Intro

Yeah, no like, I just played it for my friends, and they were like,
“This is it, like, this is your best yet.”

All the Time

I know that I can be crazy
But I’ll give you a good time
I’ve been out of it lately
But don’t worry I’ll be alright
So come on over
Let’s get closer
I’m tired of being friends
You don’t notice
That I’m so broken
The night’s still far from an end
Can’t you see what we could be?
Together, we could fly
Baby, you and I
Won’t you just come home with me?
Why am I so shy?
I do this all the time
All the time
I know that I shouldn’t talk, no
‘Cause I’ll say something so dumb
You’re looking so beautiful though
And my hands are going numb
So come on over
Let’s get closer
I’m tired of being friends
You don’t notice
That I’m so broken
The night’s still far from an end
Can’t you see what we could be?
Together, we could fly
Baby, you and I
Won’t you just come home with me?
Why am I so shy?
I do this all the time
All the time
(All the time)
I know that I can be crazy
But I’ll give you a good time
Mmm
Can’t you see what we could be?
Together, we could fly
Baby, you and I
Won’t you just come home with me?
Why am I so shy?
I do this all the time
All the time
(All the time)

Pleasant Surprise
03:47
|
|||
|
I love how you walk with such confidence
How you laugh at your own jokes
I love how you’re so open
And how you look at me
I've never felt this way before
But I want it more
I want to see where things will go
This is all so new
It's nothing that I'm used to
We connect so well
And I don't know if you could tell
But I think this is real love
And I like the way it feels
And you came into my life
And it was such a pleasant surprise
I’m in love with your crazy schemes
How you tell me everything
I love that you don’t care
About anyone
I've never felt this way before
But I want it more
I want to see where things will go
This is all so new
It's nothing that I'm used to
We connect so well
And I don't know if you could tell
But I think this is real love
And I like the way it feels
And you came into my life
And it was such a pleasant surprise
And now I'm lost for words
‘Cause it's all brand new
You came to me
And changed my point of view
And now I think I've fallen in love
True love
Oh
This is all so new
It's nothing that I'm used to
We connect so well
And I don't know if you could tell
But I think this is real love
And I like the way it feels
And you came into my life
And it was such a pleasant surprise

Could You
04:49
|
|||
|
I’ve learned a lot about you
I think I really like you
And it’s wrong but being right’s overrated
We had a blast this summer
And I want no other
But you and me together here right now
And I'm sorry for staring
I couldn't help it
The way you looked
It was overwhelming
And I’m too shy to speak up
But I know if you give me
A chance I’ll try
You’re so beautiful
You caught my eye
And now I can’t stop thinking about you
Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?
Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?
‘Cause I really like you
Could you tell me how you feel?
Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?
Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?
‘Cause I want to spend every second
Talking with you
We’ve talked a lot the past few nights
But still I get this fright you might
Think that we’re only here as friends
We went out the other week
And it was almost certainty
That you and I had some sparks fly
And I'm sorry for staring
I couldn't help it
The way you looked
It was overwhelming
And I’m too shy to speak up
But I know if you give me
A chance I’ll try
You’re so beautiful
You caught my eye
And now I can’t stop thinking about you
Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?
Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?
‘Cause I really like you
Could you tell me how you feel?
Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?
Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?
‘Cause I want to spend every second
Talking with you
And you’re probably out somewhere with your friends going crazy
And I’m at home wishing you were here with me
And I know that I shouldn’t wait around
But it’s ok
Yeah
Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?
Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?
‘Cause I really like you
Could you tell me how you feel?
Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?
Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?
‘Cause I want to spend every second
Talking with you

