Melatonin 03:22
lyrics

LEDs and scrolling My mind is racing Mistakes I’ve rewrote Eyes fixed on the screen Bed hard as cement Dwell on days misspent Watch all my time float Away in the breeze You keep dragging me down CHORUS Nothing good happens after midnight But I can’t shut my eyes Your words will haunt me till daylight And you won’t empathize Now I’m hoping this phone Distracts me for long enough To make my mind right But with every passing minute And photo post My anxiety writes the Melatonin Blues Melatonin Blues Stripes cast through blinds My ceiling defined Thoughts removed from Memories on the screen You keep dragging me down BRIDGE Melatonin I sit wide awake again Melatonin Will I find resolution Melatonin I can’t clear my head you win

DMs 03:36
lyrics

I don't talk to my friends anymore I only see them in my DMs When did I last talk to you Cutting mic, computer pixels hardly in view Did it mean a lot to repeat, repeat, repeat yourself Alone in your room living somewhere else As for me, words fell resigned Echo through your room and distort through mine I hate having to repeat, repeat, repeat myself Log off with nothing really felt I don't talk to my friends anymore I only see them in my DMs If I send you something funny does it read as desperate Interrupt your life to remind and visit I’m stuck having to refresh, refresh, refresh my feed Bland text that I’ve already seen You liking that photo made me feel high Takes me up above my chair, Keeps me up at night Send it over months and repeat, repeat, repeat all year Almost exactly like I have you here I don't talk to my friends anymore I only see them in my DMs CHORUS As we grow older, nothing stays the same Trying hard to connect however we can Each time we relive and we play the game I remember why we were friends in the first place BRIDGE All my friends now have their own lives There’s no one to blame When we’re together from months apart It's as if nothing’s changed CHORUS

Vibe 03:07
lyrics

Sparks flew when I saw you Play it cool before I go in Fingers dancing ballet to Keep the conversation going I’m like Hey… Hi… Hey… Hello… Now around this busy room That I’m in and you’re in and they’re in, I’ve no excuse CHORUS You're giving off a vibe A little feeling Let it hit me square in my chest You're sending me a sign A little glance Let it twist me breath leaves possessed I don’t know where the truth lies But if I keep my eyes open I might see a light And finally remind what keeps me out tonight I swear you’re giving off a vibe Hold up. Are we not clicking? Rewrite between the lines and pages Every single word you clicked in Run it back, through my messages Now I’m holed up in the corner Nursing whiskey, diluted water Can’t recall if I had it Straight… Straight… oh shit... CHORUS BRIDGE Decypher every line Interpret through the vine Go through the conversations Mark your expressions Did I ever even cross your mind I was never even on your mind CHORUS

Around 03:23
lyrics

Only attainable in pictures Or in words between the page A feeling of belonging doesn’t stick around Never take minutes to capture Or appreciate the times A genuine connection doesn’t stick around CHORUS If I If I stay or go Always end up feeling alone Will I Will I ever know What makes this place feel like home It won't It won't stay If I If I go Gravitate to what’s familiar Narrative from what you know Take the good in with the bad It all stays around Change the signs, change the view The feeling rings the same What haunted you in Nashville All stays around BRIDGE Why can’t I know when it’s right Keep letting discontent drive I wish could say I’ve grown But it’s all I know

Sway 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I feel compelled, the tide pulls me further away Below the swell in limbo, lost to curling waves If I lay sleeping, relax, will it be over Maybe this feeling will pass leaving me sober Until then I’ll stay here Sleep with the sea Caressed by the currents Rest in the reef CHORUS Sway with the flora Watched her boat leave without me Left barely treading water I could catch a passing ship But I would rather stay here Sway with the flora What sent me down to depth, I truly do not know I blinked once, drown my breath, felt my head sink below Silhouette blurs, as I fall into the shallows I would prefer rest, because I’m not sure I know myself I’ll just stay here Sleep with the sea Caressed by the currents Make a bed in this reef CHORUS BRIDGE The life raft couldn’t reach her The distance grows with crashing litres It’s better to just sway The water pulls me deeper The waves melody sounds sweeter It’s better to just sway CHORUS
