  1. Goodnight and Goodbye feat. Norman Kim

  Tonight he’ll keep you at the doorstep
  Tonight he’s gonna catch you breathless
  I wish he won’t say your name again
  I know I’ll be there till the end
  
  

  All I need from you is tell him that it’s goodnight
  All I need from you is tell him that it’s goodbye
  
  

  Give me something to obsess over
  I don’t wanna be just another lover
  Baby, you got it all but you just gotta end this
  You don’t wanna be another girl on his checklist
  
  

  Right now I know that you’re mistaken
  You’ll never be the girl who wants to try again
  The trees were glowing red, your hand was in my own
  You know it was a dream but I want you to come home

• 2. Sunrise

  First song I ever wrote

  When I see your eyes I realize I just can’t refuse you
  I wanted to but I couldn’t, I couldn’t leave you
  Wake up in the dead of night, thinking of all my lies
  You know I won’t, won’t deny your smile’s like the sunrise
  
  That day in the middle of, middle of November
  I see it clearly in my mind, I still remember
  You were standing there across the room, that’s when I knew I couldn’t stop thinking about, thinking about you
  
  Leaves are falling, they’re all the same
  Fall is calling, calling my name
  Leaves are falling, and I’m to blame
  Fall is calling, calling my name
  
  I still don’t understand how you caught my attention
  The sky was blue the air was cold, far from perfection
  I was sitting at the window and my eyes were staring at the floor, I waited and I waited till I couldn’t stand it anymore

  3. Meet Me in Montauk

  I am waving at the water
  I am staring at the shadow
  Perfectly poised at the brink of honesty
  Are you calling me?
  
  

  A declaration in permanent ink
  Even I could see through your veil
  Green with envy, you won’t be empty
  No, you won’t be empty
  
  Settle the dust in your pocket
  Keep the city inside your locket
  Dreams will deliver you safely into the confines of April

  
  When you find me at the corner of 5th and desperation
  Just know that I won’t be waiting on your train at 4

  Killing the time today? It’s alright.
  You gotta catch your flight today.
  You can count all the stars, but tonight don’t count on me
  Mind the gap just to save yourself from falling from me

  4. Add Me to Your A.D.D.

  (this is kind of a conversation between 2 people)
  

  She said “Limos and virgins are your specialty.
  Forget our very own technicalities.
  I don’t know when this lie will end.
  I’m sick and tired of this trend.”

  “Stereotypes are my reality,
  I can’t break the habit,
  It’s such a tragedy (Tragedy, tragedy).
  Don’t be mad at me over irrationalities.”

  “Open the window and breathe in the jealousy.”
  “Today’s promise I make no guarantee. Wishing won’t get you
  whatever you want to see from me.
  I didn’t know when to stop all the purgery…”
  “Don’t you want to leave your own legacy? (Legacy, Legacy) ”
  “Don’t be mad at me, I saw you sitting from under the cork tree”

  “And I lost my senses
  I couldn’t go back to you
  I swear the time is blue”

  “I know you want to get that surgery,
  the one that rids you of all your memories
  Soon you’ll blossom your own dreams,
  I wouldn’t know.”
  “You’re running to a dead end,
  and I can’t follow you there.
  The storm has passed and the rain is gone
  Now don’t despair.”

  Time reads blue now
  Time reads blue

  5. Dammit Jim I’m a Doctor, Not a Physicist

  I left my whole life behind
  Just yell it to the clouds cuz I think I’m going blind
  Stop at 5th street, you never miss a beat
  Would it kill you to say this love is bittersweet?
  
  Hey baby, are you crazy?
  From the moment you wake up, you don’t need no makeup.
  So rub that eyeliner off.
  
  I said “Can I lie by your side just an hour more? That’s all I ask for.”
  The sky at night is all I adore
  Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
  Time is flying by
  Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
  I won’t stop this lie
  

  I left my blue bike two worlds away
  I remember the cool breeze on my face
  My ears are ringing from all this noise
  Sitting here on campus in Illinois
  
  Hey baby, are you crazy?
  Look into your eyes, let’s fly away like kites
  Oh no

  6. “Ella’s Lullaby”

  I found lipstick on the payphone
  The kind you used to wear in the winter’s lonely air
  And I know, ladder after ladder
  I’ll always be there for times we have to share

  You’re love is contagious
  And I was curious to see if I would fall
  Into that same old trap
  The paper tomorrow will read today’s goodbyes
  To my surprise, she’s small but she’s so sure
  They say its called “amour”
  So cut your wristwatch, forget the time
  Run into my arms and we’ll intertwine

  And I’ll be the only one who saves me
  Watch those earrings dangling
  From that pretty face

  And you’ll be swept into the high sea
  Tidal waves so gently
  Caressed by my love

  And I am fenced in
  The whole world against me
  And I’m convicted of stealing your love
  So throw me away
  With the other bards
  And I’ll just escape with my guitar

  Could you listen to this song
  the way you listen to cars
  that pass in the night
  this is your anthem tonight

  So rest your head
  I could be your Red

  7. “Charm” feat. Norman Kim

  Go ahead now, racing in the night
  Fist bump, tail whipped I know I’m alive
  Bring in all the heat, you just can’t compete
  You can try all you want but the girl across the street
  Has still got you down, you’re smiling with a frown
  Head up to the bar, you got drinks all around
  Wipe away your tears, you’re wasting all your years
  Fix up, look sharp, can’t see in the dark
  
  He’s got charm, but I don’t regret…
  
  …diving in the depths of rational thought
  God made us ticking clocks
  I know you hesitate to say
  but you got to stop right now

  Sighing won’t get you away
  They see your shades of gray
  The toxic breath upon your neck
  knows he’s got the charm

  I told the doctor “Just call out the time”
  No way no one could save her own life
  She lost it to the world, she’s oh so insecure
  Couldn’t really handle what was on your plate
  The crying in the night only resonates
  Through your bedroom walls, into the halls of temptation

  Gimme gimme something, something to obsess over
  I don’t want to be just another lover