The One
03:23
|
|||
|
I’m going through the motions
But you don’t seem to care
Starting to think it won’t work out
And I’m falling and sinking
While I’m overthinking
Every word you say
‘Cause I keep thinking I have a chance
I wish we weren’t such good friends
‘Cause the one for me wants someone else
But baby, don’t you know
That I won’t let you go?
Yeah the one for my causes me hell
But baby don’t you leave
Promise you’ll be with me
‘Cause you’re the one
I’ll tell you what I want
But I don’t think you care
Starting to question all my moves
And I want to know if you
Like where this is going
‘Cause I like it too
‘Cause I keep thinking I have a chance
I wish we weren’t such good friends
‘Cause the one for me wants someone else
But baby, don’t you know
That I won’t let you go?
Yeah the one for my causes me hell
But baby don’t you leave
Promise you’ll be with me
‘Cause you’re the one
In my dreams
I hear you call my name
(Every night)
In my mind
I know you won’t call again
(It’s alright)
‘Cause I’m
Just losing my damn mind
(I’m ok)
I miss you every single day
‘Cause the one for me wants someone else
But baby, don’t you know
That I won’t let you go?
Yeah the one for my causes me hell
But baby don’t you leave
Promise you’ll be with me
In my dreams
I hear you call my name
(Every night)
In my mind
I know you won’t call again
(It’s alright)
‘Cause I’m
Just losing my damn mind
(I’m ok)
I miss you every single day

It Sucks
03:43
|
|||
|
We met last year
It was so different
And I didn’t know what to expect
And we talked and got closer
Traded our secrets for some laughs
Then I caught feelings
I hate that it’s this way
I just want to be friends
But I can’t
And now it’s over obsessing with where you are
And who you’re with
And why I’m not there
And it sucks ‘cause there’s nothing I can do
It sucks ‘cause you’re my best friend
It sucks ‘cause you don’t feel the same way
And it sucks that I’m alone
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh
It’s been so long
And I can’t help it
But I want to know how to move on
‘Cause I know it won’t work out
And I need an escape
And I‘m so helpless
I hate that it’s this way
I just want to be friends
But I can’t
And now it’s over obsessing with where you are
And who you’re with
And why I’m not there
And it sucks ‘cause there’s nothing I can do
It sucks ‘cause you’re my best friend
It sucks ‘cause you don’t feel the same way
And it sucks that I’m alone
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (oh)
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (ooh-oh-oh)
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da (oh)
Da-da-da-da
And it sucks ‘cause there’s nothing I can do
It sucks ‘cause you’re my best friend
It sucks ‘cause you don’t feel the same way
And it sucks that I’m alone
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Oh

Love Triangle
04:20
|

|
Tell me what you see in him
‘Cause I can bet that I’ll do it better
Tell me all your hopes and dreams
I’ll get you there if you stay forever
I’m not obsessed
I just want you for myself
I’m not upset
I just know that you’re the one
I love you
And you love him
We’re all alone
No one wins
I’m tired of us going back and forth
I always have to hear his name
Come out your mouth
It’s all the same
It’s sad, I’m mad
I just feel so tangled
In our sick and twisted love triangle
Tell me how you don’t notice
That I just can’t stop thinking about you
Tell me who you want to be
I promise that I‘ll be there for you
And I’m not obsessed
I just want you for myself
I’m not upset
I just know that you’re the one
I love you
And you love him
We’re all alone
No one wins
I’m tired of us going back and forth
I always have to hear his name
Come out your mouth
It’s all the same
It’s sad, I’m mad
I just feel so tangled
In our sick and twisted love triangle
Get him out of the picture
I miss you
Come back to me
Don’t go with him
I thought I could move on
But I just can’t, no
No I just can’t
I love you
And you love him
We’re all alone
No one wins
I’m tired of us going back and forth
I always have to hear his name
Come out your mouth
It’s all the same
It’s sad, I’m mad
I just feel so tangled
In our sick and twisted love triangle

