feel it in my bones
when you’re next to me
static energy
connectivity
we’re almost here, almost clear
we’re electric
were almost new, almost true
we’re electric
feel it in your touch
like a lightning strike
particles of love
tryna make it right
we’re almost here, almost clear
we’re electric
were almost new, almost true
we’re electric
every time i leave
i feel your gravity
every time i leap
i feel you close to me
every time i, every time i, every time i listen
every time i, every time i, every time i look

BOXES

throw it out the window
put it out in the rain
cause i was always in your corner
you were always leavin’ me behind
i can only give you what i have
i can only give you me
we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause, when you're mine,
ain't no boxes
can we meet in the middle?
let it come to pass
cause i just wanna give you water
you been sippin' on that alcohol
i can only be the way i am
only be the way i am
we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause, when you're mine,
ain't no boxes
if we leave in a little
won't know the bitter taste
cause i've been here in your apartment
you know i'm the one to keep you warm
but i can only be the one for now
i can only be here now
we don't need no boxes, baby
we don't need no one to tell the time
we don't need no boxes, baby
cause, when you're mine,
ain't no boxes
while we're livin' gotta give it
never know unless we show it
gotta feel it, gonna heal it
on our knees where we don't need no boxes

ONLY 17

heaven's eyes came alive
when we were honest
every time more in love
you know we can see
when you're lonely with me
when i'm lonely with you
when we're together
we were only 17 that night
we were only 17 so won’t you be mine
we were glowin’ under streetlights,
got the beat right, now we’re comin’ home
cause we were only 17
livin' life on the line
we're findin' freedom
when you give me the truth
you know we can be
when you're only with me
when i'm only with you
when we're together
we were only 17 that night
we were only 17 so won’t you be mine
we were glowin’ under streetlights,
got the beat right, now we’re comin’ home
cause we were only 17
we’re not much older but we’ve come this far
over, and over
i want you here when we’re under the stars
just take my hand
we were only 17 that night
we were only 17 so won’t you be mine
we were glowin’ under streetlights,
got the beat right, now we’re comin’ home
cause we were only 17

WILD LOVE

lived out of a van in LA
you were sitting on the porch step i was laying down
we don’t need no one to tell us why to write another song
cause there’s too little time, too little time for you & me
when we started down this winding road
you said can’t stop my thoughts from runnin’ wild, love
holding you is better in ecstasy
cause we’re wild, love
lay down all our plans & get out
find a kind of heaven we’ve always been lookin’ for
we don’t need no one to keep us down cause life’s a kind of melody
and there’s too little time, too little time for you & me
when we started down this winding road
you said can’t stop my thoughts from runnin’ wild, love
holding you is better in ecstasy
cause we’re wild, love
every morning looks a little different
cause we see a new sunrise
every time i show you more of me
i see the that glimmer in your eyes
when we started down this winding road
you said can’t stop my thoughts from runnin’ wild, love
holding you is better in ecstasy
cause we’re wild, love
next time that we hit the road let’s drive
every night you taste a little sweeter

watchin' ya tik tok
layin' low
we had too much time,
too much time
with a face like yours
i don't want your money
i don't want your clothes
i won't take your body
i just want you
too hot to handle
on our own
you were on my mind,
on my mind
with a face like yours
i don't want your money
i don't want your clothes
i won't take your body
i just want you
every time you call i'm comin' over to the phone
just wanna let you know
i'm lonely, been lonely
love you all night long or you can just enjoy the show
just wanna let you know
i'm lonely, been lonely
i don't want your money
i don't want your clothes
i won't take your body
i just want you

STARS
02:40

|
hold tight,
cause every time we fall we find a friend
be bright,
cause every time we call the chorus we find our way
and every time we say goodbye
i wonder where you'll be
cause we are stars without any warning
it is written
we are stars that rise in the morning
it is written
hold tight,
cause every time i see you runnin' i cry
don't fight,
cause every time we learn we're on the road
and every time we say goodbye
i wonder where you'll be
cause we are stars without any warning
it is written
we are stars that rise in the morning
it is written
hold tight,
cause every time we fall we find a friend

HEART OUT
03:01
|

|
from the first time we met
i would cross the county line
to see you running wild, and warm and free
you're always in my heart
always at my doorstep
and we'll never be apart
if you'll just be my melody
every time you wanna stay
every time you wanna play
my heart out, my heart out
every time you let me go
every time you let me cry
my heart out, my heart out
never wanted to know you
so i could take it all away
i'll never let you feel like that
you're always in my heart
always at my doorstep
and we'll never be apart
if you'll just be my melody
every time you wanna stay
every time you wanna play
my heart out, my heart out
every time you let me go
every time you let me cry
my heart out, my heart out
from the first time we met
i would cross the county line
to see you running wild, and warm and free
