1. The Mrs.
there was a little girl who had big dreams
she said, said to me those chains got nothing on me
now she sits in the corner wondering what went wrong
now she says oh baby, where did i go wrong
she was torn, all those chains, they held her down, oh
they said you can’t, Mrs. you’re not a man
don’t make me say it twice stand back in the shadows and be a good wife
you won’t ever win so let me set you straight, set you straight
there’s no equal and there won’t ever be, ever be
but there’s one thing they don’t know there’s fire in my eyes, fire in my eyes
so they better keep their guard up, i’m gonna fight, i’ll set this shit right
every time that she tried, they all told her she’d never belong
when she spoke, they all said listen, sweetheart, you’ll always be wrong
but she said i’ll keep trying until i make it, yeah
you won’t ever win so let me set you straight, set you straight
there’s no equal and there won’t ever be, ever be
but there’s one thing they don’t know there’s fire in my eyes, fire in my eyes
so they better keep their guard up, i’m gonna fight, i’ll set this shit right
so at the end of the day
i, oh, i only pray someday we won't have to keep fighting
for our own, our own, but right now they say
you won’t ever win so let me set you straight, set you straight
there’s no equal and there won’t ever be, ever be
but there’s one thing they don’t know there’s fire in my eyes, fire in my eyes
so they better keep their guard up, i’m gonna fight, i’ll set this shit right
3. Trapped in Freedom
don’t call me that name anymore, they fixed me i’m better now
gray eyes staring out the window, they fixed her she’s better now
'cross countries of pain and sorrow, they fixed us we’re better now
they tried to pray away it all, they fixed us we’re better now
our kiss is sin so beautiful
two perfect wrongs we let it go
is it really freedom if you give it to me
living in a world full of hate and she
was never known as more than my toxic friend
reading me the rules, don’t care no more
ripping us apart my heart is torn
and she was always more than my best friend
don’t make me say it out loud, no you’ll never understand
break my bones, knock me around now, always had the upper hand
we used to be so innocent
too young and now our story’s dead
is it really freedom if you give it to me
living in a world full of hate and she
was never known as more than my toxic friend
reading me the rules, don’t care no more
ripping us apart my heart is torn
and she was always more than my best friend
i'm spinning ‘round again, these feelings in my head
confuse me, make me feel so wrong
they tried to change my mind, the beauty hidden in her eyes
it chains me, keeps me loving her for so long
so is it really freedom if you give it to me
living in a world full of hate and she
was never known as more than my toxic friend
reading me the rules, don’t care no more
ripping us apart my heart is torn
and she was always more than my best friend
2. Hammocks
this morning i was sitting there, drinking my Americano
and thinking about you, thinking about me
and then i realized, oh baby, that we’re something special
tell me do you see what i see
‘cause all it ever really takes is for you to kiss me softly
cause then we’ll be free, free
maybe that’s why i’m waiting here, for you to tell me that you love me
‘cause then we’ll be free and you’ll be with me, and we’ll say
oh
oh
oh
oh
this girl is falling in love
with the boy from the record store who dances when he walks, oh and
this girl has fallen in love, with you, with you
so baby come on over, we can swing on old white hammocks
and watch the clouds move, dance to our own tunes
maybe we can just escape into our own land
just you and me, just being free, oh because
this girl is falling in love
with the boy on the subway line who smiles right through his eyes
oh and this girl has fallen in love, with you, with you
so i guess now if you feel like you’re alone
at least now you’ll have me
i guess now if you feel like you’re the only one
you’ll still have me ‘cause
this girl is falling in love
with the boy with the sweater top whose dreams burst through his mind
oh and this girl has fallen in love, with you, with you
this girl is falling in love
with the boy from the backwater bayou who shrinks in front of skyscrapers
and this girl has fallen in love, with you, with you and she says
oh
oh
oh
oh
4. Nicotine Patch
give me a nicotine patch to get me off my high
trying so hard to keep you out of my mind now
i need something to bring me back to life
'cause i'm running out of time
i remember when we first met and i thought that everything was clear
you felt to me like a breath of fresh air
back then i never knew you'd be the reason for my tears
now i'm hoping somebody will answer my prayers
i wished you would care now i'm in despair
tell others beware your sinful affairs
hurt beyond compare, you're my worst nightmare
my heart is broken, now it's sitting in a wheelchair
speaking of hearts let's talk about yours
i thought you had one, now i'm not sure
clearly, you haven't ever loved before
and i don't mean to shame but i think you're a
now every time i look at you i don't know how to feel
you had me on a leash, i was right at your heels
we were Batman and Robin in the automobile
and if you were Lois Lane i was the Man of Steel
give me a nicotine patch to get me off my high
trying so hard to keep you out of my mind now
i need something to bring me back to life
'cause i'm running out of time
so maybe now i hate you 'cause i stayed with you
and you ain't ever give me anything i gave you
but after everything that happened, i forgave you
i guess that i was one of many that was played by you
now if you're asking to bask in the past
i'm going to have to pass on that offer 'cause i
i ain't ever going to clap for the jack
that could yack their way out of catastrophe and
maybe if there was a little blue coming through
who knew, maybe i would feel for you but i
i ain't here for any redos, too true, i don't mess with you
give me a nicotine patch to get me off my high
trying so hard to keep you out of my mind now
i need something to bring me back to life
'cause i'm running out of time
i, i lifted you up but you brought me down
now i need someone to save me
help me somehow 'cause you're not around anymore
give me a nicotine patch to get me off my high
trying so hard to keep you out of my mind now
i need something to bring me back to life
'cause i'm running out of time
give me a nicotine patch to get me off my high
trying so hard to keep you out of my mind now
i need something to bring me back to life
'cause i'm running out of time