Three O'clock
03:23
|
|||
|
It’s three o’clock
And there’s still no sign of you showing up
It’s three o’clock
I’ve been waiting so long
It’s three o’clock
You left me here alone
It’s three o’clock
This time I’m giving up
I’ve been sitting here
It’s getting near
I need to go
I’ve been missing you
I’m such a fool
I guess there’s me to blame
And the clock is ticking
And I’m just missing
What used to be
And the world is spinning
And I’m getting dizzy
I don’t think you’re gonna show up
It’s three o’clock
And there’s still no sign of you showing up
It’s three o’clock
I’ve been waiting so long
It’s three o’clock
You left me here alone
It’s three o’clock
This time I’m giving up
2:45
You said that I
Should come
But you made me wait
My mistake
I thought you wouldn’t lie
And I’ve gotta go
But I don’t know
Maybe I should wait
You keep me up
This isn’t love
I’m tired of you leaving me in the dust
It’s three o’clock
And there’s still no sign of you showing up
It’s three o’clock
I’ve been waiting so long
It’s three o’clock
You left me here alone
It’s three o’clock
This time I’m giving up
3:29 you pull up, and say,
“I’m so sorry.”
Your lame excuse
Won’t fool me this time
And you ask,
“What did I do to hurt you?”
And I said
It was three o’clock
There was still no sign of you showing up
It was three o’clock
I’ve been waiting so long
It was three o’clock
You left me here alone
It was three o’clock
This time I’m giving up

Time of My Life
04:32
|
|||
|
I don’t want to do this
I’m just doing what you asked
And I don’t want to go through with this
But I just want to what you said
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
I really like you
But if you don’t feel the same, it’s ok
And I wish things were different
And right now you’d be in my arms
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
And it’s ok that I’ll never see your face again
And that you won’t remember
Who I am
And I’m alright with hiding my feelings
Because it’s what you want
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
Oh but I’m not

Goodbye
04:38
|
|||
|
You don’t want me
But I want you
And it’s been going on for a whole year now
I thought I could get over it
We’d end up as friends
But now I think it
Might be too late
And I don’t wanna do this
But I’m so tired of crying
And I’m so tired of hurting
And now I need to leave
So I’ve gotta say goodbye
It was such a wild ride
Maybe one day we could meet up again?
And I’m gonna miss you
I wish we didn’t fall through
But it’s too late
And I’m too far gone
So I’ll say goodbye
I don’t know for how long
You’re embarrassed
Don’t want me near
And I’m just stupid enough
Keep going back
Thought we’d have a happy ending
We’d be more than friends
But now I know there’s
No going back
And I don’t wanna do this
But I’m so tired of crying
And I’m so tired of hurting
And now I need to leave
So I’ve gotta say goodbye
It was such a wild ride
Maybe one day we could meet up again?
And I’m gonna miss you
I wish we didn’t fall through
But it’s too late
And I’m too far gone
So I’ll say goodbye
I don’t know for how long
I need to move on
I see where the line’s drawn
And now I understand
Love can’t be one way
That I was foolish to think I’d get
The time of day
So I’ve gotta say goodbye
It was such a wild ride
Maybe one day we could meet up again?
And I’m gonna miss you
I wish we didn’t fall through
But it’s too late
And I’m too far gone
So I’ll say goodbye
I don’t know for how long

Ocean
04:08
|
|||
|
I walked through so many storms
I barely made it out alive
I fought my fight
I took my shot
I just wanted to be at peace again
But I can’t control how you make me feel
No
Your strongest currents pull me in so far
That I’m drowning in you
Your ten foot waves crash over my head
Yeah
I can’t swim away
You’re everywhere
There’s no way I’ll make it out again
There’s no escaping the ocean
I ran up mountains
The avalanches in my way
But I got up
I made it
I couldn’t even look at you
But you smile and I come running back
Your strongest currents pull me in so far
That I’m drowning in you
Your ten foot waves crash over my head
Yeah
I can’t swim away
You’re everywhere
There’s no way I’ll make it out again
There’s no escaping the ocean
I’m losing my breath
You fill up my lungs
Take my heart and break it up
You hold on tight
I can’t escape
And I just need to accept
Your strongest currents pull me in so far
That I’m drowning in you
Your ten foot waves crash over my head
Yeah
I can’t swim away
You’re everywhere
There’s no way I’ll make it out again
There’s no escaping the ocean

