Someone Like You 03:18
lyrics

You said, “I think our souls are the same shade of blue” And darling that’s how I knew I wouldn’t escape thoughts of you Every night when he’s fast asleep Catch myself drivin’ past your house Music playing way too loud Hopelessly hoping somehow You’d hear that song and think of me I’ve never met someone like you before Snuck in through a window when I locked all the doors Stole my heart from his hands, wrecked all my plans Thought I was on track, I knew just what to do ‘Til I met someone like you I said, “I can’t believe we’re here again” We swore last time would be the end You tell her I’m just a friend And it’d kill her to see what these friends do I’ve never met someone like you before Snuck in through a window when I locked all the doors Stole my heart from his hands, wrecked all my plans Thought I was on track, I knew just what to do ‘Til I met someone like you She sleeps in sheets I’d kill to spend my nights in He don't know my heart don’t beat for him You took my life in a new direction Now everything I thought I knew, I question I’ve never met someone like you before Snuck in through a window when I locked all the doors Stole my heart from his hands, wrecked all my plans Thought I was on track, I knew just what to do ‘Til I met someone like you

She 02:52

When she walks into a room, all eyes are on her When she flashes a smile, it can light up the world And the love in her heart is unparalleled Ain’t nobody who knows her who ain’t under her spell And she has no clue but I do She’s beautiful and confident, she makes the most of every day She’s fearless and she always knows exactly what to say She’s graceful and she stands her ground, and everyone can see That she’s everything I wanna be She won’t think twice ‘bout lending a hand She’ll give you the moon again and again And she don’t want nothin’ in return But everything and then some is what she deserves And she has no clue but I do She’s beautiful and confident, she makes the most of every day She’s fearless and she always knows exactly what to say She’s graceful and she stands her ground, and everyone can see That she’s everything I wanna be She’s gonna save the world someday She ain’t ever got a bad thing to say They say nobody’s perfect she’s damn near close And everyone who meets her knows She’s beautiful and confident, she makes the most of every day She’s fearless and she always knows exactly what to say She’s graceful and she stands her ground, and everyone can see That she’s everything I wanna be Yeah she’s everything to me

Linen Dress 03:02
lyrics

We were the kind of kids who thought we knew it all Said forever in June, couldn’t think of the fall Spent three whole months in a romantic cliché Living out our love story every day The summer rain hit my linen dress Barefoot dancin’ and my hair a mess I was on cloud nine I must confess When you said you liked me best in my linen dress When the time came and we said goodbye You promised you would, but you didn’t try To keep in touch that lonely September Now the sight of that dress in my closet just makes me remember The summer rain hit my linen dress Barefoot dancin’ and my hair a mess It cuts me deep I must confess Thinkin’ how you liked me best in my linen dress Couldn’t handwash away your memory so I had to throw it out Found somethin’ new, a better fit on me, oh if you could see me now The summer rain hits my linen dress Barefoot dancin’ and my hair a mess I’m on cloud nine I must confess Because I, I like me best in this linen dress

Learned That from You 02:13
lyrics

You taught me lessons I never thought I’d learn Showed me how cruel minds work Should probably thank you for showin’ me the signs Now I won’t ever get hurt ‘Cause you can’t break a heart that ain’t there If I know how to be ruthless, run from commitment, give a good woman whiplash If I can break a heart like it’s the easiest thing to do Honey I learned that from you Now I can see that it ain’t a fairytale More like a game of strategy No happy endings, those are for suckers There ain’t love without tragedy Yeah honey you shattered that fantasy If I know how to be ruthless, run from commitment, give a good woman whiplash If I can break a heart like it’s the easiest thing to do Honey I learned that from you If I know how to be ruthless, run from commitment, give a good woman whiplash If I can break a heart like it’s the easiest thing to do Honey I learned that from you

