You Can't Get It Back

You forgot to follow through
Yet again a trend that follows youth
One more time around the track
Follow the lines
Age makes you feel it in the chest
An endurance
Increase it with the dance
They thought you wore me well
But what happens next if you can’t tell
Guys I’ve met
What ever happens to them
I say ‘spend the night’
And then regret it when they don’t want to
(Chorus)
Hard to make the split
After feeling you up
He’s legit
No he’s not fucked up
Think that I should quit
Call the search right off
But it’s on and on and on and on.
Sometimes I feel like I obsess
A little much
You say that we’ve just met
But I don’t waste time
You can’t get it back
And there’s no ownership line
Need for polish
Innocence lost
Full of secrets that stick around and pile up
But you can’t get it back
Accept it like a crime and don’t look so sad
Guys I’ve met
What ever happens to them
I say ‘spend the night’
And then regret it when they don’t want to
(Chorus)
Hard to make the split
After feeling you up
He’s legit
No he’s not fucked up
Think that I should quit
Call the search right off
But it’s on and on and on and on.
Show me what the girl does
Show me what the girl does
This is how it starts with a demonstration
We play our parts it creates a better ending.
(repeat)
(Chorus)
Hard to make the split
After feeling you up
He’s legit
No he’s not fucked up
Think that I should quit
Call the search right off
But it’s on and on and on and on.

City Of Eros

I don’t rely on this sea of what I knew
You won’t be back in time for tea
The hardwood floors will leave a mark on my soul
I’ll scrub it until new layers peak through
You framed it for me
Somebody adorn me
But enough with this patience and tears
Glitter, bed sheets
Take the private out into the streets
Everywhere is my hair
Every lens is your friend
The city of eros has it’s place like a costume
I tried that on and found the fit
It’s seems on course like every evenings moon
Uncover the dark spot of choice
You framed it for me
Somebody adorn me
But enough with this patience and tears
Glitter, bed sheets
Let’s take the private out into the streets
Everywhere is my hair
Every lens is your friend
Love me
