1.
Much Better 02:30
Every fibre of my existence tells me I would be foolish if I were to miss this one My motor mouth is going one mile a minute, who’s the cynic here? I’m not finished here Who were you to tell me what I’d lose? You’re still my very best friend Salt to the wound, I never knew what I’d ruin, I’ll never be able to listen to ‘maps’ again If you cared for me You’d learn to be happy on your own Never, could I ever, have asked for it much better.
2.
Boys will be boys, the fairer sex they need their buoyancy, The kids will graze their knees don’t let it be I’m quite frankly flattered that you would ask this of me You take my breath away though it’s mine to breathe I hate the aftermath, the aftermath is the hardest part Stand and deliver, all my wants and needs How on earth did I ever get to this place? Never in my life have I heard such a lie ‘All the best things in life are free’ It’s not that I am not a nice person, but my reaction may be a little uncertain.
3.
Sometimes I get scared that you don’t know how much I know you care You’ll get it all reciprocated, you shouldn't hold your breath Head up, spine straight, stand tall You’re the best you have no downfalls The standard’s set, I will try follow on You should know you've set an example I’ll probably bite my nails ‘til the day I die If that’s my only flaw I think I’ll get by.
4.
There’s a demon in the pit of your lung It’s where he resides, where he hides from the sun You know it gets boring, when people just aren't talking You had the world in the palm of your hands, You had it all, but with no fallout plans You know I’m too lazy to hold a grudge I hope you are too I feel it on my chest, so I guess I’ll just stay inside instead, yeah, that would be best I’ll keep both feet placed firmly on, the side of the fence Until it’s crushed by the weight of my indecisiveness.
5.
Buffer 02:16
You want little to no contact, I know But this is me trying to keep my cool Let my memory buffer, for now we’ll take it slow If only I had time to prepare, you know I’d be devastating But you tell me these things on the spot, and now I’m left devastated Take it slow.
6.
Holland 02:53
I saved up all my money to take you to Holland I’ll drop coin for the boys instead It’s not even funny how little I resent you But nothing sounds worse than ‘let’s stay friends’ A great boost to my ego, you know it was flying Now it’s on the floor all bent Props to your home town Ain’t it done a great job in crafting The perfect individual? I’m telling I’m not asking Summer will come again I’ll still hate my job but you’ll hate your friends Summer will come again.
