I remember when we were younger Swinging in your backyard and playing doorbell dixie When all we knew was hopscotch can get you kind of dizzy Do you remember when you saw me standing there? Cause I remember when you kissed me We were playing doorbell (doorbell) Dixie (dixie) doorbell (doorbell) Dixie During recess, I loved double dutch You always preferred red rover But it didn't matter, we'd usually sneak away Twisting lips instead of ropes and arms, that's how we'd play We were playing doorbell (doorbell) Dixie (dixie) doorbell (doorbell) Dixie We were playing doorbell (doorbell) Dixie (dixie) doorbell (doorbell) Dixie Tell me you'll love me tomorrow Tell me you loved me yesterday That you see right through my sorrow And you love me just the same Tell me you love me Tell me you do Tell me you love me Tell me you do Tell me you love me Tell me you do Oooh Do you remember when We were playing doorbell (doorbell) Dixie (dixie) doorbell (doorbell) Dixie We were playing doorbell (doorbell) Dixie (dixie) doorbell (doorbell) Dixie

With Him 03:12
With Him My cheeks are pink From kissing blush His hair is nice And lips are soft A handsome fit I’ll take it off So happy to be in love with him The kindest heart My handsome man Who sings to me And holds my hand I’m as lucky as one can get So happy to be in love with him He listens close Holding space With sincere eyes And tender face His gentle touch And my pretty lace So happy, so happy So happy to be in love with him

Burdensome 04:39
I don't want to be a burden Heavy on your heart Always needing reassurance We’re not falling apart Whoa I don't want to be burdensome And only find out once you've had enough (whoa) I don't want to be a burden love So would you tell me please if I'm becoming one (whoa…) I don't want to be a bother Heavy on your tongue I wonder if you're feeling smothered Every time I come along I don't want to be a nuisance Heavy on your back Am I being too translucent Every time that I unpack I don't want to be burdensome And only find out once you've had enough (whoa) I don't want to be a burden love So would you tell me please if I'm becoming one (whoa, whoa) I said, "Where are we going?” I'm afraid that you'll abandon me In my eyes the fear is showing He pulls me in to kiss my grief I don't want to be burdensome And only find out once you've had enough (whoa) I don't want to be a burden love So would you tell me please if I'm becoming one I don't want to be burdensome And only find out once you've had enough (whoa) I don't want to be a burden love So would you tell me please if I'm becoming one (whoa…)

I don't want to fight It makes me feel like garbage I'm not doing this tonight It doesn't match my garment Did I stutter Can we agree To disagree Don't want to yell ‘Cause what does that help Did I stutter Is it worth our time To protect our pride On the couch tonight Is it worth the fight Oh, is it over Well what’s the use You're so damn stubborn But I am too Is it over, between us two I told you to stop Should we call the whole thing off It shouldn't be so hard Don't blame it on the stars Are we in love? Cause I don't know If there's enough We didn't outgrow Did I stutter Did I stutter Did I stutter

Embers 05:19
Only a short time ago I sat among these sticks and stones Not knowing what to make of them You came along and caused a chemical reaction And we swore upon our hearts that the burning would never stop That we would be just like god An endless beginning and a constant start And every time I see that sign I think of us walking down our street at night Balancing on the curb heel to toe Playing games as you walk me the long way home And we swore upon our hearts that the burning would never stop That we would be just like god An endless beginning and a constant start But we grew apart & as we claim this fire Our hearts burn as one like a choir Passion you ignite her And we're stronger & as the embers die The night begins to thrive Like a heart that's broken twice It's stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger There is glowing coal from the flames The wind's blowing the ash away I don't have the strength to carry your weight Oh I just wish the fire would take Oh I just wish the fire would take Oh I just wish the fire would take I promised forever that was my mistake Please don't eat the embers fade away Oh I just wish the fire would take

There are warning signs I was living in denial I could see it in his eyes I just ignored them for a while But sooner or later the truth will come out He doesn't love me no more it turns out Time is a bitch and his lust was too much Well good riddance It shouldn't take so long to believe in my intuition I always think I'm wrong unless there's a little ammunition But I should know by now to trust my gut Instead of living in my doubt ‘cause what the fuck But sooner or later the truth will come out He doesn't love me no more it turns out Time is a bitch and his lust was too much Well good riddance

Rainbows 02:43
I saw a rainbow In the sky Was it a sign It just depends on the pair of eyes And in the morning When I wake up With the same old stuff Makes me feel I might as well give up Sometimes an ending Is for the best It pushes faith to the test 'til you don't know which way's east or west or west...
