$ea of Green (Song + Lyrics)

[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

My Love

You are not flesh and bone,
Not clay and dust,
Nor light and darkness.

Neither are you some color
Fixed between good and bad
Or a mere figment of a poet’s imagination.

Rather, you are an admixture
Of fierce fire and flexible water.

Whenever I am near you,
All I feel is constant steam, ripened heat—
A desire to burn, no matter the consequences.

New Beginnings

You are the conception of peace,
The beauty within the eventide.

Yesterday (Song Snippet + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Your face reminds me of yesterday (Oh whoa)
I said those words and I meant ‘em, babe (Oh whoa)
Now can you whisper them back to me? (Oh whoa)
So I can figure out what they mean to me

This ain’t the part where I tell you not to leave
I don’t belong with you, and you don’t belong with me
But that’s the thing about love no else can see
You don’t get to pick and choose what you want it to be

Matter (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I will love you
Until I cannot
I will love you
Until I cannot

Because you matter
You matter, you matter
Because you matter
You matter, you matter

[Verse]
You’re the best thing in this world to me
My only hope
My only dream
My only need

I haven’t felt a single fear
Since I held your hand
Kissed your lips
Wiped your tears

My only job is loving you
And you loving you
And loving you and loving you
And that is all I wanna do

[Chorus]
I will love you (I will love)
Until I cannot (Not)
I will love you (I will love)
Until my pulse drops (Drops)

So I will love you (I will love)
Like there’s no stop (None)
And will love you (I will love)
Until my heart pops

[4x]
Because you matter
You matter, you matter
Because you matter
You matter, you matter

[Outro]

I’m In Love With You (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I’m in love; it’s true

I’m in love
I’m in love (with you); it’s true
I’m in love
I can’t say bye to you

[Verse 1]
I never thought you’d be the one inside my heart
I never thought you’d build a home inside my heart
I never thought I’d see you and think these kind of thoughts
I never thought … I never thought beyond

[Verse 2]
Who knew the path was the path we could never stay?
Who knew the past was the past that day?
Who knew the future would be so sad all day?
I never knew it would … it would go this way

[Verse 3]
I had a feeling I’d love you for always
I had a feeling I’d love you if you went away
I had a feeling my feelings would always stay
I should’ve known it would end—and I’d end up this way

[Chorus]
But I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I’m in love; it’s true

I’m in love
I’m in love with you
I’m in love
I can’t say bye to you
