It’s 5 am and I’m wondering if you wanted to swing by The sun is rising And I really wanna go to the beach Lake Michigan is looking sweet and I can smell the salt on your cheeks So to let the morning start I wanna rewind with you, So that all of the themes of last night blow away like the wind from the brew So I just want to sit here for a little while Express my gratitude for how I feel about Tomorrow, today Tomorrow, today Finding peace is so, so simple Give yourself just a little time for you to breathe Windows open, city’s waking Dawn is breaking, I feel lighter I’m ready to arise I’m ready to arrive So glad to be, to be alive

Seasons 04:24
Seasons, there are four of them And every single one revolves around you My love for you Well, I’ve been crushing and time has been rushing right past me and you I’m just curious, do you wanna cuddle up when it gets cold? Maybe all throughout the year For spring we’ll grow and in summertime we’ll have that summer glow Yes just you and I I was wondering if this could be so sentimental Let the flowers bloom and mountains thaw and good vibes drizzle And when sunlight falls, I feel the wind and hear the whistle Blowing on my neck while I look right at you and kiss you If I were to fall fast for you My soul would bud with petals of adoration Of how I’d love you in every season If I were to put trust in you I think that all we would do would be clues To how you’d love me in every season Oh yeah, yeah Oh yeah, yeah Lately, I’m open to changing like every leaf when it becomes cool I fall for you I’ve never seen such kind and tender eyes I recognize that you’ve fallen too I’m just curious, do you wanna cuddle up when it gets cold? Maybe all throughout the year For spring we’ll grow and in summertime we’ll have that summer glow Yes just you and I If I were to fall fast for you My soul would bud with petals of adoration To how I’d love you in every season If I were to put trust in you I think that all we would do would be clues To how you’d love me in every season To how I’d love you If I, if I, if I, Could fall, could fall, could fall For you, for you, for you in every season If I, if I, if I, Could fall, could fall, could fall For you, for you, for you in every season I could love you in every, in every I could love you in every season

Two sips of tea, the merry-go-round And I think I’m letting go now I let all the herbs trickle right in And I replenish what’s in my skin So I walk in a room where there’s no gloom Taking away the strain and dance alone After some time, I def- I definitely know Which sight would bring me peace the most So I go outside look at the sky and I look, I look to my right and It’s shy, the way that the light is So the way that it glows through the Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em I’m not hiding, open my eyes to the sun beside ‘em Birds are singing, bells are ringing, I am breathing Now I feel the comfort from ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em I’m not hiding, open my eyes to the sun beside ‘em Birds are singing, bells are ringing, I am breathing Now I feel the comfort from ‘em I’ve spent days and days resting in the trees The sun’s still shining down The air breathes into me I like being hooked on peace I feel blithe I can now see I did what I should Sakura, secure, starting to bloom Now trusting me like I trusted you So consistently, I start to breathe Stretch out the kinks Withhold, release Trust is forming dearly Look up and see the blossom leaves fall around me The beams of glee are starting to glisten like Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em I’m not hiding, open my eyes to the sun beside ‘em Birds are singing, bells are ringing, I am breathing Now I feel the comfort from ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em I’ve spent days and days resting in the trees The sun’s still shining down The air breathes into me Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em I’m not hiding, come and find ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em Cherry blossoms come and find ‘em Cherry blossoms, I’m not hiding Come and find ‘em Cherry

