Ugly

Now that you're with me
do you think my insides are ugly
I make excuses
just to stop the bleeding
just to feel pretty
Even when Im crying and I cant get to sleep
will you still want to hold me
You made a hot chocolate
me a cup of tea
sat on the couch
and watched free to air TV
I told my mum
and waited for her to ask me
do you think he's the guy
that you need him to be
-surprise feminist appearance-
We're all a little blind
to our own dark sides
will I be old and still learning to shake this
Now that you're with me
do you think my insides are ugly
I make excuses
just to stop the bleeding
just to feel pretty
just to feel
just to feel

Ask Me To Leave

How can you say to me,
you don't feel any chemistry,
well, I'm getting tired of always
putting the blame on me
There's a new energy
around these parts since you got free,
and I'm running circles in my head,
putting you in the firing line instead,
you come close,
just to ask me to leave
What's it all worth,
chasing this idea that my best friend birthed,
maybe it's just make believe,
but I swear I saw a bit of it through the gaps in your teeth,
you come close,
just to ask me to leave
Boy, I've been in your seat
but I'm turning off the taps
'cause I'm not thirsty
you come close,
just to ask me to leave

Cheekbone

I kissed you on the cheekbone,
and watched you make your bed,
and then said that I'd go home,
when I sensed your regret
But I don't want to leave you alone,
No, you, you're not ready, you're just singing songs
And I'm tempted just to leave work
to come hang out with you,
we can pat the dog or watch our friends,
sing mediocre tunes
and if that's what you want,
It's what I want too
'cause I don't want to leave you alone,
No, you, you're not ready, you're just singing songs
And that night you came and stayed at mine,
taught me that right now's not the right time,
and I wonder if there will ever be,
What did I do wrong in a past-life
to be left on the side,
maybe we're just not right
But I don't want to be left alone
No I'm just not ready,
I'm just singing songs

Hungry Heart (cover)

Ha a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart
I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

I'm Fine

I'm sick of talking about shit,
I don't believe anymore,
I'm not sad I'm just a little bored
Of hearing the stories in my head,
wasting time in other people's beds
Im getting good at pretending that I'm Fine
Doing this with my life
Dancing seems to fill the void just fine,
I get out of my bed just in time,
when I can't fight it I fight with wine,
why don't I like things when they're mine
Im getting good at pretending that I'm Fine
Doing this with my life,
Im getting good at pretending that I'm Fine
Doing this with my life