Slowly
03:58
|
|||
|
I see that you’re into me
That’s something new
And I feel like there might be something here
With me and you
And you’re cute and you’re sweet
And you make me laugh
And that’s all great
But when I fall
I go insane
I’m too vulnerable right now
I might crack if I hit the ground
If I fall for you
I lose me
So can we go slowly?
So can we go slowly?
I’m feeling crazy now
That’s something new
And I feel like I might try and see
If you like me too
And you’re cute and you’re sweet
And you make me laugh
And that’s all great
But when I fall
I go insane
I’m too vulnerable right now
I might crack if I hit the ground
If I fall for you
I lose me
So can we go slowly?
So can we go slowly?
‘Cause I don’t wanna mess this up
I’m scared I’ll ruin what this was
I’ve already hurt so much
I’m trying not to fall in love
And I feel like there might be something here
With me and you
And you’re cute and you’re sweet
And you make me laugh
And that’s all great
But when I fall
That's not the same
I’m too vulnerable right now
I might crack if I hit the ground
If I fall for you
I lose me
So can we go slowly?
So can we go slowly?
So can we go slowly?
Until you’ve gained my trust
So can we go slowly?
Until it hurts too much

The End
03:38
|
|||
|
A rollercoaster
To say the least
I’ve had my ups and downs
All those weeks
Falling
And bawling
And crying
And dying
And I’m so proud of me
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and got the win
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and did something
‘Cause I can’t rely on anyone
And I’ve seen it all
And after all that’s said and done
What matters is I made it
I made it to the end
A crying shoulder
I didn’t have
But I have me
I’m not so mad
Reaching
And preaching
That it’ll make it out
And I’m so proud of me
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and got the win
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and did something
‘Cause I can’t rely on anyone
And I’ve seen it all
And after all that’s said and done
What matters is I made it
I made it to the end
I made it
I made it
No faking
No faking
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and got the win
Hey
Look at where I am
I made it to the end
I went and did something
‘Cause I can’t rely on anyone
And I’ve seen it all
And after all that’s said and done
What matters is I made it
I made it to the end

I Still Love Her
05:11
|
|||
|
You’re perfect in every way
But none of that matters to me
You tell me you love me
And I say it back with an empty heart
I don’t want to hurt you
But you need to know how I really feel
And you have our life planned out
But I'm just trying to find a way out
I still love her
Nothing can take it off my mind
I still care for her
And I feel like my life just isn’t mine
And I know that it’s time to let go
But there’s something you need to know
It’s that I still love her
And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle
You cling on everything I say
But none of that matters to me
You’re faithful and you care for me
And I fake a smile
I feel so bad for messing with your head
But I don’t know why I still think
About her oh
I still love her
Nothing can take it off my mind
I still care for her
And I feel like my life just isn’t mine
And I know that it’s time to let go
But there’s something you need to know
It’s that I still love her
And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle
You can’t tell that I don’t want to do this
You can’t see but I don’t really like you
You don’t know that she’s always on my mind
You can’t feel my heart racing when I’m near you
Because it’s not racing for you
You’re perfect in every way
But none of that matters to me
I still love her
Nothing can take it off my mind
I still care for her
And I feel like my life just isn’t mine
And I know that it’s time to let go
But there’s something you need to know
It’s that I still love her
And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle
'Cause I still love her

New York City
04:11
|

|
I fell down like the leaves on all the trees
I stumbled to your doorstep
I had no key
Your eyes took my heart
Into your room
And you whispered in my ear,
“You’ll fall real soon.”
‘Cause it’s one way yet again
And I’m alone
October rolls around
It’s getting cold
And it’s crazy that I found someone so pretty
Tell me, how’s the weather
In New York City?
I know how this ends, but I don’t care
You have me in your grasp
It isn’t fair
‘Cause I’ve gone down this road
And it ends bad
And I end up getting hurt
And being sad
‘Cause it’s one way yet again
And I’m alone
October rolls around
It’s getting cold
And it’s crazy that I found someone so pretty
Tell me, how’s the weather
In New York City?
I know I should leave
But you make me stay
Take out my heart
You won’t give it back
And I still see you
But you don’t see me
‘Cause I’m just a game
You’ve already played
‘Cause it’s one way yet again
And I’m alone
October rolls around
It’s getting cold
And it’s crazy that I found someone so pretty
Tell me, how’s the weather
In New York City?
‘Cause it’s one way yet again
And I’m alone
October rolls around
It’s getting cold
And it’s crazy that I found someone so pretty
Tell me, how’s the weather
In New York City?

