- Back on love
I am so confused
I don't know what's up or down
Should I leave or stick around?
Am I lost or am I found?
He's throwin' wisdom like a poet
Throwin' tantrums like a child
But when he holds my hand
- Be good
Its unclear now what we intend
We're alone in our own world
And you don't want to be my boyfriend
And I don't want to be your girl
And that, that's a relief
We'll drink up our grief
And pine for summer
And we'll buy a beer to shotgun
- Berkeley's Breathing
You know that I haven't gone to bed yet
Just call me up, I'm a sure bet
Berkeley's been breathing since first time we met
I'm wide awake, I'm a sure bet
Backseats and salt stings, the air crisp and breezy
Card key hotel room, boy, I'm just that easy
Oh, you know that I haven't gone to bed yet
- Birtday Cake
I wanna be a famous singer
Would you be my band
Travel the world together
You can hold my hand
Crossin' paths from the airplane
To the terminal gate
Hope we're meant for each other
Hope that love is our fate
- Birthday Cake
I want to be a famous singer, would you be my band
Travel the world together, you can hold my hand
Crossing cracks from the airplane to the terminal gate
Hope we're meant for each other, hope that love is our fate
Life feels like a whirlwind, been watching paint dry
Can't steady the current no matter how hard I try
We could all use an anchor, you're not afraid of the sea
Let's go diving together, put your hooks in me
- Blue Toothbrush
Do you have my blue toothbrush?
I left it near the bathroom sink
It's been a couple months, I think
You tossed it, if I had to guess
I hope it never caused you stress
I know how you don't like a mess
- Crash and Burn
I've got lots of questions but you've got me
And we've got lots of reasons to never ever leave
Oh, come and visit me where the trees grow tall
I want you to be kissing me when we both fall
So, we're gonna crash and burn
We're gonna live and learn this weekend
And I was the girl of your dreams
- Expired
I don't want you anymore
Summer's gone, and now I'm sure
The box behind my bed I've saved
I took out with the trash today
Oh, the truth is: I've met someone new
The truth is: you probably have, too
The truth is: I can't stand your face
- Expired Lover
I don't want you anymore
Summer's gone, and now I'm sure
The box behind my bed I've saved
I took out with the trash today
Oh, the truth is: I've met someone new
The truth is: you probably have, too
The truth is: I can't stand your face
- Fifteen Minutes
Fifteen minutes
I don't wanna start a band
I wanna start a family
I don't want a follow back
I want a follow through.
And i don't really know where I put those fifteen minutes I found
But it doesn't really matter as long as you're around.
- Julie
Let go of Julie, and take my hand.
Let go, it's time to be my man.
Let go of Julie, and kiss my face.
She's standing, she is standing in my place.
And I'm not normally the jealous, jealous type,
But I imagined it'd be you and me tonight.
And I bet Julie's really smart, oh, you keep saying she's so cool,
- Just Pretend
Humid night, I wake at 3, all wired
What's a girl to do if she's not tired?
Feeling ache, hunger low in my tummy
Mouth full of freckles sure sounds a-yummy
Getting hot and I'm feeling a little bit
What I would give for your salty inviting scent
I admit I am scared to be on my own
Though parents bragged I’m a kid who plays good alone
- Married
Nobody likes us at this party
No body likes us on this couch
We can't stop eating the candy
We can stop making out
The girl in the corner knows the story about the first night we met
She keeps asking "Why aren't you together yet?"
And I've got my hands in your heart, you've got your hands in my hair
- Masterpiece
I walked by colorful sidewalk.
Children with buckets of pastel chalk.
And I thought of you, my love.
I thought of you.
So I walked until the sun went down.
I thought that no one else was around.
Until I saw you, my love.
Until I saw you.
- Mess
I got bruises on my body
Scratches on my face
Cookie crumbs, empty bottles all over the place
And my bathroom mirror seemed to lose its shine
When you leave you always seem to leave a little mess behind
When you leave you always leave a little mess
Oh I am cleaning out my cupboards
- Michael
I never could believe in God
But always willing to give it a shot
If there is such a thing as magic human souls
Well, then mine looks a lot like Michael
Yes, my soul looks a lot like Michael
Manhattan baby, drop-out, drug abuse
Naively feel I've walked around in his shoes
- Morning Sex Is For Lovers
Morning sex is for lovers
Playing games in the covers
Oh they let, la-light shine in
Kissing the wrinkles and scars on their skin
It’s about 8 am now
Seems we just put our heads down
All the sparkles and wine of last night
- Never Leave La
Feels like I'm floating
With the world down below
Instead of walking on the sidewalk
I'm going with the flow
Instead of meddling hard lines
There is heaven and earth
And, baby, I've still got bruises
But they don't seem to hurt

- Rockstar
I'm gonna marry a rockstar
Gonna move downtown
Loft a bed above his practice space, guitars hangin' all around
He'll wake up while I'm whisperin' "Babe, It's almost noon."
But we could kiss all day, in this tiny room
We like walkin', wearin' black matching Converse shoes.
Instead of diamond rings we get new tattoos
Instead of walkin' down the isle it's a back yard gig
- This Is War
Oh I know, I know, I know
All the songs you write are about me
But you changed the names so I can’t stake my claim
You’re so greedy
And I know, I know, I know
That you think you’re a much better writer
And that might be true
But what I’ve got on you
- Weapons
I'm only human, I need a god
To show me what we want when we fought
From morning to dusk
Our tears causing rust on all of our weapons
And he's just a man but deep in his eyes
I see all this love without the lies
From now till forever
We'd be so much better without the weapons