Anyone 03:09
lyrics

Pumpkin spice and everything nice I always try to do what’s right And I give more than I can bear Gotta smile and play the part Mona Lisa, a work of art ‘Cause if they knew, they still wouldn’t care Keep it together for everyone But what happens when I come undone? If I’m a rock and I’m the shoulder they cry on What happens when I’m gone, what happens when I’m gone? If I fall apart and the time comes When I need someone, will I have anyone? Will I have anyone? Tried askin’ for the things I need But there’s always somethin’ bigger than me So I shut it down and summon superwoman Keep it together for everyone But what happens when I come undone? If I’m a rock and I’m the shoulder they cry on What happens when I’m gone, what happens when I’m gone? If I fall apart and the time comes When I need someone, will I have anyone? Will I have anyone? You know I’d give you all I have ‘til there’s nothin’ left of me But I’ve got issues of my own and I’m dyin’ for you to see If I’m a rock and I’m the shoulder they cry on What happens when I’m gone, what happens when I’m gone? If I fall apart and the time comes When I need someone, will I have anyone? Will I have anyone?

Not for Me 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Necessity formed the friendships that were never meant to last We turned 18, we hit the road, never to look back There’s no hard feelings, no one to blame Life goes on and times they change Sometimes you gotta fly away to find out what you need Some of us turn right back around, and the rest of us roam free There’s a whole lotta roads you can travel down to get to where you wanna be Going home might be the road for you, but it’s not for me Nostalgia doesn’t shade my memories with a rose-coloured lens Some of us feel better now than we ever did back then There’s no attachment, no glory days To reminisce on, it’s just a haze Sometimes you gotta fly away to find out what you need Some of us turn right back around, and the rest of us roam free There’s a whole lotta roads you can travel down to get to where you wanna be Going home might be the road for you, but it’s not for me Friday nights in smoky bars with fake friends and exes It’s not for me, it’s not for me White picket fences and raising babies It’s not for me, it’s not for me Watching all our kids live the same lives we did It’s not for me, it’s not for me Sometimes you gotta fly away to find out what you need Some of us turn right back around, and the rest of us roam free There’s a whole lotta roads you can travel down to get to where you wanna be Going home might be the road for you, but it’s not for me

Butterfly 02:39
lyrics

Breakin’ in a new pair of blue jeans, a new shade of red on my lips Feelin’ like a whole brand new me, a woman you’ve never met It’s a change long overdue ‘Cause I never liked the version of me that showed up around you You wouldn’t know me if you saw me So you don’t have to pretend you’re sorry I ain’t in no pain Feelin’ free instead of caged in Like my new life’s about to begin I survived your goodbye and I came out a butterfly You were scared to let me grow so you kept me fenced in Oh but darlin’ don’t you know that’s a game nobody wins It’s a change long overdue ‘Cause I never liked the version of me that showed up around you You wouldn’t know me if you saw me So you don’t have to pretend you’re sorry I ain’t in no pain Feelin’ free instead of caged in Like my new life’s about to begin I survived your goodbye and I came out a butterfly With you, I was quiet, never stood my ground Without you now, I’m flying high and I’m never comin’ down You wouldn’t know me if you saw me So you don’t have to pretend you’re sorry I ain’t in no pain Feelin’ free instead of caged in Like my new life’s about to begin I survived your goodbye I survived your goodbye I survived your goodbye And I came out a butterfly

No Tears Left 03:22
lyrics

I heard the wedding bells from a thousand miles away I always swore I’d never see the day You’d get all dressed up and commit to lifelong love And I know it’s been a long, long time, but I still thought I’d die inside When you said I do, and she said it too I thought I’d be a sobbing mess, but my eyes were stayin’ dry Spent so much time thinkin’ her life would be mine So imagine my surprise to find, I have no tears left to cry I wonder if you know your anniversary Is five years to the day from when you last saw me Can’t say it didn’t feel a little strange But I thought it’d hurt a whole lot more watching you fade away When you said I do, and she said it too I thought I’d be a sobbing mess, but my eyes were stayin’ dry Spent so much time thinkin’ her life would be mine So imagine my surprise to find, I have no tears left to cry I always said this thing with us would never end So I knew I could never let my guard down But I guess time did what it was supposed to And my heart is whole without you now When you said I do, and she said it too I thought I’d be a sobbing mess, but my eyes were stayin’ dry Spent so much time thinkin’ her life would be mine So imagine my surprise to find, I have no tears left to cry
