(ft. Catherine Ireton)

There is no way I’m looking for a boyfriend
There is no way I’m looking for a scene
I need to save some dough
I’m a working girl you know
I’ll fend attention off
I keep to myself

I love my room, I’m getting used to sleeping
Some nights I really like to lie awake
I hear the midnight birds,
The message in their words,
The dawn will touch me in a way
A boy could never touch
Their promise never meant so much to me

You have been warned, I’m born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl,
She needs all the help she can get

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I’ll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I’ll play his messages, analyze his intonation
Please stop me there, I’m even boring myself.

I think of him when I’m doing the dishes (doing the dishes, doing the dishes)
I think of him while looking in the sink (in the sink, in the sink)
This ain’t no play on words
My love for him is absurd
If he gave me a sign, I’d think about it for a week
I’d build it up and then I’d turn him down.

You have been warned, I’m born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl,
She needs all the help she can get

Tonight,
A bird will fly
And collide
With the windows of this apartment

(It’s all yours)
We’ll stay home
Agoraphobe
I never want to go out there
I never want to go
Stay home (Stay home)
Agoraphobe
I never want to go out there
I never want to go
Stay home (We’ll stay home)
Agoraphobe
I never want to go out there
I never want to go
Stay home (We’ll stay home)
Agoraphobe
I never want to go out there
I never want to go
Stay home (We’ll stay home)
Agoraphobe
I never want to go out there
I never want to go
Stay home (We’ll stay home)
I never want to go out there

We’ll stay home (stay home) [repeated several times, layered over other lines]
Agoraphobe [repeated several times, layered over other lines]
Never want to go out there [repeated several times, layered over other lines]

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight (to fade)

(I vastly prefer the Matt Good/Ryan Dahle version to the version released by Ryan alone. Just an overall better sound/emotion/etc. Too bad it’s no longer available for purchase.)

rather be

ft. Jess Glynne

We’re a thousand miles from comfort,
We have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me,
There’s no place I rather be.
I would wait forever,
Exulted in the scene
As long as I am with you,
My heart continues to beat

With every step we take,
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same,
Gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance, I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be, oh oh

We staked out on a mission
To find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
So nothing’s incomplete
It’s easy being with you,
Sacred simplicity
As long as we’re together,
There’s no place I’d rather be

With every step we take,
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same,
Gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance, I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be

When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
Be, oh
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If you gave me a chance, I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
No, no, no, no place I rather be
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
