LAST NIGHT
CHARLIE
you act so sweet, but taste of cinnamon.
hooked on the juice like you used to be with cigarettes.
we’re slowly burning out to an end.
there’s a spark and yet no substance left.
last night i’m over, we’re staying sober;
want to remember all the beauty from the night.
let’s stop pretending it’s not the ending.
fuck inhibition. let’s enjoy this one last time.
grip me tighter. walk the wire.
kiss me softer than you thought you did last night.
love me harder. touch me smarter.
want me more than you ever did before tonight, did before tonight.
let’s stay up all night so I can catch the 7:55 train.
won’t over stay my visit when i know i’m walking away.
I know you’re leaving town for a little while;
let’s just end it here, but make it worthwhile.
last night you’ll ever see me, I’m here to make a memory;
I want to remember all the beauty from our time.
quit pretending this never was the ending.
fuck inhibition, come enjoy this one last time.
grip me tighter. walk the wire.
kiss me softer than you thought you did last night.
love me harder. touch me smarter.
want me more than you ever did before tonight.
you like a shower, I hate the heat.
you thought that you could scorch off all my insecurities.
you like a mirror, I hate the view;
ain’t it a shame I don’t appreciate the things you do.
is it sad that I’m waiting for the ending tonight?
ya, tonight. tonight. ya, tonight.
grip me tighter. walk the wire.
kiss me softer than you thought you did last night.
love me harder. touch me smarter.
want me more than you ever did before tonight, did before tonight.
I straighten my hair.
I tuck here and there,
and I blatantly stare
when Charlie comes to town.
wear Jo Malone roses
and I hope that they notice.
I mute all the voices
when Charlie comes to town.
I run through my room
tidy what’s in view
then put on a tune
when Charlie’s in town.
knew something was missing.
now, I feel while I’m giving.
it’s more like I’m living
when Charlie’s in town.
I cry in my hands.
cancel all my plans
‘cause no one understands
when Charlie leaves town.
paint over my mirror.
can’t handle my dinner.
sleep in for the winter
when Charlie leaves town.
in time, yes I’ll stand.
I’ll breathe and expand
and laugh once again.
till Charlie comes to town.
TRYING SOMETHING
NEW
stared at the mirror for the day
practicing how to act and what to say.
I've tried twenty shades and they ain't quite right.
I just want to great Her perfectly tonight.
I can't do my mascara 'cause I'm shaking.
the rain might ruin it anyway.
do I seem brand new for hesitating when She takes my breath away.
She takes my breath away.
Her laugh gives me flushed cheeks.
Her dimples make me weak.
Her hips make my knees chatter.
Her lips make me lose speech.
I'm t-t-trying trying trying so hard today
so m-m-maybe by chance She'll look at me that way.
I've chosen the dress with the laced back.
finishing my last mint so I can chuck the pack.
cleaned the house incase I'm luck.
got saucers on standby read for some tea.
I can't do my laces 'cause I'm shaking,
so I'm wearing birk's instead.
do I look alright? Or like I'm faking?
Oh she's all up in my head.
She's all that's in my head.
Her laugh gives me flushed cheeks.
Her dimples make me weak.
Her hips make my knees chatter.
Her lips make me lose speech.
I'm t-t-trying trying trying so hard today
so m-m-maybe by chance She'll look at me that way.
it's been a couple years since I've felt a spark.
she took me and ignited these veins inside my heart.
I'm blushing and I'm burning.
Oh, can't control this heat!
I don't want to lose this feeling.
how can I keep her intrigued?
how can I keep her?
'cause Her laugh gives me flushed cheeks.
Her dimples make me weak.
Her hips make my knees chatter.
Her lips make me lose speech.
Her voice makes my tongue tingle.
Her scent soothes my heart beat.
Her moves make my mind wander.
Her touch makes our eyes meet.
I'm t-t-trying trying trying so hard.
I know it's been awhile since we've taken down our guard.
I'm d-d-dying dying dying to see this through.
Yes, it feels so right
and I hope she feels it too.
It feel so right,
and I hope she feels it too.
bits and bobs i'm working on
