Fire Starter 02:36
Let’s seal all the exits To prove that we mean it To show that we’re brave enough To finally face the danger Let’s gather the kindling And strike up the matches We’ve finally got the tinder To get this fire started Let’s stoke up the fire Until the coals are glowing Commit to the moment And dance across the embers Dance across the embers Dance across the embers
2.
Pretty Boy 02:17
You never bothered to see me for what I am You never saw me as anything more than a friend A pretty boy is gonna hold you tonight A pretty boy is gonna love you tonight And it’s me Me You didn’t take the time to look deeper than my skin (You know what I mean. You know what.) But tonight I predict you’re gonna fall right in (You know what I mean. You know what.) A pretty boy is gonna hold you tonight A pretty boy is gonna love you tonight And it’s me Me You never bothered to see me for what I am (You know who you are. You know who.) You never saw me as anything more than a friend (You know who you are. You know who.) A pretty boy is gonna hold you tonight (A pretty boy) A pretty boy is gonna love you tonight And it’s me Me

South Carolina And Tennessee Leave them behind you Leave them for me A different climate With taller trees Come to the West Coast And we’ll be free Your Tuscaloosa Your Tennessee Your one-room-school-house Mentality Your North Dakota Your “wait and see” Your one-horse culture Is killing me You will leave the past behind you Thousand miles away where it can’t find you Nothing will be left to remind you Nothing left to hold the ties that bind you No more
4.
And when you taste the truth You wash it back with wine So when it finally Hits your bloodstream Everything seems normal Everything seems fine And when the truth arrives You claim it as your own But it’s far too potent Raw and sickening Harder than anticipated Closer to the bone And when the truth has passed And left you all alone You dust yourself off Show a brave face Claim that you are stronger Claim that you have grown

Permission 04:53
When I met you in the park You outshone all the fireflies in the dark Without even asking You were radiant that June You glowed and glimmered brighter than the moon Without even asking It was another gorgeous day You drew me near with your shimmer and your sway Without even asking It was a typical affair You had captured all the sunlight in your hair Without even asking When we parted in the fall You casually withdrew, dismissed it all Without even asking You turned to me and said “Who put all those thoughts into your head? I don’t need your permission” She said, she said I don’t need your permission She said, she said I don’t need your permission She said, she said I don’t need your permission She said, she said I don’t need your permission
