Why Don't You Call Me? (free) 03:44
How come you won’t talk to me? Hoping you’re still into me. Hung up on you, silly boy. Hold on to your dignity. Whoa I need you around. Your fingers go walking about. Whoa, It’s wearing me out. You tell me to drop it I can’t believe you. I don’t believe you. Oh no no I want your love. You need to choose. Why don’t you call me when you do. How come you can’t look at me? Head down hanging shamefully. Hung out with some other girl. Why’d you give a ring to me? Whoa, I need you around. Your fingers go walking... about. Whoa, It’s beating me down. You tell me you’ll stop it. I can’t believe you. I don’t believe you. No no no I want your love. You need to choose. Why don’t you call me when you do. Please! Maybe you’re not satisfied, Or you’re sad inside. I don’t know. Maybe all this running around, Is running you down. I think so. Baby, hold me then. But Holy Mary, Mother of God, If you hurt me again I want your love. You need to choose. Why don’t you call me when you do.

You got to, got to know Back off! You got to, got to go Back off! You got to, got to know Back off! You got to, got to go

How'd We Get This Far? (free) 03:20
He’s just a pawn I move so well. He thinks it’s love But he can’t tell Anyone else. He lies to himself. He says he’s free but he’s under my spell. I might be wrong But it’s alright. I’ll be his queen, I’ll spend the night. It felt so nice Just once maybe twice. It’s time to leave. Don’t put up a fight Hangin out was something to do. How’d we get this far? Hangin out with nothing to do. How’d we get this far? We can’t go on. We’re just pretend. I’ll walk away, We’ll meet again. I don’t know when. My lover, my friend, We had our thing- All things must end. Hangin out was something to do. How’d we get this far? Hangin out with nothing to do. How’d we get this far? Hangin out, hangin out. How’d we get this far? Gone are the days of getting off easy, Gone are the days of lust Gone are the days, I break when he sees me. They are gone now, I am gone Hangin out was something to do. How’d we get this far? Hangin out with nothing to do. How’d we get this far? Hangin out, hangin out. How’d we get this far? How’d we get this far?

What do I do? Sometimes I just wanna be somewhere else I know the truth, no I don't wanna face it but I, but I might as well I just can't get out, I can't get out of my head, I keep thinking instead You know we can never get back to those golden days Try as we might, there's just no going back that way I know the truth, in some ways you just never feel fulfilled Listen to you, no you don’t wanna tell me but I know damn well you will You just can't get out, you can't get out of your head, you keep thinking instead You know we can never get back to those golden days Try as we might, there's just no going back that way never get back to those golden days, no going back that way Drinking under constellations, Tasting our emancipation sneaking out and holding hands, breaking up and one night stands We’ll never get back to those golden days, we’ll never get back You know we can never get back to those golden days Try as we might, there's just no going back that way You know we can never get back to those golden days Try as we might… there's just no going back

Jealousy (free) 05:32
Oh how I pay the price for my jealousy I might as well pay it twice for my depravity Oh does it show how I’m totally so over you I know how to hide all my jealousy I know how to play so nice that you never see Won’t realize all the times you denied my winding mind Look at me perfectly out of control Pity me, jealousy won't let me go You say you never fight any jealousy But I’d bet my life alright that you envy me Burning and churning inside of your mind, you’re defined by pride Look at me perfectly out of control Pity me, jealousy won't let me go Look at me perfectly out of control Pity me, jealousy won't let me go When you play it cool the fire burns like a thousand suns Could it be? I am the... the only one... one… whoa Look at me perfectly out of control Pity me, jealousy won't let me go Look at me perfectly out of control Pity me, jealousy won't let me go

You Can't Stand It (free) 03:31
You can’t stand it, but it’s true. You can’t stand it, but it’s true You’ve been talking dirt on everybody in your line of sight Such a tiny dog and barking so much harder than his bite You tell everybody else to lighten up and take a joke This time you’re the punchline and your cool head goes up in smoke Dish it out now, but you don’t know how to take it, no you can’t take it You’re gonna find out, right now I won’t play that game Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true You can’t stand it, can’t stand it Oh so many stories happen only inside of your head All of them, in bad faith, you’re making enemies out of friends Dish it out now, but you don’t know how to take it, no you can’t take it You’re gonna find out right now, I won’t play that game Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true You can’t stand it, can’t stand it Dish it out cold and then you fold under pressure It’s getting so old, and truth be told, I like you better with your mouth closed Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true Baby, you can’t stand it but it’s true You can’t stand it, can’t stand it

Forever (free) 03:31
Why won’t you leave me alone, You took me for everything Though you said you wouldn’t We can’t pretend when we know, The beauty of ending things Long before they’re ruined Just take a look at the walls around me,I built them over a life I made a rule to believe you could be anyone’s but mine It’s the same, it’s the same oh Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever With every beat of a heart, There is a reckoning, If you only knew it One touch can be an alarm, To send out a warning If you hold too long, it bruises Any way that the sun sets on me, I wonder where you are I’m reaching out to be closer but you’ve never felt so far It’s the same, it’s the same oh Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever With you, in one little move I’m feeling so bad, I kinda like that With you, I hang my heart on your last word So much for making a mark, We missed out on everything Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever? Why… can’t it last… with you I hang my heart on your last word
