Verse 1:
I think I’m getting attached to people who don’t see me
I think I’m breaking the rules I’ve spent all this time keeping
My mind’s been playing tricks on me lately
I’m swiping through Tinder as if any of these boys are changing
As if I’m any good at changing
Chorus:
I find myself in this bottomless pit
Where I’m spinning out and out of control
I never know if it’s there or it’s here
If I should be with them or if I should be alone
Oh, Emma
Oh, Emma
Do you think you’ll be this way forever?
Verse 2:
I think I’m getting attached to all this alone time
And I think I’ve met my match when it comes to my patience
My mind’s been making a switch on me lately
I’m feeling so desperate
As if I’m ever gonna change things
As if I’m any good at changing
Chorus:
I find myself in this bottomless pit
Where I’m spinning out and out of control
I never know if it’s there or it’s here
If I should be with them or if I should be alone
Oh, Emma
Oh, Emma
Oh, Emma
Do you think you’ll be the same forever?

All That We Can Get

Verse 1:
Last night I dreamed that all of us were better
And we could see the world together
But the ceiling’s caving in
And none of this will stand the test of time
Last night I dreamed our house was built up to the sky
But the structure was burning down before our eyes
Maybe if we gave it time
All the damage would subside
Chorus:
They say it’s not the way we planned it
Running round’ through all the rubble
We never meant for trouble, oh
But some of us can’t listen
Yeah, we’ll just keep wishing
For all that we can get
Verse 2:
Last night I dreamed that all of us were on the run
Cause’ we can’t stand what we’ve become
Oh, I’m convinced we gave it time
And the damage won’t subside
Chorus:
They say it’s not the way we planned it
Running round’ through all the rubble
We never meant for trouble, oh
But some of us can’t listen
Yeah, we’ll just keep wishing
For all that we can get
Outro:
They say it’s not the way we planned it
But it’s all that we can get

Wrong from Right

Verse 1:
Your time is up
And I finally see you for who you really are
You trusted your luck
And that didn’t get you very far
They told me all the reasons
They warned me of the risks
That falling in love with you would make you so hard to quit
I see you now, I see you
Looking back with different eyes
We were just kids
But you knew wrong from right
Chorus:
And I didn’t
She didn’t
I didn’t
Oh, I didn’t
She didn’t
Oh
Verse 2:
I wrote about you last week
I watched the videos
Did you know I’ve seen the pictures?
The things you said that you thought no one would know
I see you now, I see you
Looking back with different eyes
We really were just kids
But you knew wrong from right
Chorus:
And I didn’t
She didn’t
I didn’t
Oh, I didn’t
She didn’t
Oh
Bridge:
I would’ve given up so much to know what really happened
What really happened, oh
But now I see it doesn’t matter either way
You made a million mistakes
I should’ve never forgave you
Outro:
Oh, I see you now, I see you

Lit the Fire

Verse 1:
I’m trapped inside the room again
You know? The one you put me in
I’ve spent a lot of time just sitting here
Pretending that you never cross my mind
Feels like I haven’t seen the light of day
Since you planned your great escape
I’ve spent a lot of years away from you
I’m sure that I can make it through
Pre-chorus:
Cause’ your name doesn’t have to taint my words
Your voice doesn’t need to cause me hurt
Chorus:
Cause’ you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you
I freed myself of all your latches
I lit the fire without your matches
I found the light without your sun
I realized you will never be the one
You had me trapped inside that box again
No one near, you shut the lid
Was tangled up in my own web
And gripping for some sort of ledge
Pre-chorus:
Cause’ you stripped the walls
You buried the tools
And I could hear your voice suffocating me every time I felt a breakthrough
Chorus:
Cause’ you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you
(Interlude)
That you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you
I freed myself of all your latches
I lit the fire without your matches
I found the light without your sun
And I finally accepted
That you will never be the one
