s no shame to be
A woman who wants to be free
A woman who wants to be
A woman who wants to be

My Muse

When I feel you under my skin
I can't help myself
When I feel you on the tip of my lips
I can't help myself
You got the taste of something
I can't get enough
And when I'm feelin thirsty
You know how to fill my cup
You got the type of body
I like to touch
And when I can feel it coming
You know that I come running
Ohh
When I feel you breathe in my ear
I can't help myself
Loving you has made life so clear
I can't help myself
You got the taste of something
I can't get enough
And when I'm feelin thirsty
You know how to fill my cup
You got the type of body
I like to touch
And when I can feel it coming
You know that I come running
I can't help it
I can’t help myself from loving you
And all that you do
I can't help it
I can’t myself from loving you
My muse
When you wake me from my sleep
I can’t help myself
I can feel you from my tongue to my feet
Oh I can’t help myself
You got the taste of something
I can't get enough
& when I'm feelin thirsty
You know how to fill my cup
You got the type of body
I like to touch
And when I can feel it coming
You know that I come running
I can't help it
I can’t help myself from loving you
And all that you do
I can't help it
I can’t myself from loving you

Hey Brother

Hey brother
We don’t get to talk like we used to
We don’t get to see each other
We don’t get to see our mother
Hey brother
We don’t get to spend much time together
Why’d we have to move so far away
Why can’t we just stay in one place
'Cause it’s been a long week
And I need you by my side
I’ve gotten in too deep
And you’re the only one I’d ever call for a ride
When I’m like this
Highness
I know you’d know exactly where to hide this
Inside of your kindness
We already spend too much time alone
Hey brother
Everybody out here’s so different
All they want to do is talk business
But working ain't the only part of living
Hey brother
I think I’m getting caught in the currents
Cause I’ve been putting way too much worth in
What everybody has been doing
Its been a long week
And I need you by my side
I’ve gotten in too deep
And you’re the only one I’d ever call for a ride
When I’m like this
Highness
I know you’d know exactly where to hide this
Inside of your kindness
We already spend too much time alone
Please don’t go
You know I’d do anything for you
To stay close
While you’re gone
You know I’ll be thinking about you
Far from home
We already spend too much time alone

Home

Where will I go
And what will I see?
Where will I find home
And where will it find me?
What’s my worth
What’s my age?
I feel like time’s
Not an accurate gauge
I’m going on my own
And figuring it out
I’m sad to say goodbye
But I’ll leave without a doubt
Of who I want to be
Open and free
And if you get lonely
You can come and stay
You can stay with me
But don’t cry
I know time flies
But now’s my turn
And I will learn
I have a home
Back with
You
Where will I find
What’s rightfully mine?
Will I find love?
I want to be loved.
And who will I be
What will come of me?
Will I be heard?
These thoughts haunting me
But don’t cry
I know time flies
But now’s my turn
And I will learn
I have a home
Back with
You

Happy To Have You
04:03

I wish that I could talk to you
I wish that I could tell you how I feel
I wish that I could walk with you
I wish that I could have you here
I wish that I could settle down with you
I wish that we could find some common ground
I wish that we could make our way back to each other
And lay our roots down
‘Cause it’s the little things I’ve been missing
Like having coffees in the kitchen
Now we’re playing phone-tag
Time difference messing the whole thing up
But I’m still gonna drop you a line
Because I’ve got you on my mind
I know I’ve said it a thousand times
But it’s never enough
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you in my life
(Have you in my life, life)
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you in my life
(Have you in my life, life)
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you
I wish that I could love on ya
I wish that I could hold your hand
I wish that I could piss you off
So we could make it all right again
I wish that we could work together
I wish that I could wake up everyday
And know if I wanted I could ride to your apartment
Like the good old days
‘Cause it’s the little things I’ve been missing
Like having coffees in the kitchen
Now we’re playing phone-tag
Time difference messing the whole thing up
But I’m still gonna drop you a line
Because I’ve got you on my mind
I know I’ve said it a thousand times
But it’s never enough
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you in my life
(Have you in my life, life)
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you in my life
(Have you in my life, life)
I just wanted you to know that I’m happy to have you
