    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
