We speak in sonnets Our hands the couplets Kissing haikus And amid the dark we compose These rhythmic stanzas Because at some point We stopped making love And started making poetry
I’m alien from another place I could be your love if you want me, babe Don’t you think too much about the words I say I know you’ll figure out, um, another day I’m the best things in the best ways I’m not a god, but I’m close, babe

Tried to understand where you’re coming from You were my moon and then you were my sun I breathed you in when I couldn’t breath in air I took you in and you took me everywhere
Tried to understand where you’re coming from Your top priority had nothing to do with us Evening after evening you just had fun Did you really think I could stay forever, hon?
Put my heart in Then I put my heart out I put my heart back in and shake it all about
I do the hokey pokey Then I turn myself around That’s what our relationship is all about
It’s pretty simple to see once your eyes adjust I just was stupid and giving with my love Tried to forgive you for doing me so wrong But hear I am feeling worthless in another song

Nothing Can Compare (Demo)
You’re the prettiest thing that I’ve ever seen Ask the mirror on the wall if you don’t believe The crash of the waves, the pull of the sea The horizon sweeping over me The spin the globe The clouds and the tress The sweetest flowers pollinated by trees All of these and gravity State the facts that I can clearly see
Nothing can compare Nothing can compare Nothing can compare Nothing can compare you
Nothing can compare Nothing can compare Nothing can compare Nothing can compare you
Fold me into your poems to be read aloud in the quietest corner of your heart.
Place me between the tightest lines where your uncompromising lips can be softened.
There is no winner in this tug of war, only me striving to stay in your vocabulary.

[Verse 1] I never thought that I’d be riding solo I did so much to love you but still go And now my heart is like a porthole It’s opened up and out went my soul
I never thought I’d ever be this low Can’t see the sun, the clouds, or even leave this room Or even leave this room …
[Chorus] Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go, go, go Go, go, go You flash and you go You flash and you go
[Verse 2] You flatter and go Like you ain’t got no soul Houdini would be jealous of your show And everyone knows what I know And everyone knows you can’t love a ghost
Money’s the only thing you ever chase You lost the love of your life for that race And now you’re scared to even show your face I hate to put you on blast in this space But someone has to put you back in your place Someone has to put you back in your place … Put you back in you place
[Chorus] Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go, go, go Go, go, go You flash and you go You flash and you go
[Bridge] I’ve waited six months for a call You said you loved me but you had to move on You said we’d talk soon but then you stalled And then you never even called … You never even called But I’m still waiting on But I’m still waiting more But I’ll still holding off From falling back in love
[Chorus] Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you go Like paparazzi You flash and you
You surprised my heart with an attack Declaring war on my insides With weapons never Intended for conflict
You shot shit not from a bull But a beast in human form Even a guerrilla wouldn’t Commit to those tactics
You agreed upon nonviolence With plastic promises and cosmetic lies Yet the paint on your face Confirmed you were still in battle
You engaged without bloodshed For you preferred the shedding of tears A smile dropped here and a smile dropped there You blew me up with peaceful kisses The bombs of seductive love
I’m glad our one-sided struggle ended when it did I would’ve never survived a nuclear relationship
[Chorus] Got the rain you wanted from me You and I could dance in a sea of green Made it rain at a few parties I know that’s not what you expected from me
[Verse 1] Finally got that high-paying job I never wanted Gave up all my dreams just so you could flaunt it Have all the things now you always said you wanted it But you don’t want me?
Made more money in an hour than you’ve ever seen Don’t understand why you’re not listening to me
You said you’d stay but you always seem to leave Everyone bleeds red, somehow I bleed green
Being successful ain’t all it’s cracked up to be When I was broke, you always seemed to love me I could buy you anything you want or need But that hasn’t stopped you from forgetting me?
mmm-hmmm mmm-hmmm
[Verse 2] For you I guess love is temporary So how do you expect to find an eternity? Not every man can love unconditionally In the future I’m sure you’ll know exactly what I mean
You’re not a gold digger, I finally see All you ever wanted was some security Guess now I got more than potential, baby So why the hell are you still gonna leave?
Made it to the top of the mountain, you see But I thought that you’d be standing there with me So I’m not really as happy as I should be And I can’t even smile or breathe
[Chorus] Got the rain you wanted from me You and I could dance in a sea of green Made it rain at a few parties I know that’s not what you expected from me
Got the rain you wanted from me You and I could dance in a sea of green Made it rain for a new baddie I know that’s what you said you wanted for me
