Compliments and messages and bicycles and staying friends Tear streaks and mirror pics and melodies that make me, sick These are the characters in this depiction of a world Where guys and girls are Shakespeare if he had written modern words Party’s over for the lovebirds Nothing gold can stay Think of every little bummer Every night and day What does it take to make you fall in love? Uh huh Party’s over for the lovebirds Nothing gold can stay Think of every little bummer Every night and day What does it take to make you fall in love?

I should be glad but still I find my reasons to be sad I should feel better maybe best case I had never met her late bloom, without a doubt theres a chance I’m thinking too much but it seems you been a bit hush late bloom, the sun is out but i feel a cold so freezing and my heart is ever beating I should be glad but still I find my reasons to be sad I should feel better maybe best case I had never met her so soon, my eyes are set and I’m seeing nothin but you I assume you’re seeing me too so soon, we’re getting there but I’m afraid of jumping the gun but tell me am I the only one I should be glad but still I find my reasons to be sad I should feel better maybe best case I had never met her everything was better than shirleys I was happier than ever before I found me a compatible girly who hasn’t got one foot out the door this timings even better than comedy I got myself a new notification Its her she said I found a new guy to see Oh. well hows that for communication, huh?

what the fuck am I going through right now is it love it it lows I’m deader inside who the fuck decided I needed this tonight was it me was it you Kiyoshi the fool and i’m sad~ not gonna lie and it’s sad~ that I’m not over you I’ll be damned if ya ask me to run to you and if I’m being honest about how I feel man I’m fucked I’m back to no wake up texts say no more oh you’re done? I thought you’d respond I thought to myself “and doesn’t it suck you thought this was what’s up next for you you were wrong now you’re raw writing a song” I may not have much~ but I felt like I did and the sad part is~ that I’d try it again, ad nauseam

Am I Wrong? 03:17
am I wrong to say that you and I were on to something am I wrong when I say we both had a crush every time I’d got to see you I would always wonder when am I gonna get to see you for longer wonder wonder wonder I miss you I should have been quicker shhhh Maybe I took you for granted shhhh I don’t know what to do I’ve been laying on the floor and I keep playing silly chords I don’t know what to do every time I think of something babe I just think I’d enjoy it more with you that night I couldn’t say it but I want nothing more than that perfect dance am I wrong to say that you and I were on to something am I wrong when I say we both had a crush every time I’d got to see you I would always wonder when am I gonna get to see you for longer

expectation hangover has got me even lower because our feelings were mutual theres no remedy for whats been eating at me I guess I just had been too ready I see why they medicate so much just to blur the past in their heads I get why they dedicate their time just to learn so they can forget, well expectation hangover has got me even lower I said, could this be more perfect I still can’t ignore what you had told me before cause I was ready for something more you gave me a pedestal where I stood but you took out the ground underneath its plain astronomical the way that you ache when things don’t go how you think expectation hangover has got me even lower because I thought I meant more to you but expectation hangover has got me even lower because I wanted to love you I’m down to be friends but I’ll admit on my end that I would probably wind up distant so many scenarios that used to be possible but turned into dreams so tell me if I’m a joke for wanting see a world where they could be real

Rosy Red 03:20
Right at the wrong time I fell off of the sycamore tree I caught a glimpse right before it snapped of us doing everything fall colors autumn leaves the red rose simulates a leash without a tint maybe I can see the right hue that I really mean it's so cruel to lie to myself when I don’t realize hypnotized visualized by a rosy tint around my eyes rosy red cloudy blue pink and white could paint this picture too toxic gloom scream boo hoo lovesick hearts can never tell the truth tell me why we all love wasting time bruised and burned never mind the hurt who knew I’d have to make a move you got my hopes up oh so soon I guess I needed to respond I bet my heart on all these silly love songs

Lovebud 03:19
if I can take a line from a love song and tell you you’ve been on my mind nearly all the time I’m really hurt by what you had told me the last time but now I know that I wanted a chance so bad oh boy what luck that another just arose from the dead and suddenly the record’s stuck and now I’ve got my heart in my head when I say that we were on to something I’m telling you lets give it a shot I promise it’s not one you’d regret and we’d never have to be what we’re not you probably see by now that all of these songs essentially propose the same thing I want to take the blooming feelings we had and turn em into something pretty, beautiful, and forgot to mention gorgeous can we talk about that and your taste in music, movies, and desire to laugh I wanna see you more and all your favorite things so won’t you tell me that you’ll try me ‘cause I know how great this could be

about

The songs on this album are about an impression that was left on me by someone. Not gonna name them because I'd rather make experiences into art than make drama passive-aggressively, ya know? I'm just trying to share my secrets through misleading tones instead of gossip.
Thanks for listening!
