Test Drive

[Intro]
We can just take this on a test drive, keep it going all night
And we can have a good time
[Verse 1]
To be honest, I’m entranced from your entrance
The light mighta enhanced your enchantment
I don’t got plans for advancing
Change that, but the only change is in the pocket that I got my hands in
Poor boy, but am I doing okay?
Can I buy you another vodka and OJ?
Don’t look like Cap but I can do this all day
Got a lot that I want to say
Oooooh, think you got it all
Gotta shoot this shot that I’m calling
Gotta chase like an alcoholic
Only gravity knows how quick I’m falling
Can’t freeze, but I gotta take a breather
But really when is the next time I’ll see ya?
Pull the courage out the ether, but my knees are getting weaker from this lil diva, so I say hey
[Pre-Chorus]
{Did you come here on your own?
Don’t spend tonight all alone}
If you need a little company, I don’t mind one thing, I just love being alive
{Hop in the car and we’ll go
Hop in and I’ll take you home}
Ay, We can coast down the coast with the windows down and ride
[Chorus]
We can take this on a test drive
Keep it going all night, and we can have a good time
We could sing until the fire dies
Wouldn’t mind if you’re on my mind for the rest of my life
[Verse 2]
Howling down the highway
Breeze runs through your hair not a care
This is more than okay, though
Singing our lungs out to your favorite songs playing on the radio
Stick to the speed limit, no, it won’t hurt
I don’t only got eyes for the short term
I’ll be the last man standing when we hit the spot
Catching the buzz of the night sky in the parking lot
[Pre-Chorus]
{Did you come here on your own?
Don’t spend tonight all alone}
If you need a little company, I don’t mind one thing, I just love being alive
{Hop in the car and we’ll go
Hop in and I’ll take you home}
Ay, We can coast down the coast with the windows down and ride
[Chorus]
We can take this on a test drive
Keep it going all night, and we can have a good time
We could sing until the fire dies
Wouldn’t mind if you’re on my mind for the rest of my life
[Bridge]
Well, I’m in no rush, but I love the rush I get from you
The way your cheeks are blushing, I know that you feel it too
This spectacular escape, I’ll keep it rested in the recesses of my psyche
So I can dream of the way you are and how you look tonight
[Chorus]

Oversized T-Shirt

[Verse 1]
When I’m restless and anxious, you make me feel so serene, bringing out the best parts of me
I shut out all their noise and spit out all their poison
We’re comfortable in quiet, I gotta believe
You have all the answers, how could I not put you first when you’re living rent-free in my mind?
How could I forget the chill up my spine, the lovely thrill, when the webbing of your hand meets mine?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, you reside in every thought of mine
I can’t wait to get back home, open that door, and
[Chorus]
See you in an oversized t-shirt
Kick my shoes off and know that I’m home
And all my fears and troubles are over
Come close cuz tonight all I need is you!
[Verse 2]
Oh, the evenings entice us
Whisper with your lisp and I just
Lust for the moment that our lips touch
Barefoot with your heels in hand
I don’t mind dancing for a little longer, but it’s getting late
You got on those glasses, damn, I can’t concentrate
I’m growing so infatuated every day, what can I say?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You define all the words that I can’t find to describe my state of mind every time I
[Chorus]
See you in that oversized t-shirt
Kick my shoes off and know that I’m home
And all my fears and troubles are over
Come close cuz tonight all I need is you!
[Bridge]
I just got to see you
I just got to see you
I just got to see you
Well, I just want to
[Chorus]
See you in that oversized t-shirt
Kick my shoes off and know that I’m home
Will all my fears and troubles be over?
Don’t care, cuz tonight all I need is you!
I'll see you in that oversized t-shirt
Kick my shoes off and know that I’m home
And all my fears and troubles are over
Come close cuz tonight all I need is you!
Darling, I’ll see you in that oversized t-shirt
Kick my shoes off and know that I’m home
And all my fears and troubles are over
Come close cuz tonight all I need is you!
It’s you, oh you, just you…

When This Is All Over...
03:00

[Verse 1]
When this is all over, I’ll pack my bags and move to Paris with you
Start a new phase, ain’t it crazy how days just fade away from view
[Chorus 1]
Leap without looking, keep your eyes on me
I don’t care where I go, here isn’t where I want to be
[Verse 2]
Let’s sign a lease where the breeze reaches our penthouse suite, buy some books I’ll never read
400 wishes for your stolen kisses, breathless love in the afternoon
[Chorus 2]
Take our time, let’s just enjoy these nights
While we’re still young, we’ll dream
While we’re still young, we’ll cry
[Verse 3]
I’ll wait for that day, long as life isn’t wasted saving and fading away
Long for tomorrow and sober your sorrow, and know I’m here to stay!
[Finale]
When this is all over, I’ll pack my bags and move back home with you

[Intro]
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
[Verse 1]
Can we make up when we wake up?
Or is the rift just way too wide?
Are you reeling from that feeling?
Or will this healing take some time?
Oh, darling, I wanna get back on the right track, was kinda hoping you would like that, too
Thought it could be forever, tryna it keep together, but what the hell am I supposed to do?
I was afraid that I would fall, plan changed, now you won’t call
Hoping for one more smile but I’m afraid that tale could be too tall
[Chorus]
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
[Verse 2]
I thought I was invincible, indispensable
Pent up anger leading to the indefensible
So I put my fences up, cynical, but there I go again
But I’m lost, maybe I should find a new style
Get up and move to a new town
Feeling all the pain, but I don’t wanna be just 10 digits when your phone lights up
But who is this boy taunting me when my screen shuts off and all I see is
Just me drained of my confidence, I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
It’s something about me, huh?
Miscommunication?
Well, I’m gonna be blaming it all on me
I gave you all of me, I gotta know
[Chorus]
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
[Verse 3]
Toxic, venomous, every word had a bite
Think we just stayed for the comfort, lost all my self worth, does a sorry even suffice, though?
Look, was this just a matter of time?
Or was it just a matter of time?
You’re still once in a lifetime, but now I’m begging for a lifeline cuz
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
[Bridge]
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life
[Finale]
If I fail you, let you down, will you still be in my life?
Don’t wanna lose you, but I hope you will still be in my life

