'Beautifully Wasted"
Past the sea of velvet faces
Lies the one I know
The smoke grey eyes and candid mouth
Where candid words to flow
My memories and shaded dreams
outnumbered all my fears
You call to me, so now I see
I've wasted all these years
Beautifully wasted
Beautifully wasted
Beautifully reborn
When I see you and breathe you out
You breathe me in and blind my eyes
To your delicate disguise
"Waiting"
I wake up to coffee, traffic
Boss man'll be mad, I call in sick
Balcony with second cup
Waiting for things to look up
Can't see past yesterday
Slipping, tripping through today
So tense, I need to unwind
I just need to give this some time
Grandma's birthday, heading over
Family peering over my shoulder
"You here alone?" Their constant question
"Find a man" my dad's suggestion
But I can't see past yesterday
Slipping, tripping through today
So tense, I need to unwind
I just need to give this some time
My life unfolds just like a map
I need someone fold it back
"Take a Picture"
Walk down the street
People stare, do a double take
They judge and they size me up
It's fine if they stare
I'm just fine, I don't really care
Oh, oh
Take a picture
it'll last longer
judgement on others
so you're scared of the mirrors
Oh, Oh
Take a picture
it'll last longer
It's not how you look
your shape or your hair
it's what makes your heart beat
that makes you beautiful