Best Bling 04:16
How do I preserve all the things that I see? How do I know what is priceless of these? I’ve got ice on my neck Heels on my feet Diamonds in tack Blessings from The I feel out of all The things that I want are not too far, too far from me so… Do I look for treasure next? Or wonder how it's round my neck? Limousines and pretty things But I'm the one who's heaven sent Pictures up of me and you And you're the one that’s sent to me How much time does for our bond is definitely the best bling The best bling The best bling I put on my perfume and my favorite jewels Coming up on noon I look out to see the sun kissing on us Let me braid my hair, so I can prepare To write out and share how I'm wealthy with the truest love Just how the curtains flow The satin on my clothes Yes, I'm covered in gold, but does that really matter? When I glance into my mirror It suddenly is clearer with you, with you I’ve got gold on my neck Diamonds and pearls You take the pick Cuz they are all yours But what I really want and cherish the most The value of us and what we hold so… Do I look for treasure next? Or wonder how it's round my neck? Limousines and pretty things But I'm the one who's heaven sent Pictures up of me and you And you're the one that’s sent to me How much time does for our bond is definitely the best bling The best bling The best bling Do I want ya? Do I need this? Is there something that's worth more than what you give me? Is it kismet? Do I need you? Do I want this? Do I want ya? Do I need this? Is there something that's worth more than what you give me? Is it kismet? Do I need you? Do I want this? Do I want this? I do, I do

Everyday I walk into a room The head that I see turn always happens to be you I want to show you that I be seeing you too Know that I have pictures of when our fling may bloom I put in time for you, time for you You put in time for us, time for we I see the way you give me time to think It makes me see that you are right for me So I feel like I didn’t know you were a painting brush too And as I flow I see more clearly all the colors of you I see that water doesn’t change the way you stain the paper as of right now Right now But maybe stubbornness is something that I like about you So maybe after months of tears I understand the water comes from fear And maybe that’s on me, I’m not to tell Cuz if that doesn’t work, I use pastels, yeah Thinking if we fit together All the time you tell me that we flow together Thinking bout the hues and how the tone gets better Maybe we do flow, like maybe flow like feathers I feel like I didn’t know you’re a painting brush too And as I flow I see more clearly colors of you I see that water doesn’t change the way you stain the paper as of right now Right now But maybe stubbornness is something that I like about you But it’s new, but it’s new I told you all my thoughts, all my thoughts And you could recognize, it’s some of your mind

Subtle Pain 03:33
Oh love, oh love They say it'll be easy If you smile and you say that you’ve been fine all day They say it'll be simple If you sit down and you breathe out But I've got to realize I'm not that type I'm not the type to heal at night Why? I'm not the type to lay down and cry But I break down in subtle ways love I've been away love I’ve been afraid love I float up high You cannot save me I'm going crazy I float away You, you gotta hold me Tell me that my thoughts aren't so hazy Do you see the problems I’m facing That I have been chasing to fix, but I don't have my fix What it is that I need Said I'm scraping my knees On the ground, on the pavement Crown trickled down, but I saved it I, I do fall apart in subtle ways Say that I'm fine, but I'm breaking up in every single fucking way I take my time with the tears that I cry But I push them aside Cuz I'm not the type Cuz with all of this pain I keep it inside What it feels like ain't mine

Acceptance 03:44
Really, I’ve tried so many ways Trying to learn how to embrace How things will go and how they will end But I don’t know if I can pretend any longer Cuz I am exhausted, I am pondering I’m wondering how long I can stay in this But I really need a break cuz I do not feel safe So I should let myself Accept that I am in a different space I’ve got to let go of all of this weight I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and contemplating I feel naked, uncomfortable with the way I’m shaken I am wanting, just a break from all the frontin’ Everyday has been passing And say hello to another thought that’s lasting Thoughts living in my head for a month or two Suffocating, balancing the things I have to do But another man, thinking that they have all the power Getting in your head, trying to devour The little bit that you have left, trying not to implode Cuz then your pains and your wounds will be all unattended to Accept that I am in a different space I’ve got to let go of all of this weight I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and contemplating I feel naked, uncomfortable with the way I’m shaken I am wanting, just a break from all the frontin’ I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and contemplating I feel naked, uncomfortable with the way I’m shaken All the talk in my ear has really got me thinking Can’t get my head to clear, anxiousness in the making I am wanting, just a break from all the frontin’ I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and conte- conte- I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and contemplating I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and conte- conte- I’ve been waiting, overthinking, and contemplating I just need some information On how to get a bit of patience I’m breaking babe
