Favourite Girl

Woke up this morning with a heart full of stone
My body aches and I'm all alone
Why did I keep coming back for more?
You said it once and you've said it before
But I'm hungry for your love
I waited for you in the darkest time
But it wasn't enough
You followed fear instead of love
But you were my favourite girl
I put all my bets on you
You were my favourite girl
I really believed in you
I gave you the sun, I gave you the moon
What more could I do?
You were my favourite girl
You stole my heart with your curly hair
Your perfect skin and the way you cared
I held on tight to the love I found
We stunned everyone in this damn town
Be careful with my heart
Cause you had it from the start
Now the clouds cover the sun
Now my love is gone
But you were my favourite girl
I put all my bets on you
You were my favourite girl
I really believed in you
I gave you the sun, I gave you the moon
What more could I do?
You were my favourite girl
You were my favourite girl
You were my favourite girl
You were my favourite girl
But you were my favourite girl
I put all my bets on you
You were my favourite girl
I really believed in you
I gave you the sun, I gave you the moon
What more could I do?
You were my favourite girl

Wild Nights
03:29
|

The look in your eyes
Is full of desire
Let me take you higher
Like a moth to a flame when you're calling my name
A siren, a siren
I've waited for you like I've waited for sun on the darkest of days
To miss you is power, I'll claim back the hours I couldn't see your face
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling me
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling
I'd leave Eden to find you
Break what confines you
Lay down beside you
You're the moon, I'm the sun, when I'm kissing your lips
Solar eclipse
I've waited for you like I've waited for sun on the darkest of days
To miss you is power, I'll claim back the hours I couldn't see your face
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling me
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling
You are infinity, you are infinity
With your hands on me, your love is poetry
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling me
Wild nights are calling, wild nights are calling

Saint
04:21
|

Next to you and I can hear your breathing
Let me get lost inside your dreaming
Sunshine in your eyes and in your hair
You took your time, I got lost in when
And I never knew, never knew how far I fell
It's only now I'm losing you
I know it well
Oh, because a love like this I'll never again find
And so I'll keep your love alive inside this heart of mine
Oh, you know you're my light
You're holy, you're divine
And you'll become a saint in no time
In this heart of mine
I've been far from you for too long
Bring me to your arms where I belong
Waiting for the day I can live beside you again
All of my brokenness you mend
And I never knew, never knew how far I fell
It's only now I'm losing you
I know it well
Oh, because a love like this I'll never again find
And so I'll keep your love alive inside this heart of mine
Oh, you know you're my light
You're holy, you're divine
And you'll become a saint in no time
In this heart of mine
My light
My light
My light
Oh, because a love like this I'll never again find
And so I'll keep your love alive inside this heart of mine
Oh, you know you're my light
You're holy, you're divine
And you'll become a saint in no time
In this heart of mine
You'll become a saint in no time

Blame it on the cheap wine
Not feeling it this time
Come back tomorrow night
Can't do anything right
And everyone wants to tie me down
Give me an answer, why the frown
But I never owed you anything
Gonna go now
Blame, blame, blame
I blame it all on love and heartbreak
Can't seem to get away
Looking backwards through my days
And going on too many dates
Blame it on your pickup line
Not feeling it this time
And I think you're a little too young
Still living at home with your mum
And I've got a mortgage to pay
Gotta take my dog for a walk
And I need another holiday
Can't stay and talk, baby
Blame, blame, blame
I blame it all on love and heartbreak
Can't seem to get away
Looking backwards through my days
And going on too many dates
These days my dog is the only one I trust
These days my dog is the only one I love
These days my dog is the only one I trust, I trust
These days my dog is the only one I love, I love, I love
Blame, blame, blame
I blame it all on love and heartbreak
Can't seem to get away
Looking backwards through my days
And going on too many dates
Blame, blame, blame
I blame it all on heartbreak
And I can't seem to get away, oh baby
Blame it on the cheap beer
Won't stay much longer here
And I have too many fears
Meet me again next year
Done.

This Time Around
03:30
|

This time around, I'd play it differently
This time around, I wouldn't fall so easy
Tell myself that it's okay
To just turn around and walk away
And leave before you call my name
Before we can hurt each other again
This time around
I'll put myself first
I'll be true to myself and what I believe in
True to myself and what I am needing
This time around
This time around
If only I had been a little more careful
If only you had been a little more kind
If only my past wasn't so hard to handle
And you hadn't fucked it up enough times
I'd leave before I watched you grow
To give you to someone I don't know
This time around
I'll put myself first
I'll be true to myself and what I believe in
True to myself and what I am needing
This time around
All my demons come out in the dark when I'm alone
Talking to an empty chair and I
Don't know which way to go
This time around
I'll put myself first
I'll be true to myself and what I believe in
True to myself and what I am needing
This time around
This time around

Say It
03:15

Say you want me
I love to hear you whisper my name
Say you need me
I love the fact that you ain't afraid
You're a little bit older
There's some things I'll have to show ya
Yeah, you're looking real nice
Think you're my type
I'm a little bit broken
You're a little outspoken
We're a little bit tipsy
Gonna have a good, good night
Say you want me
I love to hear you whisper my name
Say you need me
I love the fact that you ain't afraid
Don't play it safe, safe
Don't make me wait
I'm in a rush
To feel your touch
You're a little bit shy, shy
Think that's my guy
I know you're kind
But don't be tonight
Say you want me
I love to hear you whisper my name
Say you need me
I love the fact that you ain't afraid
Be dangerous, be dangerous
When you say my name
Be dangerous, be dangerous
When you say my name
When you say my name
When you say my name
When you say my name
When you say my name
Say you want me
I love to hear you whisper my name
Say you need me
I love the fact that you ain't afraid
Say you want me
I love to hear you whisper my name
Say you need me
I love the fact that you ain't afraid

I called out your name three hundred times
Under a full moon
The nights are drawing in
I wish that you'd come soon
Believe me when I tell you
There's no one who
Can take your place
Oh, have some faith
When will my love be enough
To quiet your fears
To dry all your tears
When will my love be enough
To make you believe
You're the girl of my dreams
If only you could see the way I see you
If only you were here with me tonight
I'd hold you close and keep you warm
With all my might
I'd tell you everything will be alright
When will my love be enough
To quiet your fears
To dry all your tears
When will my love be enough
To make you believe
You're the girl of my dreams
And oh my heart
It knows the familiar pain
Of you walking away
And oh my heart
It won't let go
Of your face
When will my love be enough
To quiet your fears
To dry all your tears
When will my love be enough
To make you believe
You're the girl of my dreams
When will my love
