Chameleon 

I wear your perfume - Sip your lemonade - I wear your wedding ring - A hand grenade
I take my coffee just the same as you - I do everything just like you 

I changed my hair - Changed the way that I dress - I faked my way out of loneliness
My favorite color’s now the shade of your eyes - I’m a chameleon, come change my mind 

Yeah you’re stronger, you’re smarter - And you’re cooler too 
And I’d do anything to be like you

I go to church - I sing and pretend - I sold my soul - For a Mercedes Benz
I spend money like I own the place - I sip your rosé with a smile on my face 

I’m a shadow - You’re the sun in my eyes - I’m a cloud in your crystal skies 
When we’re together we’re a hell of a pair - But you’re always running and I’m gasping for air 

Yeah you’re faster, disaster is the best I can do 
You’re worthy, you turned me - And I bit more than I can chew 
I’ll never tell you but I’m burning and it’s true 
I’d do anything to be like you 
Yeah I’d do anything to be like 

I’m not shiny, happy and new - But I can fake it - And I’ll fake it for you 
You’re richer, you’re brighter - And you’re hotter too 
You’re meaner, you’re cleaner - I think I’m falling for you 

I’ll never tell you but I’m burning and it’s true 
I’d do anything to be like you 
Yeah I’d do anything to be like you

Don’t You Fade Away 

Kiss me if you're able
Sing me one last song 
Whisper something to me 
I'll remember when you're gone 

We can talk about the future 
Bargain for more time 
But Jesus didn't negotiate 
God made up his mind 

Don't you fade away 

You're still the first to wake me 
To lift my swollen eyes 
Daylight stains the ceiling 
And my single pillow dries 

Children on the sidewalk 
Laughter with a sting 
My heart may be heavy 
But I'm still listening 

When all your burning questions are lifted up in flames 
Don't you dare desert me, don’t you fade away 

Don't you fade away 

My eyes are getting heavy 
And my pen has gone dry 
Conversation has subsided 
These lines no longer lie 

There's no going back 
Everything decays 
But don't you dare desert me 

Don't you fade away 

I wish you were here right now 

I’m still listening

Get Me Outta Here 

Sometimes I kinda hate you - Sometimes I wanna scream 
Sometimes I can’t stomach - Everything I eat 

Sitting on this rooftop - I took the stairs 
I wonder how long it would take to get down from here 

Get me outta here - I’m suffocating 
Get me outta here - The sun’s too strong 
Get outta here - ‘Cause everything feels wrong 
Get me outta here 

Tall blue-collared neighbor - Used to buy me drinks 
Used to have a boyfriend - Now I’ve got a shrink 

Sometimes I kinda like it - But then it fades away 
I keep smacking heads - And this wall that never breaks 

Get me outta here - I’m suffocating 
Get me outta here - I don’t belong 
Get me outta here - Everything feels wrong 
Get me outta here 

Get me outta here - I can’t take it 
Get me outta here - I’m moving on 
Get me outta here - I’m suffocating 
Get me outta here - I don’t belong 
Get me outta here - Everything’s just wrong 

Get me outta here

Out Here

Out here no one complains about the weather
Thunderstorms and sunshine are the same
We don’t wear T-shirts in December
But out here, I’ve got a name

Out here no one drinks whisky after midnight
We save our sipping for the moon
Our eyes are opened by the daylight
Out here, we drink coffee ’til noon

Out here nobody’s been to New York City
And California’s just another song
These country roads and skylines and so busy
But our here is where my heart belongs
Yeah out here is where my heart belongs 

Out here we save our wishing for the sunsets
We’re just as lonesome and confused
It’s not a city, it’s a mindset
Out here is anywhere you choose
Out here is anywhere you choose

More Like You 

I was living in a mansion - Up in North Country 
But these stars don’t shine bright like they used to - No these eyes can’t see 

You were living on the South Side - Saving quarters for your sheets 
Life was anything but stale - Nights were sweet 

Ooh make me fall in love again - Ooh make me light, make me true 
Make me less extraordinary - Make me just a little more like you 

If I could give back my direction - I’d sing my song again 
I’d forget my destination and learn to swim 

Ooh make me fall in love again - Ooh make me light, make me true 
Make me less extraordinary - Make me just a little more like you 

You ask a lot of questions - You always tell the truth 
You’re hungry for a lesson - You’re not afraid to lose 

Ooh make me fall in love again - Ooh make me light, make me true 
Make me less extraordinary - Make me just a little more like you

Meet Me Halfway 

Meet me at the market 
On a Tuesday afternoon 
Meet me in the canyon 
Beneath the midnight moon 

Find me at the ocean 
Reaching out my arms 
Promise me you'll never ever do me any harm 

Meet me in the alley 
I'll wait from rise to dark 
Meet me in the shadows 
Meet me in the park 

Ground yourself down next to me when nothing seems to stay 
Baby if you want me 
Meet me halfway 

I can't keep conversation 
No I can't look you in the eye 
A hit of you lasts longer 
Than some temporary high 

Maybe it's my youth 
That gives my heart away 
Or maybe you're the answer 
To why no one ever stayed 

You’re wiser and you’re older 
And have half as much to say 
But I'm full of affection, 
I’m passionate and brave 

Do you want me 

Like I want you 

Do you want me 

Too 

I know we're nearly strangers 
And this is more than I should say 
But you're the first thing that I think of at the dawning of day

Moving On 

I turned all of the lights off - I left you in the dark 
I took everything that I want - Bless your little heart 

And I staggered down the staircase - With a suitcase in my hand 
I think I do not know my place - So I’ll be the man 

I’m moving on 
You can’t disappoint me anymore 
Moving on 
To the desert, to the valley, to the shore 
Don’t try to find me 
‘Cause I think I lost myself too 
Moving on from you 

You talk about forgiveness - By sharpening your sword 
I think I need a witness - I think you need the Lord 
You can’t play with angels - Just like you play with dolls 
You can’t laugh it off this time - There’s skin involved 

I’m moving on 
You can’t disappoint me anymore 
Moving on 
To the westside, to the valley, to the shore 
Don’t try to find me 
‘Cause I think I lost myself too 
Moving on from you 

Baby played with angels - Baby played the lyre 
Baby played electric - Baby played with fire 
Baby’s gotta have it - Baby’s gotta go 
Baby’s got a habit, no 

I’m moving on 
You can’t disappoint me anymore 
Moving on 
To the desert, to the valley, to the shore 
Don’t try to find me 
‘Cause I think I lost myself too 
Moving on from you 

I’m moving on

L.A. Let Me Go 

Living in this oven - 375 
Time is running down and it’s burning me alive 

Working on this farm - in this never ending chore 
The animals are rising up like 1984 

Losing this west coast war 

3 story apartment - I’m lying here again 
I can’t hear my heartbeat in this sunset traffic jam 
I’m not liberated - I’m just living on my own 
I think you got the best of me - And now I better go

Los Angeles let me go 

Sleeping on the fault line - Dreaming 'bout the end
If I could just wake up - I might move on again 
My foot is kinda heavy - And my mind is on the road 

Los Angeles let me go
