Local Roses 03:07
LOCAL ROSES It's not her There's a ghost in her clothes It's not love But it felt like it then I can hold her now But it's clear that she's not mine to keep Guess it was always in my heart to let her go The local rose I'll never know It's a dream That I'm not free to leave And it's a promise If I could ever learn to keep one I still walk your street Like it's new to me But I know this house Now I've got my chance  To finally to do things right But I won't tonight If you say goodbye So will I  If you say goodbye So will I If you say goodbye So will I I can hold her now But she was never mine at all Guess I was always meant to let her go The local rose I'll never know If you say goodbye So will I

Alluria 04:40
ALLURIA I ignored your parents' calls While our shadows fought up on the walls Your name is syrup on my lungs Stickiest when said in tongues Breathe me in While you can Breathe me in While you can Alluria It’s getting harder to stay Don’t bother taking my name If you’ll never love me someday Alluria Give me a reason to stay Just tell me something to change my mind And I promise to get carried away Had your birthday underground Kissed you deep til’ you came down How can I be here when you’re not? I made you come, but you forgot Breathe me in While you can Breathe me in While you can Alluria It’s getting harder to stay Why bother looking at me that way If you’re never gonna love me someday? Alluria Give me a reason to stay Just tell me something to change my mind And I promise to get carried away Alluria It’s getting harder to stay Don’t bother taking my name If you’ll never love me someday

Reckless 04:19
RECKLESS Don’t cry out to me Like it’s my job to find you I know where you’ll be Is bad luck so hard to find? I just can stop feeling alone ‘Cause I wake up inside myself You’d be mine if I was someone else Tonight is a lifetime And love’s a familiar face Don’t look down Will you remember my name… Will you still know this song When your reckless years are gone? Don’t make plans ‘Cause they all involve something that you can’t stand And he’s an exit away You just can stop feeling alone ‘Cause you wake up inside yourself You found love and I found something else Tonight is a lifetime And love’s a familiar face Don’t look down Will you remember my name… Will you still know this song When your reckless years are gone?

Robbery Love 04:03
Robbery Love I know you're watching And I hope you sit real still ‘Cause this time's different I can't feel the city's chill I know you're hoping  That I'm hanging by a thread But this teenage feeling Is what I've got instead I'm in love with you I'm in love with you And no matter what I do No matter what I fall  For robbery love I know you're watching And I know you can't sit still ‘Cause this time's different I've got the world until I hoped you make it Long enough to rue the day You'd like to break it But I think we'll be okay I'm in love with you I'm in love with you And no matter what I do No matter what I fall  For robbery love I'm in love with you Oh my god I'm in love with you And no matter what I do.. No matter what I fall  For robbery love