Cherry Blossom

[Verse 1]
I think I tried a little too hard
Did I go a little too far?
Did I settle for a rental of your heart?
Well, the sun was always setting on us, bettin’ distance would tear us apart
Did the orchid lose all of its petals?
Patiently racing time, testing my mettle
I pushed the pace, but even still to this day all I could see is your face and it’s just
[Chorus]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Pretty as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow shining through your window?
Do you get light from the stars?
Did we meet in the wrong season
Well before the flowers were to bloom?
[Verse 2]
Oh, was I a fool?
I couldn’t figure out if I could ever change your mind or accept that truth
And feel the way that you do
I couldn’t if I wanted to
Cuz you’re just out of reach like a cloud in the sky
Are you a wisp of a mist that passed me by?
In time will I get a second try?
If not, at least I’ll have those nights
My body shakes when you glance at me
There’s nowhere that I’d rather be
Is this feeling ephemeral?
No, I wish you didn’t have to go
[Chorus]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Pretty as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow shining through your window?
Do you get light from the stars?
Did we meet in the wrong season
Well before the flowers were to bloom?
[Verse 3]
And so I’m gone
Faded out like the colors of a blossom come autumn
I fell hard with nothing to soften
Girl, I’m just being honest
Someone like you don’t come around often
Thought I found someone to be lost with
Be the talk of the town, be the gossip
Don’t really care where you choose to bloom
But I pray that I can cherish another beautiful view with you
[Finale]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Perfect as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow beaming through your window?
Do you still shine where you are?
I think we met in the wrong season
Well before the flowers were to bloom

Good Night

[Verse 1]
Another day, another dollar
But what’s the price I pay if I don’t have a minute of calm?
A comma on the check can’t change my happiness, so I find it best to leave the drama where it is
But this vest ain’t bulletproof, it don’t protect my heart
Might need an oversized tee so it’s harder to hit the mark
But I don’t mind that she got pinpoint accuracy
In fact it’ll be smarter if I just roll up my sleeve
So bullseye quick and we can take liftoff in 3, 2, 1…
I think she missed the flight
“I can’t tonight”, the story of my life
It hurts right now, but I think everything will be alright, now, won’t it?
Like, how do I know that she could be the one?
How do I know that this path I’m taking is the same I’ll be on when I’m done?
How do I know what my purpose is?
This dearth of certainty is closing curtains on yearnings that blur with the rising sun
Am I jumping the gun? Are you listening? Is anyone?
Do you hear me? Does she hear me?
Am I sounding like someone in a corner at a party draining all the fun?
But there’s a balance to the good and bad, there’s happy, there’s sad
1109 shades between black and white
And today I think the orange and the purple of the sky around 7 was the perfect light
I wouldn’t mind if that stuck in my mind the rest of my life
An antidote to the poison I ended up drinking
Got a few loose bolts so I crank them
I blank it and I thank it, so I can stop thinking that I was a fool to think this feeling was ephemeral
I know I’ll always feel this way about her, and that’s just how I am: nostalgic
And I’ll be looking back on these past loves and logged days that made me into this shape of a man
[Verse 2]
I can feel the self-doubt creeping in, slowly making its way through my skin, with my confidence in the basement
Things I shoulda said, moves I shoulda made
All the dates we never went on looping on in my imagination
This movie’s getting old, I’m ready to change my tune
But I think I might be a little too scared to
Well, I’m too content to trust my bent
And hope I pirouette in her mind the way she does in mine
Cuz I look at her with feelings, she speaks to me in words
No verse, am I cursed with a love of her language?
I got time for love language, ours work in concert
But in time will this love languish?
This doubt keeps me thinking I’m not good enough for her
But I know I am good enough and I am not settling
And if she gets back, well, I hope that I’m getting a second date
Or someday we’ll try when the time is right
When she’s no longer floating on a wind that’s passing me by
When I get my shit straight, but what is a normal life?
I had a vision things would look a little different
2020: the year of “I was supposed to”s and lost time
Kuya said to think of it as “I planned to”s
You gotta choose to view it through a hue of blue
But who knew, I’d still be waiting in that queue
Biding time til I can get freaky like Babu
Inside I’m still just a scared boy
Psyche stuck back in 2011, with a fear of confrontation
I fear that this feeling of not meeting expectations is so restraining
But I guess I’m just fearing all that’s changing
But when will it be my time?
I’ve been feeling so impatient
Live rent free in your mind, you’ll breathe my name in every exhalation
I won’t say shit to satiate the devil that’s been latent
So I’ll raise my voice til the date of my expiration
[Finale]
I still feel like I’m running out of time
Thing is, frankly, I’m still in my prime
With a million other chances, not just tonight
So close my eyes and know
I still got life, I still got youth
I’ll find a little peace of mind, I’ll find my route
Somehow, I still got hope, still feel brand new
And every night I still dream that I’ll still have you by my side
Good night
