Money

I am getting tired of your complications
Looking for a kind of compensation
If I’m due it, I should get what I want
But I’m stuck receiving nothing at all
I’m guessing the funny thing about history
You’d rather pull me back than let me leave
So, honey!
You know it’s not every day about money
Not many times do I concede
For something that’s not good for me
So when you gonna run me?
I know you’re the problem and I’m tired of waiting
Thought I’d let you know I’m taking on donations
I take credit, debit, cash and online
Just in case you ever do feel inclined
And if it’s all too high a fine to pay then boo
Eh please don’t waste my time when rent is due
Now, honey!
You know it’s not every day about money
Not many times do I concede
For something that’s not good for me
So when you gonna run me?
Ooooh, honey!
You know it’s not every day about money
Not many times do I concede
For something that’s not good for me
So are gonna run me?
(Scatting)
I take credit, debit, cash and online
(I wanna know what love is)
Just in case you ever do feel inclined
(Scatting)
I take credit, debit, cash and online
(Hmm, just in case you ever do feel inclined)
Mwah!

Commandments

Love in itself is a ritual
That I won’t assume will wane Some people live for the aching Emotions that I can’t explain
Some choose to wait for the right time Bound by a buoyant view
Standing in strong opposition
As soon as I felt it I knew
The little words you say they help me But really I, I should have known When I’m left to my devices
In your arms where I belong
By your side
I’ll fight for romance
But I’m at war
With my commandments
In time you will find
That I will confess
But I’m at war
With my commandments
One of these days it will hit me Space is powerful thing
But to no avail, establish a need And slowly I start to concede, lord
If I were to fall to devotion
I’ll fall cuz it’s what I need Searching for something to believe
There are dangerous scenes that pull me down and fill my head
It’s the push and pull that I reconcile What would life be like if I had left it all unsaid?
I wanna find peace of mind
By your side
I’ll fight for romance
But I’m at war
With my commandments
In time you will find
That I will confess
But I’m at war
With my commandments
Time, Romance, War, Commandments
By your side
I’ll fight for romance
But I’m at war
With my commandments
In time you will find
That I will confess
But I’m at war
With my commandments

Reason (Clean)

Don’t you get tired
Of living life in denial
I should’ve considered
Getting caught in your lies
I followed you home
You were leading them on
It was justified - I
I did it all for a reason
Why won’t you listen to me?
I know why I crossed a line
You had me out of my mind
When it was more than a feeling
Would you have preferred
I sat on my hands and played dumb?
Imagine me closing my eyes staying quiet
Cuz I can’t picture that hun
I set the plan to go
Cuz I felt this way before
It’s in the little lies
See it through my eyes
I did it all for a reason
Why won't you listen to me
I know I crossed a line
You had me out of my mind
When it was more than a feeling
I found your keys and I crashed your car
Threw your stuff off the second floor
So let’s call this a reckoning
Lost the battle but won the war
You’ll ignore all the evidence
Led me on, it was self defence
All long, you pushed me close the edge
I did it all for a reason
Why won't you listen to me
I know why I crossed a line
You had me out of my mind
To me it all had a meaning
I did it all for a reason

I know what they’re thinking
When I walk through that door
Scope the competition
Though they won’t really know me at all
I know what they’re thinking
When my fear tries to take control
It’s not easy to master with so many competing thoughts all in my head
Give an inch and get a mile
What are they thinking of me now
So I keep running
Too late I’ve turned around
Another victim of a crowd
So I keep running
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better
So I keep running
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
But I keep running
Such a strange thing
Anxiety builds you can’t contain it
You say it’s cool, just stay, no don’t go
Maybe this time no one will follow
Gotta be better than last time
Better go hide cuz in the meanwhile
If it happens again, I won’t pretend
It’s not easy to master with so many competing thoughts all in my head
Give an inch and get a mile
What are they thinking of me now
So I keep running
Too late I’ve turned around
Another victim of a crowd
So I keep running
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better
So I keep running
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
But I keep running
Give an inch and get a mile
What are they thinking of me now
So I keep running
Too late I’ve turned around
Another victim of a crowd
So I keep running
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better
So I keep running
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
But I keep
I know what they’re thinking
I know what they’re thinking
But I keep running
Give an inch and get a mile
What are they thinking of me now
So I keep running
Too late I’ve turned around
Another victim of a crowd
So I keep running
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better
So I keep running
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
But I keep running
Give an inch then get a mile
What are they thinking of me now
So I keep running
Too late I’ve turned around
Another victim of a crowd
So I keep running
You should’ve known better
You should’ve known better
So I keep running
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
But I keep running
I know what they’re thinking.