A lot of the times when I get an idea for a song, I tend to pull out my phone, and I record a voice memo of it
And, I think those are really special because I think they kind of encapsulate the feeling I had when I first wrote the song
Because, a lot of the times I do it right after I write a song
So, I thought it’d be fun if I showed you guys three voice memos from songs on the album
That I think are just really special to me, and, I think they really show how the songs started
And I hope you enjoy
All the Time was a song that originated when my friend Evan Volkman had sent me a bunch of different tracks that he was working on
And, Evan and I have worked on both of my albums together
And, there was this one track that really, really stuck out to me
And I kind of immediately had this story in my head that I wanted to tell
And, I wrote down a few lyrics, I played that track, and, I kind of just sang this half finished melody I had
And, I sent it to him and he really liked it so, I wrote the rest of the song and it went on the record
This is the voice memo for all the time
Ok so like, here’s a few ideas that I wrote down
Um, I have like, a melody that I kind of want to work around
But, the chorus I’m kind of iffy about
I know I can be crazy
But I’ll give you a good time
I’ve been worrying lately
But don’t worry, it’s all alright
So, come on over
And, let’s get closer
I’m tired of being friends
You don’t notice
That I’m
But, I want you here in my arms
‘Cause when the night goes out
All I think about
Is you and I
Don’t you think that we could fly?
Why am I so shy?
Yes, I do this all the time
All the time
And then I want to go like,
“All…”
Like, wait, kind of like,
“All, all, all, all, all, all the time”
Like…like a ton of layers, but, something like that
So I’m gonna work on the lyrics more
And then I’ll get back to you

The One (Guitar/Vocal)
02:42
|
|||
|
The One was a song that was a really defining moment for this record
Before, I had no clue what I wanted to call the album, and it definitely felt unfinished
And, I went through all of the songs and the lyrics, and one phrase that kind of came up multiple times was, “the one”
And I was like,
“You know, that would be a really cool song”
So, I was in chemistry class, and, I kind of just wrote down a few ideas I had
And, I definitely wrote it from a satire perspective, you know it’s kind of just like, being crazy, like,
“I will not let you leave”
And, obviously, that’s now how I am
But, it was a song that was definitely pivotal in the process of the album and, it’s a song I’m really proud of
‘Cause I keep thinking I have a chance
You seem to only wanna get into his pants
I wish we weren’t such good friends
The night’s still far from an end
‘Cause the one for me wants someone else
But baby don’t you know
That I’ll never go?
Yeah the one for me knows no one else
Babe I won’t let you leave
Please tell me you’re with me
‘Cause you’re the one
Yeah, I like that

Time of My Life is one of those songs that just, came to me immediately
And I knew exactly what I wanted to say
And I wrote it in a fairly short amount of time on my guitar
So, what you’re about to hear is me right after I wrote the song, kind of just playing it out
I had a pretty clear melody in my head and, it’s pretty similar to what you hear on the album
So, this is Time of My Life
I don’t want to do this
I’m just doing what you asked
And I don’t want to go through with this
But I just want to what you said
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
I really like you
But if you don’t feel the same, it’s ok
And I wish things were different
And right now you’d be in my arms
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
And it’s ok that I’ll never see your face again
And that you won’t remember
Who I am
And I’m alright with hiding my feelings
Because it’s what you want
And I know that it’s too late
And we’ve already said goodbye
And it’s crazy how fast the time can fly
But know that I don’t ever want to lose you
I had the time of my life with you
So I’ll lay awake in my bed
Regretting everything I should’ve said
And I’ll watch you find the one
Wishing I could be that someone
Oh but I’m not
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh but I’m not
